Something just occurred to me. I have tried to avoid it for most of my time writing, but the more I do this, the more I have to soberly acknowledge that I am always going to have a political agenda in my screenwriting. There is no avoiding it. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

This is another one of those #scriptsky threads. It is a random thought I had, but not all random thoughts nag me on the same level of “okay, I have to talk about it.” Not like this one.

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

You either make a simple plot, or you hold your nose and appease an anti-artisan mandate.
It is one thing when a screenwriter chooses that approach. It is another when an executive forces your voice onto the chopping block. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

There used to be more time to introduce characters and setting - then it changed to jumping right in to the story - now it’s repetition of plot…screenwriters trying to keep up with a moving target :(

I do not know who in #scriptsky needs to hear this, but I am also reminding myself: you are exactly where you need to be. Your accomplishments will be realized sooner rather than later. You are still here because of one salient fact: you are cut out for this. ❤️

This never fails to crack me up. I'm working on the second draft of my feature, but I've gone from 85 to 84 pages, then 85, and back to 84 again. There and back again: a screenwriter's tale. #scriptsky #scriptsky+ #ifyouknowyouknow

Today was a good screenwriting day for me. I’m getting far with the second draft of my WIP and I’m almost finished with an outline for another one. #scriptsky
How was your day so far?

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

It’s been another week in #scriptsky, and now it feels like I should start paying rent over there with how much time I’m spending 😂 but I’m grateful.
I'm currently at a stage where I’ve not only downloaded the #bluesky app on my damn phone, but I also find myself checking it, reminiscent of my social media routine when I checked Twitter before it got bastardized.

Yeah, coffee is great, but have you ever found the one song that fits your entire movie and played it on repeat while outlining the whole thing? It feels like bonding with a baby before it’s delivered.

Words from a mayor are influential but the moment you backtrack on said words, you've diminished your cause and made it apparent that you think stern words that you don't believe in will make you a "revolutionary."
What an #idiot.

Screenwriting is an open tent. Come right on in. It does not matter your gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or any belief that does not advocate harm. So why do misogynists get so butt-hurt when there are initiatives designed to uplift marginalized folks? #scriptsky #scriptsky+

My New Year’s resolution is to pitch something this year, or at least get closer to the querying step. I’m not doing that until I’m ready, so maybe I’ll write a script that wins a spot in a contest -- anything to get my name out there. #scriptsky #scriptsky+
We all need an occasional reminder, so listen up. Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

Oppressors thrive on your indifference and silence. I tolerate differing beliefs. What I won't tolerate is refusing to utilize our privilege to at least try to stay informed, especially when human lives are not only at stake, but are being extinguished and forgotten. #humanity #nokings

Putting everyone on the spot: what’s the latest script you finished? I just wrapped a draft of a 20-page psychological dramedy. #scriptsky
Logline: After the COVID-19 vaccine, a psychotic man believes his five-year-old daughter became an orc and launches delusional schemes to enact justice.

Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.
This Was Inevitable. And It Is Unforgivable. ICE Owns This.
A warning ignored. A life lost. This cannot become routine.
