@mexopolis Proud of you for making the right decision. Good man.

[Adam Pava @adampava]

@philiplord @chrizmillr @adityasood Fine. It was Hüller good.

[Adam Pava @adampava]

I was lucky to see an early screening of Project Hail Mary yesterday. What a beautiful, funny, exhilarating adaptation. Simultaneously huge and intimate, a buddy movie about the power of connection. Congrats @philiplord @chrizmillr @adityasood and whole team on making a classic.

@BrianDuffield My favorite producers to work with, at my favorite studio to write for. Congrats, you lucky bastard!

[Adam Pava @adampava]

@CubanMissileDH @joshgad @BenjiSamit @MelBrooks Excited! Jealous! Anxious! So many emotions. Congrats dudes!!

@MattyDanner @Photoshop Acorn is the closest. Exact same tools etc.

[Adam Pava @adampava]

@MikenIke16 @ort_smort @TaraBillinger Sure, but do you have hand-painted backgrounds from the original pilot, somewhere deep in your garage?

[Adam Pava @adampava]

@adityasood @philiplord I can still hear him: "Pizza! Pizza? Piz-ZA! PEE-za... I can keep going if you tell me what you want..." (Cut to Phil giggling and telling him to just keep going). We had video tape of it somewhere in Phil's storage.

RIP Joe Flaherty, comedy god. That day in the studio recording him is still one of the funniest, weirdest things I've ever witnessed. Here's what I wrote about it back then:

@philiplord overdressed. Otherwise, good work, team.

[Adam Pava @adampava]

This is so sad. Mark and I developed a movie together at Laika. So talented, so clever, so dry, so passionate, always pushing for every moment to be more surprising. He leaves a legacy of brilliant stop-motion, from Fantastic Mr Fox, to the California Raisins, to Pinocchio.

@JorgeCoolReyes @AkivaGoldsman That one’s already named after Mel Shavelson and James Webb, the OG menches of WGA strikes. Maybe a statue?

[Adam Pava @adampava]

@zombietardis Insane. I wrote a pitch for this over ten years ago, in 2012. It was always a great idea for a movie. WB is a mess. I'll alway root for them to right the ship, I hope Bill can do it.

[Adam Pava @adampava]

@mattknudsen You did it! Tentatively.

[Adam Pava @adampava]

@IratheUnger Not one like? This joke deserves at least one like.

[Adam Pava @adampava]

This feels like an @adityasood move if I ever saw one. And a good fit for @philiplord and @chrizmillr because it’s so got many characters and worlds it’s practically un-filmable. Aka their specialty.

[Adam Pava @adampava]

@mexopolis The best.

[Adam Pava @adampava]

Really good post-mortem. https://t.co/djL7iG0ebm

This video made me tear up at the meeting last night. What a crazy 5 months.
