Meanwhile, a New York Times critic who Riggan has to woo threatens to shut down production of the play before it even starts with a scathing review of the opening night …

Shout out to Tommy Draper who was recently interviewed by Neil Oseman about his recent projects (recent as of 2012). One of those recent projects was Pro Kopf where he was the screenwriter.

Tommy has been a member of the discussion board for over ten years and sometimes I lose track of successes. Check out Tommy’s Facebook page and his web site.

Mr. Turner – undated, unspecified draft script by Mike Leigh – hosted by: Sony Classics – in pdf format

Mr. Turner explores the last quarter century of the great if eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). Profoundly affected by the death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies. Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.
