Shout outs to Unknown Screenwriter and the “one page” thing and 52 Screenplays who continues to read and review a screenplay a week. This week’s installment Big Fish

Today I cleaned up the TV Scripts and Transcripts database. I got a bunch of broken links relinked. Couple of new transcript sites on the ‘net – TV Transcripts DB has some varied shows up, including Weeds which I’ve yet to see on the ‘net. Also, Dr. Who 2005+ Transcripts has, as the name implies, transcripts to seasons 9 and 10 of Dr. Who.

I remain painfully behind in getting Unproduced Scripts up.

New Lost script up thanks to pressEXECUTE.com – Lost episode 212 ‘Fire and Water’. Just a Guy in Hollywood has tossed up a random selection of TV scripts from hit shows such as Medium, Grey’s Anatomy and Melrose Place. You can always expect something very, very different and edgy from Subterranean Cinema and this month he has transcripts from the seminal reality show An American Family where you can watch on screen, the disintegration of a marriage. Lastly, Screentalk has the pilot teleplay for X-File. Yes! All this and more can be yours to read on the TV Scripts and Transcripts page! – Don

Before I begin, just a quick word to all the up and coming scripts sites out there. Folks, I’ve gotten quite a few e-mails from scripts sites lamenting the fact that a lot of sites out there are deep linking to scripts, passing them off as their own, without giving props to the folks who took the time to get the scripts online. This is counter-productive. Please, give props to the script sites that post scripts on their site. You will be rewarded ten fold. Too many script sites stop posting scripts because nobody acknowledges the work they do or simply leach the script away to another site. Be like ScriptCrawler. He shows you where the scripts are and who took the time to get the script on the ‘net. Also, marvel at ScriptCrawler’s new look. Shiny.

So, on to the scripts. See the pilot? Yep, a ton of pilot scripts on the ‘net. Just another Guy in Hollywood has four pilots up – Supernatural, Arrested Development, The Five Mrs. Buchanens: Pilot and Dark Shadows. He’s also got a few more teleplays up, too numerous to mention. Those and other ‘pilots’ available on the TV Scripts page.

On the Movie Scripts front, Thanks to “pisant” for the heads up on this script to Godfather part 3 thanks to Screentalk. And, thanks to Vern (God love ’em) and Awesome Film we have a compare and contrast opportunity. Compare and contrast the first draft of Last Action Hero by Zak Penn and Adam Leff with the draft revised by Shane Black and David Arnott and doctored by William Goldman. You may begin your seven page essay on the movie scripts page. – Don
