There's no con more satisfying and lucrative than finding a way to make a living as a screenwriter. And Ted Griffin is a man who knows a good con. Anyone who tried to follow the clever criminal head games he built into his screenplays for "Ocean's Eleven" and "Matchstick Men" knows not to trust this guy. Except when he talks about screenwriting, which he does with great humor and insight in this enlightening interview that ranges from his early work on "Ravenous" and "Best Laid Plans" through the unexpected pitfalls of trying to direct his first film, "Rumor Has It...".
