'Spotlight' Screenplay Now Available For Your Consideration | No Film School

One of the most talked about films during the awards circuit and a frontrunner for the Oscar for Best Picture, Spotlight follows the story of the Boston Globe team of journalists that uncovers the Catholic church sex abuse scandal in Boston that fanned out across the entire world. Spotlight is an excellent film about journalism, morality, power, and blindness, even among those whose job it is to shine a light on the truth. Now, thanks to Open Road Films, we get a chance to see the screenplay behind the film.

Here's a look at the trailer:

Beyond being a great story well told, Spotlight reminds us of the importance of the integrity of journalists who are willing to investigate even the most respected institutions when they sense something is wrong and find a voice for people who feel like no one will ever listen to or believe their stories. The journey for the reporters on the Boston Globe Spotlight team while uncovering the Catholic church sex abuse scandal gets very personal for all four reporters, which is what ultimately makes the film so immersive for the audience.

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
