PBTA at a basic level could work for almost any genre, but playbooks only work in a genre with codified roles and a group dynamic. So, not every movie could be playbookified because most movies don’t follow that formula.
But which movies would suit a playbook set-up? I’ll start.
LA Confidential The Thug, The Celebrity, The Golden Boy, The Civilian.
Bridesmaids The Bride, The Old Friend, The Genial Weirdo, The Interloper
Ghostbusters The Face, The Heart, The Brain, The Workman, The Secretary
Firefly The Captain, The Pilot, The Badass, The Mechanic, The Right Hand, The Conscience, The Doctor, The Experiment
Aliens The Survivor, The Company Man, The Fool, The Leader, The Synthetic, The Kid, The Ultimate Badass, The Rookie
Your turn.
Rogue One: The Child Soldier, The Spy, The Reprogrammed, The Mystic, The Gunlugger, The Traitor, The Revolutionary, The Diplomat.
Rogue One: The Child Soldier, The Spy, The Reprogrammed, The Mystic, The Gunlugger, The Traitor, The Revolutionary, The Diplomat.
