Summary: "Your internet connection. It's good. So good it scratched that part of my mind, the part that doesn’t allow good to exist without condition. That’s when I decided to hack you." This week on THE SCRIPT, we analyze the new cyberpunk drama series on USA: “MR. ROBOT” What is the definition of the Cyberpunk anyway? One convention of cyberpunk is homage to other cyberpunk works-- can you count all of Mr. Robot's (Blade Runner, Neuromancer, The Matrix)? How do you write in a niche genre and keep a broad audience entertained when they have little genre precognition? #PhilipKDickReference What is a greater feat in screenwriting: making every scene end different from how the audience expects OR showing internal conflict in a visual medium through character choices under pressure? (HINT: Creator Sam Esmail knows how to do both). And find out where we thinking Mr. Robot ranks in the hall of fame for "Obligatory Computer Screen POV Hacking Shots" ps -ef | grep -i os12 Episode 3 of “Mr. Robot" airs tonight on USA @ 10:30p.
