The following screenwriter's interviews are available today:

• Jeff Nathanson is easily among the A-list of Hollywood screenwriters, His script for Catch Me If You Can earned him much critical praise, as well as the devotion of Steven Spielberg, who also brought him to work on his next movie, The Terminal. Nathanson has also collaborated with Jan de Bont on Twister and Speed 2: Cruise Control and with Brett Ratner on the Rush Hour films. In this interview, learn more about why he dreads pitching, never speaks during a notes meeting, and finds he can do almost all his research with the Internet and old Playboys.

• An accomplished writer, producer and director, Peter Tolan is probably best-known as co-creator of TV shows The Job and Rescue Me, and co-writer of Analyze This, and its sequel, Analyze That. He started his career on the writing staff of television sitcoms and then became a writer and producer on HBO's The Larry Sanders Show. From there, Tolan made his foray into movies with the screenplays for My Fellow Americans, Bedazzled, and America's Sweethearts. In this candid interview, hear all about his tales of procrastination, writing movies in 5 days and why he says he would have a great career if it weren't for… himself.

• While most writers find success in either TV or movies, comedy or drama, original or adapted screenplays, Ed Solomon has managed to do it all. He got his start in television sitcoms and went on to write quirky sci-fi comedies Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Men in Black, the crime drama Levity, which he also directed, and the adaptation of the mystery adventure novel Tokyo Suckerpunch. In this interview, get the scoop on Solomon's "bass-ackwards" entry into the world of screenwriting and how being just a funny guy translated into being a funny professional.
