With marketplace disruptors such as Netflix and the first phases of The Marvel Cinematic Universe leaving their mark, new opportunities have been created for screenwriters and filmmakers who are keen to get their stories in front of industry professionals. \u003cbr\u003eThis time around, Lucy V Hay doesn't just guide you through the writing of movies, but spec TV pilots too. Putting iconic, mixed-genre projects under the microscope -such as\u003ci\u003eStranger Things\u003c\/i\u003e(horror thriller), \u003ci\u003eBrooklyn 99\u003c\/i\u003e(comedy thriller) and\u003ci\u003eLost\u003c\/i\u003e(sci fi thriller) - she considers what writers can learn from these shows. \u003cbr\u003eShe also argues that the lone protagonist in a thriller has had its day and looks at how the genre is moving into a space beyond 'The Hero's Journey'. Case studies to support this include\u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games, Captain Marvel, Iron Man\u003c\/i\u003eand many more. \u003cbr\u003eFinally, the book considers how the screenplay might be sold to investors, exploring high concept ideas, pitching, packaging and the realities of film finance - all updated for the 2020s - and lays out alternative routes to sales and production, including transmedia such as novels and adaptation, and immersive storytelling online.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucy V.
