"Contemporizing the Classics: Poe, Shakespeare, Doyle" is a how-to
on the art and craft of transforming a classic into a feature-film
screenplay with a modern storyline.
The introduction probes an issue that weaves throughout: role of
artistic license in balancing fidelity to the original versus
dramatic needs of the script.
Contemporization of a classic being the most flagrant form of
dramatic license, the introduction presents three guidelines for a
considered exercise thereof.
Each part debuts a feature-film script that resets a classic
work(s) in the present.
Part One offers a contemporary visualization of Macbeth, in the
process turning an Elizabethan tragedy into a dramatic comedy.
Part Two applies the guidelines to several renowned works by
Edgar Allan Poe.
Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles" having
frequently screened as a period piece, Part Three gives the hound a
twenty-first century twist.
