| 1. The May/June Issue of Script is on Newsstands Now |
 In the May/June issue of Script magazine, senior staff writer Bob Verini rates the new crop of summer blockbusters. We interview Braveheart scribe Randall Wallace about adapting Ayn Rand's epic tome Atlas Shrugged. Plus, horror writer-director Eli Roth takes us inside Hostel: Part II as part of our "Writers on Writing" series and discusses twist endings, torture scenes, and advice from Quentin Tarantino.
Also in this issue: Judd Apatow talks Knocked Up; Hank Nelken writes about his family comedy Are We Done Yet?; we go inside Tribeca All Access (the Tribeca Film Institute's program for minority filmmakers); celebrated novelists Susan Minot and Michael Cunningham discuss bringing Minot's novel Evening to the big screen; and much, much more!

Script Secrets: Character First With William Martell: Los Angeles, May 26 & 27, 2007
This new class will take you step-by-step from blank page to fully formed character, then show you how to find the story within that character. You'll learn how to show character through actions, decisions and interactions with environment. This is a different and unique approach to screenwriting that places character first. Car chases don't go to the movies, PEOPLE do -- so let's focus on the people part of stories!
William C. Martell has written 19 produced films, and the "Independents" column for Script magazine for over a decade. Ted Elliott (Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek) calls Martell's book, The Secrets of Action Screenwriting, "The best book on the practical nuts-and-bolts mechanics of writing a screenplay I've ever read."
