Lois Weber: More than a Writer-Director She’s the Auteur Activist of Early Cinema

1 week ago | scriptmag.com | Rosanne Welch

Film studies courses often still fawn all over Cecil B. DeMille and D.W. Griffith. Rather than wallowing in the racist messages of Birth of a Nation, professors should focus on the work of Lois Weber, whose use of screenwriting in her activism lends continued relevance to her work. In an era where we bask in the social justice messages of Get Out, by writer-director Jordan Peele, it seems only right to connect the dots from Weber to Peele. So, to celebrate this 50th column, we’re celebrating Weber.

3 weeks ago | scriptmag.com | Bryan Young

Nick Castle has been working in Hollywood across five decades. Most would know him most recognizably as the man behind the mask of Michael Myers in the original 1978 Halloween from the legendary John Carpenter. Despite this landmark performance in the world of horror, and endless questions at conventions and appearances about Michael Myers, he thinks of himself first and foremost as a writer and director.
Lessons from the Film: Unpacking 'Black Bag'

3 weeks ago | scriptmag.com | Valerie Kalfrin

The new spy drama Black Bag uses as its title a term for things no one can discuss—a tricky business for married British intelligence agents when one of them makes a shortlist of possible traitors. Happily, we’re under no such restrictions. Directed by Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh (Traffic), Black Bag is a sexy cerebral thriller, with fewer action hijinks than 2005’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith but plenty of subtext, tension, and wit. Think 2011’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with more flirting.

The Hunting Party is a refreshing take on the procedural, puzzle box thriller paired nicely with edge-of-your-seat character arcs from episode to episode.
