Why? Why yet another post about So Dark? I promise, this will be my last word on the matter for a while. Al Lougher, the director of So Pretty and So Dark was kind enough to let me post the final draft of So Dark on SimplyScripts. So, I’ve put together a little package of the scripts to the two movies as well as embeds of the movies themselves. You can read the script and compare and contrast.

Also, this will be my final post and final plea for you to go to The IndieGoGo fund raising site for So Dark because I have a draft what may or may not be the next in a series of two films already made.

And, I am shit at keeping secrets. All I can say is that the script was written using courior font, is properly formatted and I would very much like to see this get made.

That’s it. I’ve read it and I liked it. I won’t even tell you the title of the draft because I don’t want anyone to get into trouble for leaking it to me. I can tell you that there is a good mixture of consonants and vowels in the title. See? I’ve already said too much.

So. Read the scripts. Watch the first two shorts. Slip a fiver out of the Fat Kid’s piggy bank and help the next film get made.
