A thread for talking about, sharing, and reviewing screenplays. Haven't read one before? Give it a try! It might give a second life to a film you love. It's an art in itself and brisker than a novel.

Feb 8·1 replyIn I read a lot of screenplays. Black list is a good place to read upcoming movies that haven’t been picked up yet. It’s where “Air” originally started before Affleck & Damon got ahold of it
They also have a Kanye biopic about the creation of College Dropout in there but it’s kinda corny lol

I put a whole Google Drive of them in the OP. Gonna read Galahad from 2008 next. It's the screenplay that George RR Martin read to put Condal in charge of House of the Dragon.

Interesting because I feel like a lot of horror stuff is launched by visual gimmicks and shorts

Finished Galahad by Ryan Condal. What a hefty script! S*** is close to 30k words.
I think my favorite part is the stretch where a fugitive is loose in the walls of the castle. Camelot is filled with secret passages and the like. They try to flush him out by burning part of it and releasing wild animals into it. Really stupid, amazing idea.
The ending is perfect. A perfect ending. Phenomenal voice over and montage. I wish I liked House of the Dragon more. I can see why George RR Martin liked this guy. He really kills his darlings on a whim. Nothing sacred about Camelot in this one.

Easily the best resource for finding screenplays that I use. If it leaked they have it. Plus they usually have multiple drafts of scripts, unproduced scripts, every black list script etc. There’s been alotta times I haven’t been able to find a screenplay on google/Reddit but they’ll have it there.
