Hey friends, just wanted to have a little conversation with you all. I feel like every screenwriter has that one director they dream of working with someday. Some dream of Bong Joon-ho, some of Ridley Scott, some of Spielberg, Cameron, Christopher Nolan—and so on. And that’s great, because it means each of us recognizes which filmmaker can truly bring the stories in our hearts and minds to life.
As for me, my dream is to work with Guy Ritchie. Yes, his films aren’t perfect, but his style, his atmosphere, his whole cinematic language resonates deeply with me. RocknRolla, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Revolver, The Gentlemen, even Aladdin—for some reason they all left a strong, warm mark on my creative soul. I find myself rewatching his movies from time to time just to enjoy the vibe and the storytelling.
And you know, there’s even a video game thought I’ve carried for years. If there’s a game like Need for Speed: Underground, I feel like you could make something called “London Underground” inspired by Guy Ritchie’s worlds—something gritty and stylish, almost like a cousin to S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but set in London, where the protagonist has to navigate not-so-legal tasks and challenges. I think it could be incredibly fun.
Anyway—just wanted to share.
Who’s the director of your dreams?
Who would you love to collaborate with?

Stage 32 has feedback services (www.stage32.com/scriptservices).
"I would also be grateful for advice on where an author can share information about such a project for free, particularly on platforms aimed at a British audience or focused on historical drama." You could make a post about that in the Authoring & Playwriting Lounge (www.stage32.com/lounge/playwriting). You might get more advice there than the Screenwriting Lounge.
Thank you very much, Maurice Vaughan. I will do exactly that. I hope it works out.
Enormously interesting. A great period. Very popular. You'll need an episode breakdown/full synopsis. You'll be able to write a great pitch. I think it's a winner when you find the right person to pitch it at. There are good adverts around for historicals.
