    There’s a spiritual successor to Hackers that I’d like to see, and here’s the way you generate the script for it:

    It’s a parody of a heist film. It has to be built like a comedy because the protagonists are going to be employees of a penetration testing company who are hired to do a physical security exercise on a big bank or a tech firm or something. There’s no stakes because if they get caught they’re just going to say “Yeah you caught me, here’s my letter, call this manager and we’ll go from there” so it’s got to be kind of farcical. To fill out the details of the script, get Deviant Ollam and Jayson Street together over whiskey and hire a stenographer to take notes.
