Another draft of The Mist, another draft of 3:10 to Yuma and the filmed version of I am Legend – all these from PDFscreenplays.net.

Thanks to Donovan and Daily Script there is David Webb People’s forth draft of Hero. Notice the end of the script where there is an audience of Monkeys. Yes, David Webb People’s of 12 Monkeys fame which came out after Hero.

Thanks to The Weekly Script read The Roughshod. Those and more are on the Movie Scripts page.

Lastly, scripts sales for the weekend ending May 16th from ScriptGirl. She’s funny and hot and everything I’m not. – Don

Hi Gang!

Well, after a lot of time, the discussion board is back up. Please note the new url:

http://www.simplyscripts.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl.

If you were wondering what the heck happened. I still do not know. For some reason on the script just stopped running on the dot net server. After hours on with tech support and a lot of research into pathing and what not, I’m still no closer to finding out what happened.

Apologies for the delay. It took forever to download the old board and upload it to the new location and then figure out all the message and image pathing changes.

if you find any broken images on the discussion board, let me know. Also, if you have any internal links on the discussion board to your script threads, you will have to change them from simplyscripts.net to simplyscripts.com. – Don

…Day job’s a hassle and the kids have the flu.

I’m a week and a half behind in updates. Hope to spend the weekend getting my chakra aligned and my karma balanced so I can get a week and a half worth of updates out into the internets.

In the mean time, you have to watch “The Guild”.

Cyd Sherman’s online gaming addiction brings more than she bargains for…

Written in haste. – Don

P.S., Yes, I know it isn’t a script.

The Discussion Board is back up, however all postings since late March 22nd have been lost – about 12 days worth of postings. I will be reposting the script threads since the 22nd as quickly as I can. Also, anyone who registered since the 22nd will have to re-register.

Apologies

Writers revealed. Head over to the One Week Challenge page and see who wrote what. You can also check out and comment on who wrote what scripts on the Discussion Board.

Next week, I’ll shoot over to iScript.com three scripts of which they will choose one to be audio performed.

Additionally, one participant in the OWC will be selected to have a feature length script they have written covered by the excellent Sandy Gunter of Whiskey Loose Tongue. Sandy has read for several major studios like Imagine, Buena Vista, New Line and Fox. In addition, he is a past reader for the Nicholl Fellowship and IFP.

Lastly, I’ve run the Musicals database through the link checker and updated the links, so past broken links should work. – Don

The site has been down most of the day. In fact, any site hosted by Globat.com has been down for most of the day. If your site is hosted by Globat, it should be up soon.

Tick, tock. The submission deadline for the One Week Challenge is fast approaching. I’ve already had a goodly number of submissions and in a couple of cases received scripts about ten hours after the topic was announced. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out this post about the challenge.

Also, an apology to the newsletter subscribers. On Friday night last I kicked off the newsletter about the challenge to the subscriber base thinking that they’d all be in your inbox by Saturday night at the latest. I forgot, however that I had to set the mail server to send out 150 at a time rather than 750 at a time (this so my webhosting provider doesn’t think I’m sending out spam). The result was that some of you didn’t receive the notification about the challenge until as late as yesterday. For this I apologize and will get the notification out to newsletter subscribers earlier.

By the way, iScript.com, this month’s sponsor of the One Week Challenge, is now offering iScript Previews of your script for only $9.99. And, better yet, if you like the preview and want to have the full script audio performed, the cost of the iScript Preview is credited to your next full iScript order. Click here to check it out. (tell ‘em SimplyScripts sent you). – Don

Thanks to Jack for the heads up (actually, he sent me some stuff last week, but I can’t find it). More info on the end of the strike at Deadline Hollywood and, of course my favorite insider John August.com. – Don

If you live in the Northern Virginia area, swing on by JV’s on Saturday, February 16th from 5:00 to 8:00 pm to listen to the Rice Brother Band bring you some country favorites. Great Fiddle player. Come in early for some dinner and enjoy the show.. no cover. Kids welcome. I’ll be the dorky looking guy with no rhythm sitting next to a short Chinese woman surrounded by two hyper-active little boys. – Don

Welcome Guardian readers. And if you are not a Guardian reader, check out the excellent article by Stuart McGurk about Script Collecting.

Speaking of which, there are three more scripts on the ‘net. Thanks to Vern for the heads up on this draft of Roger Waters Pink Floyd The Wall brought to you by A Fleeting Glimpse the most amazing Pink Floyd website on the ‘net. Note, the script is a huge 20 MB PDF file, so downloading patience is required.

Thanks to Donovan and Daily Script we have yet another draft of Cliffhanger. This is the final shooting draft with revisions by Sly Stallone. In total, thanks to Donovan, there are three drafts of Cliffhanger to compare and contrast over on the Movie Scripts page.

And lastly, again thanks to Donovan, there is a September 12, 1996 draft of Conspiracy Theory. Those and more on the Movie Scripts page.

Now, for those who read the Spoil Sport article and were confused by my “Stepmom was one of those…” comment. The question, as I recall, was something to the effect of have you decided not to see a movie you wanted to see based upon reading the script. My answer was to the contrary to the effect that if I was intrigued by an upcoming movie, reading the script would not change my mind about seeing a movie. On the other hand, there have been cases where I was not interested in seeing a particular movie, though I later changed my mind after reading the script and later decided to go see the movie. Step Mom was one of those cases where, based upon the trailer and the buzz, I had absolutely no interest in seeing the movie. However, after reading the script, I was intrigued enough to go see the movie. – Don
