don't really get it

its for educational purposes so people can see what a selling script is suppose to look like, and this one in particular is well written

bad example. You will never, repeat NEVER sell a script that is over 120 pages. You can't use a QT as an example, dude could write a script about a monkey using his fingertip covered in his own shyt and it would sell.

As someone who reads and poorly writes a bunch of screenplays, you'd have to pay me to read a 170 page script. it's torture, even if it's good.

You sell scripts same way, you sell cars, houses, or anything else. it's called salesmanship, you have to personable with the buyer, you have to close them.
It goes with anything. I was just a pitch fest and made up 3 movies off the top of the dome, got 5 producers interested now I just have to write the motherfukkers

What you say use to be true about 120, but most scripts nowadays exceed that except for comedies which around 100 pages

you realize 1 page is meant to represent 1 minute of screen time right.
I can't remember the last movie I seen that ended exactly at the 2 hour mark.

Wasn't Lord of the Rings around 173 pages, it was written nowhere near as crisp as this.

I'm talking about the format, the structure, the way it is written. It's exactly the way a script is suppose to be to keep it from getting thrown in the gutter.

no matter how good a salesman you are, no one wants a nobody's 150 page script, they dont want it.

a new guy without a "name" for himself has to keep it within 120 pages, perfectly written in script format, free of errors, etc. some even want it within 100 pages. plus they only read the first 10 pages of the script. If you don't "hook" them with the first ten pages then its in the dumpster :manny: 170 is a no no for a new writer on the scene
