In this week’s edition of How Do You Script, we look at:
A tantalizing what-if Star Wars project, Black Phone 2, and more!
Let’s go!
Adam Driver pitched Kylo Ren Star Wars standalone movie with a script from Scott Z. Burns (!), Rebecca Blunt, and Steven Soderbergh (!!) but Disney rejected it (and that’s why we can’t have nice things).
Behind the scenes writing of After the Hunt and Anemone at 2025 New York Film Festival.
Scott Derrickson talks about how he and co-writer C. Robert Cargill approached Black Phone 2: “A Different Tone”.
What screenwriters can learn from the horror franchises that refuse to die.
Thanks for reading! Tune in next Thursday for a new weekly dose of How Do You Script.
