WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Stop scrolling. Start writing. Even staring at a blank screen counts. That’s where every screenplay begins. We’re all craving original stories on the big screen. Hollywood’s (finally) catching on. #scriptsky

October 1st can’t come soon enough! First trailer dropped for our good friend and advisor, Shane Black’s new film, Play Dirty, starring Mark Wahlberg.

Breaking into Hollywood has never been simple, and yet, there have never been so many directions to take. Madeline Luu, a newcomer to screenwriting, investigates those directions in our newest blog post. #scriptsky

The guys @scripthop.bsky.social held a legendary bash at Shane Black's house over the weekend to celebrate their first cohort of scripts to complete The Gauntlet; an incredibility new and exciting way to get the attention of Hollywood! See who you can spot in the photos!

The Golden Age of Hollywood favored original storytelling and set the stage for what was possible on the big screen, inspiring generations of filmmakers to come. Hollywood could use a little bit of that energy again… stay tuned 👀 #scriptsky

And Coverfly joins the other vanishing services. If you’re looking for a new passageway into Hollywood – The Gauntlet is open! We accept features & TV pilots. Start Here ➡️ www.scripthop.com #scriptsky

The Gauntlet is the apex of assessment for a reason. That's why screenwriters prefer us to standard coverage. #scriptsky

The uncertainty in Hollywood isn’t just palpable. It’s painful. For this industry to survive, it needs to move forward. That said, we see an opening to boost Hollywood’s creative pipeline via the Gauntlet. As Walt Disney once said:

Let's normalize being transparent about who your script readers are. That's why our readers are public on our website: www.scripthop.com/Gauntlet Let us know when Black List does the same. #scriptsky

We’ve entered a new year since our last Gauntlet update. Here’s a quick glance: ⛔ Script Competitions Closing Down 🔄 Gauntlet Re-Entries ↗️ Making Scripts Better 🔜 Seal of Consensus Script Announcement Click here for the full update: www.scripthop.com/Blog/post/ap... #scriptsky

Q: How does The Gauntlet account for taste in screenwriting? A: Our readers actually work in the industry. They’re gatekeepers from well-known entities like Amazon, Netflix, HBO, UTA, Lucasfilm, Sony, and many more. All of whom you can meet @ www.scripthop.com/Gauntlet #scriptsky

While everyone is mad at the Nicholl and Blacklist, here’s what people think of us… #scriptsky

Let's talk about script feedback... #scriptsky

Why, Screenwriting Gods? WHY?!?! #scriptsky

With certain script competitions and coverage services shutting down on top of the rise of A.I., accessing script feedback from real human readers just became trickier. Gauntlet readers are 100% real professionals who won’t (CAN’T) use A.I. to assess your script. #FAIFriday #scriptsky
