Featured Friday: Failed Experiments
Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.
This week's collection is all about creations turning on their creator. Because sometimes scientists have the technical know-how to make science-fiction a reality, but without the liberal arts-based critical thinking skills to realize it would be a bad idea.
This week's scripts include:
- Blade Runner by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples
- Ex Machina by Alex Garland
- Jurassic Park by David Koepp
- Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by Steph Lady
- Splice by Vincenzo Natali, Antoinette Terry Bryant and Doug Taylor
- Terminator 2: Judgement Day by James Cameron and William Wisher
- The Fly by David Cronenberg and Charles Edward Pogue
- The Mitchells vs. the Machines by Mike Rianda and Jeff Rowe
- The Terminator by James Cameron
Read these and other featured collections only on Weekend Read 2, available on all Mac and iOS devices. Download for free!
