Excellent! Like you're watching the movie all over again.,
By April K. (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Hawk Down: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
It's a great book. Everything is in exact detail as the movie. As I read, I picture the scene in the movie and I feel like I'm watching the movie all over again. It was written word for word, scene by scene. It even includes still photos and a full cast description of each character. It was everything I thought it would be. It was definitely worth the wait since ordering this book before it was even published.

Great movie, but what sort of example is this for a budding screenwriter?,
By Fry Boy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Black Hawk Down: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
If you look at the first excerpt page, T.S. Eliot's last name is misspelled. Hollywood supposedly demands that every spec script be free of misspelled words and bad grammar, yet I've seen shooting scripts with "He could care less" instead of "He couldn't care less" (not dialogue, mind you) and frequent misspellings. Much like the literary agent industry, professionalism is demanded (agent name, book proposal, nice paper, SASE), but often not reciprocated (e.g., they'll send you a photocopied form letter [Dear Author . . .]).What we need to see are published versions of original speculation scripts. Shane Black's first release of "Lethal Weapon" would be more beneficial a read than these shooting scripts. Sorry, got off on a rant. It's not that these shooting scripts aren't worth reading for new screenwriters, but there's a market out there for actual spec script versions. If your spec has as many SUPERs in it as this shooting script, Hollywood might throw your stuff in the bin . . . unless you're established, of course. |
