'Gold' stars Matthew McConaughey as businessman and modern-day prospector Kenny Wells. Eager for his lucky break, Wells will do just about anything to find gold. And after experiencing a “foretelling,” he teams up with a geologist (Édgar Ramírez) to search for gold in the uncharted jungles of Indonesia.Screenwriters Patrick Massett and John Zinman were inspired to write the script after Massett saw the story featured in a light-night documentary, and decided to take their chances on writing it on spec. A gamble which paid off, when it was developed by Paul Haggis, and eventually directed by Stephen Gaghan (Syriana, Traffic).We spoke with Massett and Zinman about watching movies with the script in your lap, the rhythm of a scene, not sending out your first script, and why working in Hollywood is like prospecting for gold.In addition to this audio format, the print interview for this conversation is available on Creative Screenwriting Magazine’s website.Stay up-to-date on other creative advice and watch our weekly YouTube series at www.creativeprinciples.live
