Max-O-Matic for Variety Aaron Sorkin never truly feels his scripts are finished. “They’re just confiscated,” he says. “There comes a time when someone says, ‘Pencils down.’”
So when director Michael Arden proposed the first Broadway revival of “A Few Good Men,” Sorkin saw an opportunity.
“The play needed another draft or two,” Sorkin says. It had been a hit when it ran on Broadway in 1989, and Sorkin himself adapted it into a 1992 film led by Tom Cruise and directed by Rob Reiner, but there was still more to be done. “Michael allowed me to do another draft and to hang a subtle lantern on this new, very relevant theme: A search for decency. What is it to be decent?”
