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

PDFscreenplays is kicking some serious script booty with two oft requested scripts - Iron Man and Speed Racer. Please note, however, this isn’t the Iron Man script as filmed. This is an early draft by Gough and Millar not by Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (who penned the script of Iron Man you see in theatres. These and more can be found on the Movie Scripts page.

Thanks also to JBM for his part in these.

Thanks Sam for the typo heads up. I know spel so gud.

Yes, the Discussion Board is temporarily down. I’ll let you know when it is back up. - Don

Meet my new friend - PDFscreenplays.net who has rocketed onto the script scene with several new scripts including Master and Commander, The Mist, 3:10 to Yuma and two drafts of Jumper. Links to those scripts can be found over on the Movie Scripts page.

Do take a moment to check out PDFscreenplays.net. In addition to a ton of Movie Scripts, there are also sections of the site covering treatments, TV Shows, Unproduced scripts as well as Comic Book Scripts.

Speaking of new friends, do also check out The Comic Book Script Archive which has an amazing collection of comic book scripts. This is a script genre that I am completely unfamiliar with, but I look forward to taking a deeper look into the site. - Don

Yes, SimplyScripts is all about the script and the writing of the script and not so much about the selling and the producing of the script. So, why am I putting you onto a script sales report? Well, three reasons. This is factual information about who sold what to the studios, so you have an idea of what the studios are buying delivered in a truly engaging format. ScriptGirl ends her report with “Remember, you can’t sell it, if you don’t write it”. And lastly, Script Girl is one hot tomato.

Below is the April 18th, 2008 report on scripts sales. Check out ScriptGirl.net to get the latest.

As Script Girl sez, “remember, you can’t sell it, if you don’t write it”. - Don

Thanks to JBM for the heads up on a couple of new additions to Daily Script. Thanks to Donovan you can read Peter Dowlings first revised draft of Flightplan. Thanks to Adam read Adam Bonfanti’s unspecified draft of Last Time Forever, a neo-noir thriller about a small-time divorce lawyer who gets involved with an alluring married woman, and together they draw her rich husband into a blackmail scheme involving another woman and a sleazy private investigator. Confused? Watch the trailer.

These would be found on the Movie Scripts page

Hi All,

Apologies for the lack of updates. With the day job, illness, children illness I’ve fallen quite behind in updating the site. I have a few things for you. Over on the Unproduced Scripts page there are twenty five original scripts up for your reading pleasure. Cindy’s Halloween Games has been drastically revised and is worth a re-read. Phil has updated Dreams in Dust and Marble. Also, Mike has his gothic short Becoming up (new script to the site). Head over to the unproduced scripts page and give them (or one of the 22 others) a read.

Thanks to Vern for the heads up on on FOUR Omen scripts from The Omen Chronicles. There is the 1975 draft of The Omen as well as Damien: Omen II, The Final Conflict and Omen IV: Armageddon. Please be a good citizen of the net (ok, I’ll say it, Netizen) and right click and “save as” to down load the scripts once you get to The Omen Chronicles. This helps to lower bandwidth and ensures that the site doesn’t crash due to server load. - 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.
