Episode 184 Unproduced Screenplay Series- John Carpenter’s (almost) Shadow Company

Welcome to a new sub-series of the podcast devoted to screenplays
for movies that never got made. There are tons of famous
screenplays from Oliver Stone’s first draft of Conan to Del
Toro’s At the Mountains of Madness. For each episode in this
series, we will read and review a script that never got made.


In this episode, I am joined by author Anthony Trevino and
Musician/Filmmaker Issa Diao to discuss The Unproduced Shadow
Company by Shane Black and Fred Dekker which was supposed to be
John Carpenter’s follow-up to They Live in 1988. This cult
classic script that was cross between Platoon and Night of the
Living Dead is something of a legend. We break it down.
