I just watched David Cronenberg’s SCANNERS from 1981, and here are 5 tasty screenwriting leftovers for your mental tupperwear:

1 - Get that screenplay locked down before production begins.
2 - Decide if you’re making a Type 1 or Type 2. Try not to shift between them drastically as the story progresses.
3 - If there are elements of magic, determine the rules. What can the magic do, and what can it NOT do?
4 - As an exercise, remove all fantasy elements. Do you still have a compelling human story beneath your fantasy elements decoration?
5 - If you’re David Cronenberg, do whatever the heck you want, because your next film is Videodrome.
