Kubo … And The Two Strings - January 5, 2016 unspecified draft script by Marc Haimes & Chris Butler (Story by Shannon Tindle & Marc Haimes) - hosted by: Focus Features - in pdf format
Kubo lives a quiet, normal life in a small shoreside village until a spirit from the past turns his life upside down by re-igniting an age-old vendetta. This causes all sorts of havoc as gods and monsters chase Kubo who, in order to survive, must locate a magical suit of armor once worn by his late father, a legendary Samurai warrior.
Nocturnal Animals - September 23, 2015 unspecified draft script by Tom Ford (Based upon the novel "Tony and Susan" By Austin Wright) - hosted by: Focus Features - in pdf format
A "story inside a story," in which the first part follows a woman named Susan who receives a book manuscript from her ex-husband, a man whom she left 20 years earlier, asking for her opinion. The second element follows the actual manuscript, called "Nocturnal Animals," which revolves around a man whose family vacation turns violent and deadly. It also continues to follow the story of Susan, who finds herself recalling her first marriage and confronting some dark truths about herself.
A Monster Calls - September 25, 2015 unspecified draft script by Patrick Ness (Based on the novel "A Monster Calls" by Patrick Ness, Inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd) - hosted by: Focus Features - in pdf format
The monster does not come walking often. This time it comes to Connor, and it asks for the one thing Connor cannot bring himself to do. Tell the truth. This is a very touching story about a boy who feels very damaged, guilty and mostly angry. He struggles at school with bullies, and pity looks from everyone, and at home with his mother's sickness. Will Connor overcome his problems? Will everything be okay? Will Connor be able to speak the truth?
I've seen "Kubo and The Two Strings", and saw "A Monster Calls" three months early at the London Film Festival. They're both very interesting movies...
