Featured Friday: Untrustworthy
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 unreliable characters. These are stories where perspective takes precedence over objective truth.
Prose fiction allows a reader to be lied to directly by the narrator. When a story's on screen, there are other tricks needed to pull the wool over the audience's eyes.
Maybe they're lying. Maybe they're confused. Or it could be that the reality your shown isn't even real to begin with.
This week's scripts include:
- (500) Days of Summer by Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber
- Big Fish by John August
- Black Swan by Mark Heyman and Andrés Heinz and John McLaughlin
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind by Charlie Kaufman
- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
- I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Charlie Kaufman
- Joker by Todd Philips & Scott Silver
- Legion - "Pilot" by Noah Hawley
- Mr. Robot - "Pilot" by Sam Esmail
- Mulholland Drive by David Lynch
- Ripley - "A Hard Man to Find" by Steven Zaillian
- The Wolf of Wall Street by Terence Winter
- You - "Pilot" by Greg Berlanti & Sera Gamble
