Why do you never see scripts of films sold as books in the same way you do with plays, both classical and modern?Are there any movies that you'd buy and read the script to?
>>24987473You see some but they're generally not dense enough to justify reading over seeing the movie they were meant to construct.
>>24987473Some scripts do get sold, it really depends on who owns the rights to the scripts, which is usually the production company.>picrelPersonally, I own the Firefly/Serenity script books. Firefly: A Celebration (Anniversary Edition) & Serenity Official Visual Companion.
If plays were as accessible back then as movies are today sales would have been very meager.
Plays were accessible, it's just that nobody cared to see them. And sales WERE very meager. Shakespeare's biggest competition was bear-baiting. That's like MGM having meetings about how to lure spectators away from the cockfight crowd. What a disgrace.
