How Long Should a Screenplay Be?

I guess we should get into the specifics.

It’s fairly simple—for features, 90 to 115 pages is the sweet spot.

  • Fewer is too few.
  • A few more is too much.
  • Fewer means you have room to add more characterization or more cinematic magic.
  • A few more means you can cut the fat from your script just a bit more and make it a lean cinematic meal.

Don’t fall into the trap of trying to reason your overly-long (or short) page length while comparing it to highly successful scripts of the past.
