"It's not sad, Edith. It's nature. It's a world of everything dying and eating each other right beneath our feet."  This week on THE SCRIPT we continue our Halloween Horror Series with Guillermo Del Toro's gothic romance,"Crimson Peak." Is the titular Peak bleeding literally or metaphorically? What does the genre of Gothic Romance entail? What does Crimson Peak have in common with Matthew Robin's previous screenplay for Don't Be Afraid of the Dark? At what point in a film does the audience make a contract with the storyteller? And what does that contract entail from both parties? Should the producers have just entitled this film Guillermo Del Toro's Jane Eyre? Mia wasikowska does deserve two paychecks however two great performances of the same role.  #Halloween #horror #bloodydisgusting

"Does that feel okay? It kind of tingles. It's tingling?" - This week on THE SCRIPT we start our Halloween Horror series with the IFC Midnight franchise Contracted & Contracted: Phase II. What are the opportunities and obligations when sequelizing a successful horror concept? What defines "body horror" as a sub-genre? How does the Contracted franchise fair against its Sexually Transmitted cousin "It Follows" (Previously reviewed HERE on The Script). The Script Halloween Horror Series is for all you bloody disgusting freaks. P.S. We're starting a new band called "Debbie and The Rash."  #KYMggots #Halloween #horror #bloodydisgusting

"Yo Dre. What up? I got something to say." -- Ice Cube - This week on THE SCRIPT we analyze Straight Outta Compton, the F. Gary Gray biopic of legendary gangster rap group N.W.A. Did the filmmakers design Straight Outta Compton to speak to the issues of the Black Lives Matter movement? Or is a story about animosity between police and young black men that took place 30 years ago inherently relevant because the struggle continues today? What are the structural considerations when writing a biopic (Two words: Scope & Triumph)? How does the film manage poetic license vs. historical fact in terms of these artist’s legacies, the role of women in their story, and Eazy-E as the film’s emotional center of gravity? We discuss the multi-dimensional painting of Jerry Heller’s character as an allegorical stand-in for ‘the white savior’ and ‘the white devil.’ ALSO-- “Bye Felicia.” .  #NYCSC #NWA #BlackLivesMatter @FGaryGray

THE SCRIPT Podcast: Fantastic Four (Live)

“Please don't blow up, please don't blow up...” -- Reed Richards -- This week on THE SCRIPT, there was nothing Mr. Fantastic could do to salvage the biggest box office self detonation of the summer: FANTASTIC FOUR. What are the 5 elements every Superhero Tentpole should be judged by? How ‘invisible’ did the blockbuster’s only female character turn out to be? What is our expert screenwriters theory on the “1 Year Later” business? Also we address the Josh Trank controversy and discuss The Thing’s... ya know… ‘thing.’ This superhero sized episode of THE SCRIPT was recorded Live in front of an audience in New York City and includes a Q&A with our audience and users on the live stream.  #NYCSC #Marvel #FantasticFour @joshuatrank

UPDATE: Well it looks like our Fantastic 4 Panel is gonna be a bloodbath! We love a hollywood blockbuster gone wrong because it’s the best way to discuss the fundamentals of screenwriting, what’s wrong with the hollywood script development process, and how we can fix it.

Helmed by Josh Trank (Chronicle), scribed by action writer Simon Kinberg (X-MEN:DoFP, Sherlock Holmes, Jumper), with a cast of highly acclaimed young actors (Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell). Can this comic book franchise measure up to Avengers and X-Men? Can it pack a box office punch like Jurassic World?  Interact with our panel of script analysts in a Q&A after our analysis.  SCRIPT ANALYSTS: David Negrin, Jordan Brian Rosengarten, Kristina Leath-Malin, and Jeremy Engdahl-Johnson.

“Just as I suspected, toxic waste.” This week on THE SCRIPT, we analyze the new Netflix Series, reboot, reimagination, fever dream Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. What a screenwriting mindfuck. What a screenwriting challenge. What story components did creators Michael Showalter and David Wain smartly bring forward from the film to the series and what did they unfortunately leave behind? What is the slight difference in comedic tone that made Wet Hot a comedy cult classic and The State a comedy experiment? How does a director manage the intersection of improv comedy and scripted comedy? Despite our recurring criticism of Streaming Studio Pilots feeling incomplete in terms of writing a spec, we loved this series— independent vision with broad distribution. Oh that cast and Oh those cameos!  #NYCSC #WHAS #Netflix @mshowalter @michaelianblack

"Have you fucked before? Where is she buried?" This week on THE SCRIPT, our all woman panel returns to analyze the Amy Schumer feature film comedy vehicle: Trainwreck. What’s the difference between writing a high concept feature film comedy and edgy television sketch comedy? Is there variation in the comedic voices of Amy Schumer and director Judd Apatow? Do they blend well in Trainwreck? What is the holy grail for today's cutting edge comedy writers and performers? Is it Late Night or is it niche TV Series? And exactly did Amy Schumer take over the comedy world in 2015? Girl you don't need makeup, you're perfect when you wakeup!

"Baskin-Robbins always find out." This week on THE SCRIPT, we analyze the Marvel action comedy: Ant-Man. Where does Ant-Man stand in the new hall of Action/Comedy tentpoles like Guardians of the Galaxy, Kick-Ass, and Hot Fuzz? We address the Edgar Wright controversy and comment on his special comedic voice as a screenwriter. What is the re-writing trick known as "Act Shifting” (Note: it's shifting each act forward when the conflict of your screenplay isn't escalating fast enough.) Honey I Shrunk the Marvel movie expectations! We talk anthropomorphized sidekicks and get accent advice from a professional dialog coach who can do 60 accents!

"Monster is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat. RUUUN!”  This week on a T-Rex sized episode of The Script, our screenwriters analyze Jurassic World-- the reboot / remake / sequel to the original Jeff Goldblum chaos theory and open shirt vehicle: Jurassic Park (1993). Does Jurassic World pay enough homage to PARK in terms of, not just easter eggs, but dramatic themes? What's the key to escalating set pieces and renewing awe in a monster movie? (HINT: mo' dino-antagonists, mo' problems) How does Jurassic World stack up in the comedy department next to the new generation of Action/Comedy tentpoles like Guardians & Avengers? Do you remember the Steven Spielberg "Rule of Monster Reveal"? JW did.  And four white males respond to the Bryce Dallas Howard high-heel controversy. WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE WORLD!
