Draft Zero: a screenwriting podcast

DZ-02: Do the Screenplay Gurus score big at the Box Office?

Listen Later

After analysing awards-nominated screenplays, Stu and Chas turn to the original screenplays that struck it biggest at the box office in 2013: GRAVITY and FROZEN. Do bigger films stick more closely to the archetypal story structures espoused by Vogler and Snyder?

We start discussing GRAVITY at around 7'33" and FROZEN at 54'40", although discussion does skip back-and-forth at times.
