I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

🚨More Secrets of the Screentrade!🚨
To write an ”undeniable” screenplay use an “undeniable” title.
Eg, my new screenplay is called Pulp Fiction.
But, maybe you’d prefer: Alien, Avatar, Jaws, The Odyssey, Barbie, Inside Out, Crazy Rich Asians.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
