Mark Rosenthal - Other Appearances and Contributions

Other Appearances and Contributions

Rosenthal is a voting member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences. He was featured in Tales From The Script: 50 Hollywood Screenwriters Share Their Stories and in Why We Write: 25 Top Screenwriters Share Their Stories (Sillman-James Press).

Rosenthal, working with Konner, did non-credited work on I, Robot as well. In the original draft, the Bridget Moynahan character was the "hidden robot-human hybrid". Realizing that this dilemma would explain Will Smith's antipathy towards robots, Rosenthal created a central character who had been maimed by robots. Rosenthal and Konner also wrote the sequence where Smith uncovers the escaped robot in the factory by shooting into the lines of robots.

Famous quotes containing the word appearances:

    What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.
    Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
