I would encourage you as a screenwriter to trust your story and don't make notes for the actors or don't make notes for the reader.
Sometimes we go to a play and after the curtain has been up five minutes we have a sense of being able to settle back in the arms of the playwright. Instinctively we know that the playwright knows his business.
Damon Lindelof is hypnotizing. His imagination is without limits, and Tom Perrotta, as well. You begin to just trust, completely, where the story is going, knowing that you're entirely safe in the truthfulness of it.
It's all about the integrity of their characters. They [Marvel] care so much about the loyalty and integrity of each and every character and all of their stories. They trust and love their readership. They're the ones who have invested in these stories.
Trust the material; trust the story that you're telling.
One of my favorite things in watching an actor is feeling, The story is safe in your hands. I can lean back and trust you with this.
I just have to trust that the story is going to shake out in such a way that's going to be palatable to readers.
It's very difficult to hand someone your whole life story to play, and you've never really met that person.
