“Unveiling the Truth: Is Your Script’s Page Count the Secret to Hollywood’s Heart—or Just a Myth?”
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.
