Unveiling Garry Marshall’s Secret Screenwriting Tricks That Hollywood Won’t Tell You
“There are three different drafts of a screenplay in the development process. The first screenplay is for the studio, when they say, ‘Okay, we like this.’
The second screenplay you write so the actors can read it, or so you can get an actor to do it. You change the screenplay so one part is better, so you can get a better actor.
Then the third screenplay is, ‘You can’t shoot this screenplay on this budget.’ You’ve got to rewrite the whole screenplay again, for the budget.
So, we have the studio screenplay, we have the actor’s screenplay, then we have the budget screenplay, and then, finally, we have the shooting screenplay, which is a whole other screenplay.”
