If you want to be a great screenwriter, one of the quickest routes is to READ lots of great scripts. As Jim Meyers and I discussed on the recent HER MINOR THING podcast, it’s even better if you can read unproduced screenplays (GOOD unproduced screenplays … not drek). So, here’s a list of screenplay sites to help you in your quest!
- All Movie Scripts
- The Daily Script
- JoBlo’s Movie Scripts
- Horror Scripts
- The Movie Page
- Science Fiction/Fantasy Scripts
- Simply Scripts
- Leon’s Scripts
Some of my most treasured scripts include an unproduced Joe Eszterhas script and a very early draft of Melissa Matheson’s KUNDUN. I love the unproduced screenplay because I can picture it in my head with interference from the existing film. I love the early KUNDUN because I can compare it with the final and see how they altered the original concept for the film.
