In this week’s edition of How Do You Script, we look at:
How Nora Garrett struck gold with After the Hunt, what drew Ana Nogueira to Supergirl, and whether AI can give better feedback than a Hollywood Script Reader.
Let’s go!

Jeremy Slater already writing Mortal Kombat III screenplay despite Mortal Kombat II being delayed to 2026.
Ari Aster talks script-to-screen changes for Eddington- including scrapping a real-life Big Tech CEO role (hint: it was Mark Zuckerberg).
Sigourney Weaver has seen 50 new pages of an Alien script from producer Walter Hill (Alien, 48 Hrs)- won’t rule out returning to the seminal Ripley character.
Creative duo R.H. Norman and Micheline Pitt-Norman talk about Home Haunt segment in V/H/S: Halloween.
