That image there represents the screenplay I reviewed in this month’s newsletter. That script comes from the hottest writer-director in Hollywood at the moment. The man is single-handedly setting up project after project. And this is his buzzy ascension into a brand new genre. To give you some insight into my reaction, I gave this script a rating I’VE NEVER GIVEN BEFORE. So, you’re definitely going to want to check this out.

Other topics in this month’s newsletter include me admitting I was wrong about something. I know. Shocker of the century. Some new writing insights into the future of AI (writing scripts is going to radically change). An update on that buzzy new 180 page hero’s journey amateur screenplay I read, now with more story detail! Timothee Chalamet (of course). How to actually write flashbacks that work. And my final thoughts on the run-up to the May release of Mandalorian and Grogu.
