It’s taken about 6 weeks, but finally a first draft of the script is complete. It’s currently coming in at a whopping 81 pages which is a fair bit longer than I’d expected. If one is to believe the theory that one page equates to one minute of screen time, then we’re running 21 minutes over the expected running time of 60 minutes.
Stead and I will be getting together at the weekend for a read through to get an idea of how it’s actually clocking in and whether it’s all hanging together ok. Then we’ll be starting a ruthless editorial process during which the majority of the script will undoubtedly be rewritten and Stead and I will attempt to kill each other over ‘creative differences’*
*for ‘creative’ read ‘ego’ and for ‘differences’ read ‘mania’.
