William Monahan, who wrote the screenplays for Kingdom of Heaven and The Departed, was interviewed by Steve "Frosty" Weintraub for Collider. Monahan discusses the status of several recent and upcoming projects, but the interview holds interest for screenwriters in particular because of some of the lessons he's learned along the way, including that a writer can't be a "precious author" because changes, sometimes significant ones, will be made. (Monahan says that The Departed is the only film he's written that is essentially the script on film.)
