Jack Thorne (writer / playwright / Lord Of The Flies / His Dark Materials) • #330
Four-Fifths of *The Jungle Book*
- Jack Thorne's first remembered film was The Jungle Book, but only four-fifths of it.
- He hid during Baloo's apparent death, too upset to continue, showcasing his childhood sensitivity.
Films That Scared
- They Shoot Horses, Don't They? deeply affected Thorne, particularly the brutal dance marathon scene.
- Sideways scared him by mirroring his own loneliness in Luton, fearing a similar unhappy future.
Tearjerker Films
- The Sun's Room resonated with Thorne as the best portrayal of grief.
- An ER episode, "Love's Labor's Lost", also deeply moved him with Dr. Green's heroic yet ultimately tragic efforts.









































LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!
Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the fascinating and awesome writer, playwright and producer JACK THORNE!
Jack is one of the most busy behind-the-scenes folks in the business, having worked on or generated so many of the great projects out there in the wide world. He's also someone who you don't always hear from, so this is a rare treat to get inside the mind of someone who doesn't often chat openly about all things writing and production... Hear about all things including intimidating projects, a non wifi work ethic, the chasm of despair, setting the tone, sad times in Luton, Barry Norman, autism and the TV Access Project, the Whoopi defence and depressing things on Channel 4! So much. ENJOY!
