Top Ten Things I’d Like Not To See In Scripts

by David Kohner Zuckerman

Here are some things I hope to never see in scripts again:

1) Characters named Slade, Jake, or Cassidy.

2) Spelling and grammar errors.

3) Page counts over 120.

4) Thick cover and back sheets.

5) Title pages with WGA registration info and/or copywrite info.

6) Brads that aren’t 1 1/4 inches.

7) Stories that involve a middle-eastern terrorist.

8) Scenes that belong in movies rated “X.”

9) Flashbacks seen by characters who never saw the flashbacks in “present” time.

10) Artwork on cover pages.
