Manager and producer Brooklyn Weaver of Energy Entertainment joins us for episode twelve of Unedited: From Idea to Manuscript and Shelf to Screen. We discuss why books remain the bedrock of Hollywood but how other forms of literary material from comic books to short stories are taking increasing market-share in underlying IP. Having managed and worked with top talent from Rob Liefeld to Christian Bale to Stephen Spielberg, Brooklyn takes us into the hay day of the 1990s and what it was like to write coverage as a young assistant on projects like The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Family Man, and The Sixth Sense. Looking ahead, we talk about why underlying IP will remain critical and how today’s writers should think about what their books need to deliver to readers and to Hollywood.
Brooklyn Weaver is a manager, producer and the CEO of Energy Entertainment. He has represented elite literary talent, sold top IP-based packages to all major studios, networks and streamers, and produced series and features including Out of the Furnace starring Christian Bale and Casey Affleck and Run All Night starring Liam Neesen and Ed Harris.
