Mamma Mia! script search update
You’ll know from a previous post that I was looking for the screenplay of Mamma Mia! My delightful sister-in-law sent me this link to a website as I’d been looking for the Mamma Mia! screenplay (yippee, she reads this website!) The Editing Room provides spoof scripts based upon films the writer may (or may not) [...]

Open question to all our readers – you! If you have a copy of the movie’s screenplay, could you please send it to: www.FILMandMOVIEmaking.com As the leading movie of the year, I’d like to read it, without seeing the film. You can send it here, our contact page. Many thanks in advance. Related PostsMamma Mia! [...]

Marley & Me, staring Owen Wilson and the special one, Jennifer Aniston, opens on Christmas Day 2008. That sets a dilemma. Do you really want to see a fantastic story set to film when the ending is where the Labrador dies? You’re going to cry and cry a lot. Thankfully you’re also going [...]

3 stars*** Written by Steve Martin (story) and Jeffrey Nachmanoff (screenplay) this slow moving, almost two hour movie, takes us on a ride from a terrorist’s view of making and delivering suicide bombs. With a twist of course and that’s given away by the title. I can’t help but wonder if they’d kept the twist [...]

28. October 2008
Your screenplay needs to stand out from the crowd; your formatting needs to blend in with one and all. The format must be the same that everyone else is using, not just in Hollywood, but all over the world. Why, you ask? Because anyone reading your screenplay – reader, producer, studio, agent – needs to [...]

3 stars*** Lewd, rude and crude. Is this film really a comedy and if so, what type of comedy? It doesn’t get you rolling in your seat and laughing out loud, but it does contain some cracking screenplay writing. It’s the story of a real jerk, hired by his friends to ensure his date with [...]

23. October 2008
Single out the right individual. Yes, I really mean this. How many times have I read a screenplay where the hero is not really the hero and another character takes over the lead role? Don’t confuse the viewer or reader. We all want to know who the hero is, early in the screenplay, very early [...]

21. October 2008
What type of movie do you want to go and see; a dull one or a great one? While the question may appear a little (or a lot) on the brainless side, it’s a standard more screenplay writers need to apply. Often they have a great idea, but really only fifty pages of real story. [...]

The Winner Takes It All One of our readers, Lisa of New Jersey, asked if we were going to see Mamma Mia! again. Yes, girl. We did. That’s four times. I know it’s not a world record, but it’s three times more than any other movie I’ve seen at a cinema theatre. Movie ticket sales [...]

9. October 2008
It’s not always easy to get your message across. This time I’ve tried something different. I hope you like it. If it is liked I’ll try some more messages this way. It does raise a question, however. Why should it be more interesting to look over a cartoon than read a block of text; oh [...]
