What pivotal sequences underwent the biggest transformations on their way from script to screen? Today, Oscar-nominated screenwriter Roman Coppola talks to Kyle Buchanan about the climactic sequence to Moonrise Kingdom, which he co-wrote with director Wes Anderson (and naturally, SPOILERS will follow): Wes conceived this idea and knew he wanted to tell a story about scouting, an island, and young lovers coming together.

Over the next few weeks, Vulture is talking to the screenwriters behind 2012’s most acclaimed movies about the scenes they found most difficult to crack. What pivotal sequences underwent the biggest transformations on their way from script to screen? Today, John Gatins dissects a scene from the Denzel Washington drama Flight, as told to Kyle Buchanan: There’s a scene in the stairwell at the hospital where this gaunt young man appears — the character’s name is actually Gaunt Young Man — and he kind of takes the movie on a ride you’re not expecting for seven minutes.

Producer Loren Bouchard is expanding the universe of Bob’s Burgers into the big, exciting world of streaming, and the even bigger, exciting-er world of New York City with the trailer for his new Apple TV+ series, Central Park.

Peacock’s new series — which is an absolute hoot — gathers 20 big-name Reality TV stars to participate in a competition that’s sort of like Mafia or Werewolf. While most of the players (“the faithful”) are trying to work together to win a big cash prize, three of them (“the traitors”) are trying to secretly screw everything up without being caught so that they can snag it for themselves.

Somewhat slowing his slide into irrelevance, “the next Spielberg” (loco citato, Newsweek — emphasis on loco) M. Night Shyamalan has come up with an unoriginal faux-doc horror picture that actually works like a demonic charm. The Visit centers on two kids — 15-year-old Becca (Olivia DeJonge), a fledgling filmmaker, and 8-year-old Tyler (Ed Oxenbould), a fledgling rapper and full-fledged smartass — who travel to their grandparents’ rural Pennsylvania farm. From the outset, the Shyamster’s themes make your nostrils twitch with the scent of significance.
