'Ex Machina', 'The End of the Tour' & More Screenplays Free For Your Consideration | No Film School

In just a few short years, A24 Films has made a name for itself as a distributor of provocative, character-driven films. Now they are making their case for this year's awards season, providing screenplays for several of their releases this year for your consideration including Ex Machina, The End of the Tour, While We're Young, Mississippi Grind, Slow West, and Remember.

A24 will likely make its biggest awards push for its upcoming release Room, which has been receiving rave reviews from the fall festival circuit, but we'll have to wait a little longer to see the script for that film. For now, let's take a look at the trailers for each of the films mentioned above before we get to their screenplay links.

Here's the trailer for the artificial intelligence thriller Ex Machina:

The End of the Tour chronicles the story of Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky's interview with author David Foster Wallace. Here's the trailer:

Writer/director Noah Baumbach contemplates middle age in While We're Young. Check out the trailer:

Finally, A24 plans to release Atom Egoyan's latest film Remember in January in the U.S. The film follows a man with dementia carrying out a vendetta against the person responsible for his family's death in Auschwitz. Check out the trailer:

28 Years Later iPhone

Why Did Danny Boyle Shoot ‘28 Years Later’ on an iPhone 15?

Here’s everything we know about the reports of the new ‘28 Years Later’ thriller being shot on an iPhone 15.

Move over, Sean Baker and Steven Soderbergh—Danny Boyle is the latest director to make the bold choice to shoot his latest feature film on an iPhone. Why, you ask? Partly, perhaps, because the team knows it will get them some nice headlines like this one. And partly just because they can.

Whether you love or hate the idea of shooting professional video on iPhones, it’s hard to argue that these latest smartphones aren’t capable of high-end video.

The iPhone 15, which is what Boyle and his team reportedly used for the long-awaited follow-up to the original 28 Days Later in 2002 and its 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, in particular, has proven to be a major step forward for Apple and was very much promoted as a filmmaking-capable camera.

Still, as is always the case with these smartphone-shot feature films, there’s more to the story than just the headline here. So let’s explore how Danny Boyle and his team were able to shoot 28 Years Later on an iPhone.
