• What type of screenplays do you sell? We only sell screenplays that have been produced and released as a movie. We do not sell scripts in development or scripts that are un-produced. Check New Screenplay Arrivals (top of page) for new movies just released. The scripts are all photocopies of the original draft we stock. All screenplays we sell are for educational purposes only.

• How are the screenplays bound? Every screenplay we sell is bound just like a normal script. They are copied on plain white paper (8.5 x 11), bound with two brads. We do not use colored sheet covers or colored paper. They are delivered in a plastic slipcover for protection.

• What drafts do you sell? It varies. Older screenplays (pre1970) are sometimes converted from the actual movie (continuity script) or the title page will only display the title, with no actual draft date. More recent scripts could be a writer's draft, third draft+, or a shooting script. Every screenplay is different. We try to get the closest version to the movie. So sometimes there may be scenes that have changed / or have been deleted from the final movie. If the final draft is not available, we will try to get the third draft, second draft, and so on. The last resort is the shooting script.
  
  For draft information on a specific movie script email us or call us at: (818) 761-6087.

• What's the difference between a shooting draft and the final draft or third draft or writer's draft, etc? Shooting draft is the screenplay version that is used for and while shooting. After the final draft is written with all changes made final, it becomes a locked script. Scene numbers are then added/deleted to distinguished between changes. Any changes made after the script has been locked become partial scene numbers, 89A, B, OMIT SCENES 100-103, etc. Changes in dialogue/narration appear with an * on the line. Pages with changes are colored coded. All changes are documented. Shooting scripts contain camera angles and directing terms.
  
  After a script is bought and before it is locked, the writer may be asked to make many changes. These drafts become 1st, 2nd, 3rd drafts, etc., and sometimes contain major changes in narration and character. A writer's draft is considered the draft that was sold prior to any changes by the buyer or other early drafts by the writer. A writer's draft is not usually marked "writer's draft" but just date stamped.

• Why do you sell earlier/different drafts that are not exactly as the released movie? Since our customers are mainly writers, it is advantageous for writers to read what the screenwriter originally wrote, what was changed, and figure out why. And to see if it worked better.

• Some screenplay you list say Continuity next to the title. What is a Continuity Script? A continuity script is a verbal and visual description from the released movie. It is formatted in two columns: Technical action and dialogue. It is not in original screenplay format and therefore difficult to read. We sell these scripts because with very old titles it is difficult to obtain an originally formatted screenplay and is the only one available.

• How do I know if the screenplay title you list is from the same movie I'm looking for? Since some movies have the same title of another/older movie, or are a remake, we have the year of the screenplay stamped next to most of these questionable titles.

• Can I get the screenplay exactly like the released movie? Sorry, we cannot guarantee that the screenplay is exactly like the movie. Sometimes early drafts are quite different from the released movie. Use these early drafts for screenwriting study purposes. Your best bet for getting closest to the movie is a shooting draft. Unfortunately, shooting drafts contain non-writing direction, scene numbers, and camera angles.

• I want a certain draft, How do I know if you have it? Email us for the draft date and screenwriter's name. Please allow up to 24 hours for us to reply or call us at: (818) 761-6087 or email us for the draft date and author name. Allow 2 business days for reply.

• What if I can't find the script that I want? If it is a new movie we may not have it yet or we may not get it in stock. Please check New Screenplay Arrivals (top of page) periodically. If it is an older script (pre-90s) and it is not in our database we do not carry it and most likely will not carry it in the future.
