This time, GenreTainment speaks to the authors of Dan O'Bannon's Guide To Screenplay Structure: Inside Tips from the Writer of Alien, Total Recall, and Return of the Living Dead... PLUS a bonus interview with the stars of Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome! Co-authors Matt Lohr and Diane O'Bannon tell us about their book which reveals Dan O'Bannons Dynamic Structure method and was published posthumously.

They also analyze the new Total Recall and Prometheus films.
