Chariots of Fire screenplay - post author admin

Chariots of Fire – February 13, 1980 second draft script by Colin Welland – hosted by: UCLA Extension Writers’ Program – in pdf format

ritons Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell are both naturally gifted fast sprinters, but approach running and how it fits into their respective lives differently. The son of a Lithuanian Jew, Harold, who lives a somewhat privileged life as a student at Cambridge, uses being the fastest to overcome what he sees as the obstacles he faces in life as a Jew despite that privilege. In his words to paraphrase an old adage, he is often invited to the trough, but isn’t allowed to drink. His running prowess does earn him the respect of his classmates, especially his running teammates, and to some extent the school administration, if only he maintains what they consider proper gentlemanly decorum, which isn’t always the case in their minds. Born in China, the son of Christian missionaries, Eric, a Scot, is a devout member of the Church of Scotland who eventually wants to return to that missionary work. He sees running as a win-win in that the notoriety of being fast gives him an added outlet to spread the word of God, while he sees his speed as being a gift from God, and he wants to run to honor God and that gift. This view does not sit well with his sister, Jennie Liddell, who sees his running as only taking away time from his work to God. Harold and Eric’s lives do intersect in national races, but it is the one hundred meter track event at the 1924 Paris Olympics which the two men and their supporters most anticipate. Beyond the fact that Americans Charles Paddock and Jackson Scholz are favored in the event, the much anticipated head to head between Harold and Eric may be further shadowed by other issues, especially as it affects Eric’s Christian beliefs.

David Koepp’s Script Archive! - post author admin

Huge thanks to John for the heads up on David Koepp’s script archive. Like John August, Koepp has posted what apprears to be his entire library of his scripts to the internet. This is an invaluable resource for screen writers as he has posted multiple drafts of incredibly popular movies where you can see the evolution of the script as well as see the difference between a spec script and a shooting script.

I highly recommend checking out the early draft of Jurassic Park with his revision notes and compare to the final shooting draft.

There are a ton of scripts with multiple drafts including Mission Impossible, Carlito’s Way, Zathura, Stir of Echos, Death Becomes Her, and much, much more!
