Welp, It is Saturday morning in the US. Many of you, I’m sure, have discovered that you ate too much on Thursday and spent too much on Friday. So, what do you do? This is the time to pull up a hot cup of coffee and pour your self one of thirty-five original scripts over on the Unproduced Scripts page. Maybe take a look at Pledge Trip, a comedy about three freshman in college on a road trip or perhaps something shorter like The Layoff, a very short comedy about breakup. – Don

The Black Friday script sale at Script Shack is over. – Don

Aliens attack earth by going back in time, small town plagued by drugs and gang wars, CTL+ALT+DEL, man travels with annoying man (no, it isn’t about me) and a cheerleader’s world turned upside down when she discovers she can read minds.

Stay for the credits.

Thanks to Mystery Man on Film for the heads up on another “For Your Consideration” script from Warner Bros – Gran Torino. This is another Clint Eastwood film about a Korean War veteran living in a changing world.

Gran Torino will have a limited US release on December 17th, to make it Oscar eligible, with full release coming January 16. Check out the script over on the Movie Scripts page. – Don

Update – JoBlo has the script. Seems WB can’t decide what to do. Read Gran Torino script (pdf).

Let me introduce to you Script Tease. Script Tease is a homage to B-Movies and features movie posters and script excerpts from films that almost certainly exist in an alternate universe. It is your home for Cinema’s Lost Classics. Season your popcorn with gunpowder, pour yourself a glass of high-octane fuel (or blood if you prefer), grab a seat, and look around. There are movie posters, script pages, trailers and more to satisfy your exploitation fix. – Don

Over on the Unproduced Scripts page there are twenty scripts up. Little bit of everything from Bryan’s short drama A Virgin State of Mindto Xavier’s short western Gunslinger and Scoob’s take on the Halloween franchise that explains how, maybe, it all got started.
