Screenplayers

Strangers from distant lands, subscribers of old. You have been summoned here to answer the threat of Screenplayers. As we reach our Season 1 finale, the time seemed fitting to bring to life one of the greatest pieces of fantasy script ever put to film. In a trilogy still beloved 25 years after its release, and with the threat of more sequels, prequels and spinoffs looming, we would not be forgive...

It was only a matter of time before we turned our snow-powered hands to a musical scene, and here it is with our first dive into the Disney archives for a scene where Elsa and Anna butt heads in the modern day classic: Frozen. Perhaps not the most famous scene from the film, the reprise of First Time in Forever takes the classic second-act conflict and gives it a helping of Disney magic. The tough...

It’s been a little under fifty years since the Xenomorph first leapt onto our screens in Ridley Scott’s Alien. And still now we feel the impact of that huge sci fi epic and the (mostly good) sequels that followed. A scene that literally got under the skin of everyone upon first viewing is the moment where Kane finds himself inhabiting a new friend in his stomach; it makes an unexpected appearance...

We’re fast approaching the release of The Devil Wears Prada sequel, and whilst we can only hope for great things from the long awaited second film, we can revisit the original whenever we want. One of the best in its genre, with stalwart performances and strength in both direction and screenplay. Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and of course Her Royal Majesty Queen Meryl Streep. In the l...

In the week that saw yet another Scream sequel hit the big screen, we’re thinking about how it all started, with Drew Barrymore on the phone answering questions about scary movies. The windows are curtainless, the popcorn is popped and the night is eery, as Ghostface looms, waiting to make his original kill. That Ghostface voice changer is iconic. The original voice was provided by Roger L. Jackso...

Seeking refuge beneath a large truck at a gas station, Woody and Buzz are still yet to find that friendship they’re so well known for today. Two of the most iconic voice performances of all time: Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, are shown off at their best when the 15 inch tall characters roll around and yell at one another before finding their way to Pizza Planet. We share that...

All that sits between them is a few panes of glass, and yet it feels like Hannibal Lecter could jump through and grab Clarice at any moment. The level of tension achieved in the most iconic scene from Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs is in most part down to the undeniable performances from both Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. It elevated both of their careers and still to this day each...

Oh would you look at that, it’s a When Harry Met Sally episode just in time for Valentines Day. When Ellis met Gareth, neither of them imagined they’d be recreating the iconic orgasm scene from this 80’s romcom. Nonetheless, it is one of our absolute favourites and a blueprint for success in romantic cinema, we were going to recreate at some point. Can we recreate the undeniable sexual tension bet...

Few have managed to create iconic family cinema like Steven Spielberg , and one of his mega hits is riotous, tense, dino-horror classic Jurassic Park. Split across two Jeeps (and a toilet), the film’s best scene sees the characters of the first Jurassic epic working together to escape the grips of Rexy. So the challenge for us then, was not only to recreate the gruff panic in the voice of Sam Neil...

In 1995, director Michael Mann brought together legendary crime actors Al Pacino and Robert De Niro for a character piece that had, at its centre, a legendary diner scene. With a bottle of Tomato Ketchup between them, and the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant soundtracking the scene, we watch Neil and Hanna go toe to toe with one another, in a conversation containing mutual respect. But would...
