30 Minutes of Movie-Making Advice

30 Minutes of Movie-Making Advice

We get pretty particular at ReviewMyScript. One of these days we’ll probably take on something like “How to Name Your Fictional Country”, but this week we’d like to point you in the direction of a much looser collection of general

The Comedy Don’ts of Workaholics

Workaholics Dont's

There’s little quite so off-putting in a comedy as the cliché. That’s why Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine, Anders Holme and Kyle Newacheck, creators of TV sitcom (sort of) Workaholics, developed a sprawling board of rules. Specifically, prohibitions on the use

Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy

Author Cormac McCarthy famously hardly ever spoke a word on the subject of his writing. Regardless, his death this last week has inspired some of the most thoughtful obituaries in memory. McCarthy’s work, despite its aggressively dispiriting nature, found its

Rick Dalton Dead at 90

We’re a little late to the party/funeral, but Rick Dalton isn’t real so we hope you can forgive the tardiness. The 90-year-old veteran Hollywood star apparently died, peacefully in his sleep in Honolulu, Hawaii, and is survived by his mutually

Adapting Henry V for 1944

Adapting Henry V for 1944

This wooden ‘O’. That’s how Shakespeare decided to address the supposedly meagre stage upon which Henry the Fift is performed. It was a direct reference to the Globe theatre, where audiences packed along the edges of the globe, with the

What Went Wrong with the Original Super Mario Bros. Movie?

Mario Brothers

The Super Mario Bros. movie (the first one, from the 80s), is infamously terrible. Multiple ‘Worst Films of All Time’ lists terrible. When considering just how safe the recent animated mega-hit Mario movie played things, how could the creators of

Why Soviet Animation Is Inspiring

Why Soviet Animation Is Inspiring

There’s a sort of idea about what a Soviet animation is. Obtuse, depressing, grim, rainy, deeply culturally specific. They’re allegorical, or nonlinear, or silent or or or… This notion is the fallout of Yuri Norstein’s monopoly on public interest in

Infinite Typewriters, Indefinite Quality

Infinite Typewriters, Indefinite Quality

The adage goes that if given an endless amount of time, an endless amount of monkeys and probably just as many typewriters, the troop will eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare, sans error. Sometimes it’s just Hamlet. Others, one

three wells of screenwriting

What’s been said…

“[Spling's] knowledge of film is encyclopaedic and his ability to analyse the aspirations of each filmmaker is perspicacious."

Dr Janet van Eeden, Screenwriter, Producer, Dean, Author 'Cut to the Chase'

"Kalil gently reminds us that, when fearfully facing the blank page, there are multiple wells, both external and internal, from which to drink deeply when searching for something truly original and moving to say.”

Gavin Hood, Director Eye in the Sky; Ender's Game & Tsotsi
