Featured Friday: Burn Down the Farm
Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.
Some quests leave an escape hatch for the hero. If this adventure doesn't work out, there's something they can fall back on.
These aren't those kind of stories.
These are stories where the security of home and family are cut off early on. Whether it's death, natural disaster, or relativistic time displacement that puts them in this position, these characters have one direction they can go: forward.
This week's scripts include:
- 28 Days Later by Alex Garland
- Finch by Craig Luck & Ivor Powell
- Gladiator by David Franzioni and John Logan
- Interstellar by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan
- Kill Bill: Volume 1 by Quentin Tarantino
- Memento by Christopher Nolan
- Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope by George Lucas
- The Shawshank Redemption by Frank Darabont
- The Witch by Robert Eggers
