A horny bartender with a past and a shotgun, an ex-surfer superdad with a hero complex, a gang of bad fish jokes and B movies actors, one Mexican hurricane, three tornadoes, and a thousand hungry, deadly, very resourceful sharks! What are the Rules of Shark in this universe? How does a "conceit" enable the suspension of disbelief? How does Sharknado blend the Monster, Disaster, Action, and Road Drama genres so successfully? And witness the best Blake Snyder 3rd Act "Storming the Castle" we've seen all summer-- coming from a TV movie!

This week on The Script - Beat Sheet Edition, script doctors David Negrin and Chris Durham compare "White House Down" and "Olympus Has Fallen" beat for beat - Directed by Roland Emmerich and Antoine Fuqua, Screenplays by James Vanderbilt and Creighton Rothenberger & Katrin Benedikt. Two films, same premise, which executes it better? Is Agent StepUP's A-Story confused? Does Agent Leonidas cross into unheroic torture territory? Why White House Down is more "The Rock" and Olympus Has Fallen is more "Die Hard", and does destroying the Capitol Buildling or the Washington Monument pull more patriotic heartstrings? Read David & Chris' Combined Beat Sheet Breakdown for both films on our website.You can send fan mail, hate mail, comments, questions, proclamations to ScriptFeed@gmail.com. [Spoilers]
