Featured Friday: Noir

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

This week, like every week, I woke up with a feeling I couldn’t shake. Like a flame moving its way down a match, I could tell bad news was heading my way. It didn’t take long for it to show up – a little Film Noir collection with two Shane Black scripts and legs for days waltzed through my door, asking me to put it up on Weekend Read. I hadn't opened that app since my partner died in it, but what can I say? They didn’t have to tell me twice.

Our collection includes:

• Blade Runner by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples
• Chinatown by Robert Towne
• Collateral by Stuart Beattie
