Every scene in your screenwriting should be worth watching. When in doubt, put it through The Late Night Talk Show test. Imagine an actor from your movie is on the Tonight Show plugging the film, and this is the scene they show. Does the audience now want to go see this movie?
THE FLY is among an exceptional run of 80s remakes that far surpassed their excellent originals. While it solidified Cronenberg's mastery of body horror, the screenwriting still stands out to me for its focus on the doomed relationship at the center. You can't take your eyes…
I've been screenwriting professionally since 1996. My best year financially was 2017. My second-best was 2002. Third-best was 1997! I had an okay year last year, even with the strike. I was lucky. I have a shot at this year being a very good year. Or it could be a disaster. I…

One of the most helpful screenwriting skills is learning to read a script from someone else’s POV other than your own. That sounds difficult, but it's not. Just put it down. The longer you go before rereading it again, the more it will feel like someone else wrote it.
There is a rule in improv to avoid "negotiation" scenes. Except it's not a rule. It's advice. For those just starting. It's good advice because negotiation scenes are tricky, and people learning to improvise will struggle with them. There are easier paths to a successful…
Calling it a character arc is a trap. It treats it as something different, something separate from everything else. Story is character and character is story. Take that to heart, and your screenwriting will not only get better but significantly easier as well.
I’m so grateful to @storyandplot. I think Cascade Edits are my absolute new favorite drafts to go through before locking a script. I’m smiling with every line removed per page. Thank you, Tom!! 🙏🏼

Kicking off the weekend with five (yes, FIVE) new requests from a producer for Grey List scripts. So absolutely thrilled for them!!! As always, you can find all of this year's (and last's) scripts here: bit.ly/48sHSF7 #TheGreyList24 #screenwriting
@storyandplot Give it up for Chuck Pogue. The "humanity" of The Fly... is the reason I hired him to write DragonHeart!
@storyandplot I can think of two other remakes that I think surpass the original which I believe warrants the comment “an exceptional run of 80s remakes” but I’m curious if you’re thinking of any others. Mine would be this, The Thing and The Blob. Any others?
Evergreen advice for our industry.
I love creating actual friendships with folks in the film industry. Someone I met three years ago just referred me for a project and I have a meeting set for next week. Find your vibe, find your tribe. #filmmaking #directing #screenwriting
@storyandplot The eponymous short story, by George Langelaan, is equally a thoroughly engaging read.
This scene from #Alien where Ash, Dallas and #Ripley search for the facehugger is a masterclass in quiet tension. But what makes it so good? 1/2 #shotzero #filmmaking #directing #cinematography #sci-fi #lv426
@storyandplot This film is a religious experience for me, Tom. I simply cannot be objective about it.
@storyandplot Structurally it reminded me of The Exorcist in that the protagonist has to watch a loved one deteriorate slowly - going back again and again, terrified of what she’ll see every time that door opens 😱
A wild writing month: I polished up a pilot that we're about to take out, finished the first draft of a short that I plan to direct, and wrote a spec for the Paramount fellowship. Exhilarating. Love it when it's this busy. Now for a little break before the next thing!
Love this! AND, sounds like a good challenge. Alright #screenwriters: share your SHORTEST scene and make me want to read the rest of your script.
Every scene in your screenwriting should be worth watching. When in doubt, put it through The Late Night Talk Show test. Imagine an actor from your movie is on the Tonight Show plugging the film, and this is the scene they show. Does the audience now want to go see this movie?
@storyandplot Oh, I like this exercise. Thank you, Good Human.
