Thanks to Dennis for the heads up on the Weekly Scripts latest – Light Sleeper. And thanks to the mysterious M for the heads up on this transcript of the 1931 The Last Flight. Get more info on both of them on the Movie Scripts and Transcripts page.

He’s not Just a guy in Hollywood, he is everyone’s new friend. Next up, JAGIH brings us the first place winner from the 2001 Slamdance Screenplay Competition – The Woodsman. The Woodsman is a bit of a buzz-kill inasmuch as it is about a child molester returning to society. The script was made into a film that release in 2004 starring Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick. Check it out on the Movie Scripts page.

There are three new scripts on the ‘net, thanks to Just a guy in Hollywood. There is Christpher Cleveland’s Doom (based on the id Software Game of the same name for those of you who have been in a coma for the past ten years…). There is James Gunn’s SliTHER and David Callaham’s Glory Road. So, slither your way over to the Movie Scripts page and check ’em out. Oh, and all of ’em are in pdf format.

Thanks to The Weekly Script we can read this 1985 shooting draft of Code of Silence. It was filmed starting Chuck Norris. So, head over to the Movie Scripts page and read it before Chuck Norris round-house kicks you.

Did you know: Chuck Norris owns the greatest poker face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 world series of poker despite him holding just a joker, a 2 of clubs, a 7 of spades, a green number 4 from Uno and a monopoly “get out of jail free” card.

This and other Chuck Norris trivia is available at Ducksh*t.com

On April 7, 2006, the Writers Guild of America, west (WGAw) and the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) announced the 101 Greatest Screenplays of all time. I’ve been able to find 76 of them on the ‘net for download. If there is only one draft on the ‘net, I’ve linked directly to the draft. If there are multiple drafts available, I’ve linked to the Simply Scripts Script Search results page. If there is no link for a script, then that means I couldn’t find a copy of the script on the ‘net. In this case, you might try a site like ScriptShack. Note also that the list only includes Screenplays. I am aware that there may be dialogue transcripts of some of these movies on the ‘net, however, I’ve chosen not to include them here. You can find most of the scripts on the WGA Greatest Screenplays page.

– Enjoy!

Thanks to Vern and Rob and Daily Script. Read this draft of Tina Fey’s script Mean Girls. There are Mean Girls on the Movie Scripts page.

And finally, the scripts are up for the one week writing exercise/challenge/thing. As you recall, the genre was comedy. The theme – “Why is everyone shooting at me?”. We had thirteen submissions. Twelve were by the prolific Roger Smith and one by the less prolific Kassius Play. Why don’t you go check them out?

So, what does the one week challenge/excercise thing have in common with the Neal Israel and Pat Proft penned script Bachelor Party?

Nothing.

Still, get your submission in for the one week challenge/excercise thing by Friday, midnight (in your time zone). Then, thanks to Dennis and The Weekly Script, you can hop over to the Movie Scripts page and read the 1984 shooting draft of Bachelor Party. Before you get your hopes up, this isn’t the 1957 film, The Bachelor Party written by Paddy Chayefsky. Bachelor Party starred Tom Hanks.

Hey, also got the Plays page cleaned up a bit. So, if you are feeling a little need for reading a classic or contemporary stage play, the plays section where you would go to find one.

Thanks to “Vern” and Horrorlair now on the ‘net is the early draft of the Christopher Columbus penned screenplay Gremlins. Gremlins was one of the defining movies of my youth particularly insomuch as this was one of the first movies starring Phoebe Cates in which she didn’t remove her top. Seriously, after the movie I walked out of the theatre feeling a little cheated. That was then and this is now. Now, I look back on that experience and think how seriously shallow I was. Then again. I still am. Anywho… That script can be read on the Movie Scripts page.

Thanks to Cindy (quite a prolific writer in her own right) for the heads up on the script Who’s Your Daddy courtesy of Coherent Visual. Coherent Visual also has an interview with one of the script writers which may be of interest to you. Hey, thanks to Stephen for the heads up on some great transcripts of King Arthur found over at Crescent-stars. These scripts (and transcripts) and more can be found on the Movie Scripts (and the occasional transcript) page.
