Over on the Movie Scripts page we have two different – very different – movie scripts. First up, Daniel “Heathers” Water’s directorial debut, Happy Campers. This is a third draft and comes to us via Daily Script and Donovan. Second up is a December, 2005 unspecified draft of the recently release Wanted. This would be thanks to Josh and PDF Movie Scripts where you’ll find the scripts several other recently released movies. – Don

There are 44 new or revised unproduced works up on the Unproduced Scripts page. Also, I neglected to point out a couple weeks ago an additional 30 new works up which can be found on the Previous Weeks Unproduced Scripts page.

On the Unproduced Scripts page we have Frank’s Sho Jin Bloo Warrior – “A warrior’s odyssey through prehistory Japan”, which is a series of twelve, five minute animated shorts.

On the Previous Weeks Unproduced Scripts page we have another episode of season 2 of Wesley’s Better Days series. In this episode Kenny has gone back to Therapy. Jason starts hanging out with an unlikely friend while Danielle and Holly get closer.

That not enough to hold you? There is a grand total of 70 unproduced scripts between the two pages that I’m sure you’ll find something of interest.

Tick, Tock – There are a little over 48 hours left to get your script in for the One Week Challenge. Just knock out a 15 page or less dramatic script on the theme “The guys at the post office are never gonna believe this” and send it in by 11:58 pm edt on Friday, July 25th. – Don

The July, 2008 One Week Challenge

Quick rundown of the rules:

You have to write a script based on the genre and theme of the OWC. The script must be in a generally accepted screenplay format.

The script should be no more than fifteen pages. You have seven days (count the hours) to submit it to the One Week Challenge link. All scripts must be submitted by 11:58 pm eastern daylight time on July 25th. This link will help you determine what time it is eastern daylight time.
The authors’ name will be removed from the scripts for the first week (or so), and then will magically appear on them…as if by magic. Don’t say if you’ve entered.

Don’t start guessing who wrote what for at least a week.

No betting! This is a Challenge, not a contest. There are no winners (though, if you take the challenge, you are, in effect, a winner).

Don’t enter unless you intend to read some of these scripts.

And now for the theme and genre:

genre: drama

theme: “The guys at the post office are never gonna believe this.”

The quote should be in the script and it should bear significance to the story. Don’t just toss it in there.
