You might be an aspiring screenwriter or filmmaker and want to see how the professionals and the current masters do it on the page. Or maybe you’re curious to see how the finished product differs from the original script or perhaps you just enjoy reading the work from your favorite directors and writers.
Either way you can now access, for free, the scripts for almost all of the major players in this years awards hunt and a whole selection of the screenplays from 2013’s bumper crop of cinematic goodness (including all 137 pages of “The Wolf of Wall Street“).
