The 2003 Script
The 2004 script
The Big Script
The Shooting Script

This fascinates me because, for reasons even I don't understand, I'd like nothing more than to have a transcript of the dialogue that is actually in the finished film.

Jack, I'm guessing I know what you refer to as "the 2003 script" (the one with scenes by James Schamus, including the one of Ennis and Cassie at the drive-in and part of the screen blows away?  ;D )?

But what are "the 2004 script," "the Big Script," and "the Shooting Script," and how do any of them compare to the screenplay in Story to Screenplay?

I'll happily send 'em to anybody, but you need to send an actual email address, they're too big for BM. Rodney FL gave them to me. He would not mind them being passed on but let's give credit where credit is due!

We got the best of the scripts by far in the finished product---you should see the one where Schamus made Jack Twist a RODEO HUSTLER, as in a 19 year old male ho busy selling his ass to old farts with money who were turned on by the  cowboys at regional rodeo competitions....

Yeah I'm serious roflmao

That's why they shot his hippy scene, all the while knowing it wasn't going to be in the film: they were placating him. I don't know that he ended up with a single word in the final script; whatever he wrote, so far as i have ever heard, turned Brokeback into this Hollywood BS.

And Artiste wants a remake!!!!!

This is why I don't!!

lol

They're historically interesting, there IS some good writing--actually there is a lot of good writing--but Ang Lee definately shot the best possible script. When you see what he didn't shoot, you know he was determined to be as faithfull as possible to Annie's story

Insofar as i know all the info above is accurate, and if it's not let me know....

brokebackjack:
Oh yeah--Jeff, the scripts mentioned are all quite different. The Big Scriot is not just huge it is F'ING HUGE. That's why they call it the Big Script.

Like I said, anyody who wants them just PM me an email address. BM can't handle them, they are way too big

The big script is the one I have with the shooting revisions in it. Please take in mind when a studio is cutting a film they usually like it to be around that magic 120 min mark. This is because they can show it at least 2 times in an evening at a movie house so they can make more $.
