Blank Check Writer Blake Snyder

Written By: Blake Snyder

Better at turning spec scripts into serious money via studio bidding wars than churning out endless screenplays, Blake Snyder made his first half-million with the script that would ultimately pair Sly Stallone with Estelle Getty in possibly the only cop/granny comedy, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992).

But it was Blank Check that embodied every kid's wish come true. We don't know how $1,000,000 could buy everything witnessed in the film, but hey - we were kids. Also, inflation could have drastically increased the per-square-foot pricing of a mansion as big as Mr. Macintosh's.

Snyder translated his skills into teaching, expanding his scriptwriting manual 'Save The Cat!' into a worldwide program of workshops and computer software, teaching budding scriptwriters the craft until his death in 2009.

Our only bone to pick: our bikes being run over rarely ended in a million-dollar shopping spree. Usually, just tears.
