So, someone enlighten me. What's so special about the Nightcrawler script.

I watched the trailer on youtube and...hmm. Is this some cult classic, or, soon to be?

Haha!

LC, this is the script for the newfly funded Jake Gyllenhaal project that sounds pretty fantastic. He also turned down Into The Woods to get it made, which shows some serious belief. Into the Woods is also at Shepperton Studios now, and it seems they're pretty advanced with their pre-prod.

I couldn't understand how you could all be excited about the screenplay for this:

I get it now.  As you were.

Well, I just finished reading it and... No wonder Gyllenhaal jumped on this. Very unique protagonist and a script that deals with the same unique subject matter. Moves fast but felt this needed another 15 pages. Don't want to talk about a lot until more people have read it.

The star of the show here is surprisingly the writing/writing style. Probably one of the easiest reads ever. The writing was great, very refreshing. There's this technique used by Gilroy where there are no stops in the action. Everything on screen connects with the next action again and again and again. You can't put the script down because it's forcing you to go further. It's almost like one big sentence spanning across 108 pages.

Here's an example.


Quoted Text
THE SCANNER LIGHTS
blinking furiously through emergency frequencies and
LOU’S POV
as a TRACTOR TRAILER suddenly appears ahead ... crossing the
avenue as the
CHASE CAR
veers ... death spin ... split-second view of
AN EXPLOSION OF GLASS AND STEEL
as the CHASE CAR submarines under the trailer and the
SQUAD CARS
skid and collide and
LOU
brakes hard and he’s heading straight for the truck at
90 MPH
and
LOU
cuts the wheel at the last second and
THE CHALLENGER
threads the wreckage to come to
A STOP
some 100 feet away as
LOU
jumps out with his camera and calls to RICK ...


And the whole script continues like that. But not without its problems, mostly because I felt there was no history to Lou's character and that the ending didn't really correlate with his dilemma (if he even had one). Really though, it's an undeniably great read.

Thanks again, Mo.

Very interesting style of writing. Going to read it now.

I thought that the script was a very well written, yet ultimately unsatisfying read (mainly due to the ending, which Mo made reference to). Once a few more peeps have read it, I will be happy to explain my feelings in greater detail
