Featured Friday: Love and Death

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

This week, our collection feels weird about how we only seem to see each other at weddings and funerals. These are all stories about beginnings and endings, change and lost opportunities. Love that ends with death, and love that never dies.

Our collection includes:

  • Big Fish - screenplay by John August
  • Beetlejuice by Warren Skaaren and Michael McDowell
  • Ghost by Bruce Joel Rubin
  • Harold and Maude by Colin Higgins
  • I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Charlie Kaufman
  • Only Lovers Left Alive by Jim Jarmusch
  • The Last of Us "Long Long Time" by Craig Mazin
  • The Princess Bride by William Goldman
  • Titanic by James Cameron
  • William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet adapted by Craig Pearce and Baz Luhrman

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