Featured Friday: Beach (Movie) Reads
Who needs sandcastles when you can read a screenplay on your phone?

Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.

This week, we travel to the beach – that summer staple of sand and surf that looks like it should be a little slice of paradise, but often ends up being anything but.

Our collection includes:

  • Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar by Kristen Wiig & Annie Mumolo
  • Cast Away by William Broyles Jr.
  • Forgetting Sarah Marshall by Jason Segel
  • Jaws by Peter Benchley
  • Moana 2 by Jared Bush & Dana Ledoux Miller
  • Moonrise Kingdom by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola
  • Point Break by James Cameron & Kathryn Bigelow
  • The Beach by John Hodge
  • The Beach Bum by Harmony Korine
  • The Descendants by Alexander Payne and Nat Faxon & Jim Rash
  • The Way, Way Back by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash
  • Us by Jordan Peele

Read these and other featured collections only on Weekend Read 2, available on all Mac and iOS devices. Download for free!
