This sounds awesome! Sign me up — I would love to do Moonrise Kingdom, if that's alright. Edit: ooh, or maybe Wadjda... Hmm... or *both*?
thisisdaniel at 2014-10-29 23:30:45:
(Would doing two be alright?)
Scott at 2014-10-30 00:00:00:
Daniel, Moonrise Kingdom, which was one of my very favorite movies of 2012, would be great. And if you want to do 2, be my guest: Wadjda would, I'm sure, expose more people to the movie as I'm sure there are quite a few folks who have yet to see it. Again, I'd love to see this turn into an ongoing weekly series to encourage reading scripts, engender some [hopefully] lively analysis and discussions, and aggregate a terrific archival resource for writers. I'll update the OP to include you for MK and Wadjda. Thanks!

Hi Scott, I'd like to sign up to do "Frozen" Thanks
mattd_85 at 2014-10-30 06:21:10:
I'd be interested in doing one of the screenplays too... Maybe "gravity" or "prisoners" but can I just confirm that I'd do the scene-by-scene breakdown myself and then all the other topics would be on a open forum discussion basis? It's just I'd like to be involved but don't have masses of free time at the moment.
Scott at 2014-10-30 11:40:07:
Frozen would be fantastic, Christina. I'll add you to the list and thanks!
Scott at 2014-10-30 11:41:51:
matt, certainly. The rest of the discussions after the breakdown gets posted are all 'organic,' whoever can participate does so on their own time. Which would you prefer: Gravity or Prisoners? And thanks in advance!
mattd_85 at 2014-10-30 13:24:15:
I think I'll take 'Gravity' please Scott. It'll be interesting to break down a more unconventional script, in that essentially the movie is one long, uninterrupted scene.
N D at 2014-10-30 14:29:53:
I'll take The Social Network. I think we could all learn a thing or two from analyzing a Sorkin script :).
Scott at 2014-10-30 15:48:25:
Gravity is yours. Will update the original post to include that info. Will be interesting because it's not only a short script, there are several lengthy scenes. Again thanks!
Scott at 2014-10-30 15:48:51:
N D, that's great. Social Network it is for you and thanks!
John Arends at 2014-10-30 15:58:09:
Scott, I'd love to break down "Hanna" if it's still in play.
Scott at 2014-10-30 16:14:10:
John, Hanna would be great. I'll be we could loop Seth Lochhead, one of the movie's screenwriters, into the discussion that week as I know him pretty well. Thanks!

As an enthusiastic reader of the blog, I figure it's about time I contribute something. I'd like to do a breakdown for "The Way Way Back".
Scott at 2014-10-30 17:19:00:
Great call, Ricky, for a really good movie. Will be interested to compare film to script. Thanks for agreeing to do the scene-by-scene breakdown for The Way Way Back!
mattd_85 at 2014-10-31 04:22:25:
When we're finished where do we need to send the breakdowns and in what format please?
Scott at 2014-10-31 04:31:14:
Email them to me: GITSblog at gmail dot com. Format like what I did with Up.
mkm28 at 2014-11-05 16:31:55:
I'd like to do Prisoners. :)
Scott at 2014-11-05 16:38:20:
You've got it, mkm28, and thanks!
Ali at 2014-11-09 12:24:53:
I'd like to do Beginners and Enough Said.
Scott at 2014-11-09 13:56:22:
Great, Ali. I'll put you down for those. Thanks!
jkilhefner at 2014-12-08 13:36:37:
Hey Scott, I'd love to do a breakdown of The Wolf of Wallstreet if no one's offered yet!
Scott at 2014-12-08 20:03:49:
Sure! Great script to break down. I've added you to the list: Wolf of Wall Street. Thanks!
