Not into old movies? You’ll be pleased. Only contemporary material today!
We’re looking at a scene from Taylor Sheridan’s action screenplay for THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD, and a scene from the drama pilot of THE WHITE LOTUS.
You may not have seen either, and that is fine. Often you’ll discover more if you are not distracted by any memories.
I rewatch the classics all the time, but when it comes to screenwriting, it is critical that you also read modern scripts.
Format, style and voice have changed radically over the years, and you don’t want to look like you haven’t opened a script for decades!
