Mark and I had the brilliant idea to take on the 52 Week Challenge from www.readwatchwrite.com.
This wonderful website has posted 52 scripts from all different genres with a challenge to read one a week for a year. What's the point you may ask? One of our heroes, Robert McKee, in his great book Story, argues that if you want to be a successful screenwriter then you should be writing, reading scripts or watching movies every day. Along the lines of Gladwell's "10,000-Hour Rule", we will be reading some of the greatest scripts of all time in an attempt to learn from the masters. From Chinatown to Zombieland, we'll be studying. We'll let you know our favorites at the end of the year.
