Como's back. back again
I took time and read some scripts on that free screenplay site. And i found one that i liked. Can i take one and make a movie out of it? Or do i have to contact the guy? Cause i wrote him an email asking for permission.
I read the whole thing and i liked it, so i started from scratch, and wrote it again (in MY words) in CeltX. So some text is the same, but most is all different, by word structure, and the the locations and what not. Here is the first half:

Code:
INT. BASEMENT- NIGHT
MITCH sits on a long futon in the dark, basement. He stares
out with full concentration on his. We now see blood smeared
on his white shirt.
CUT TO:
EXT. PARK- DAY
MITCH sits on a park bench, drinking a coffee. He stares
out, and we see he is stalking a pretty, teenage girl.
CUT BACK TO:
INT. BASEMENT- NIGHT
We see the concentrated, stiff look again on MITCHS face,
like he just committed a crime.
ONE MONTH LATER
EXT. SCHOOL- DAY
MITCH is at the school, throwing a tennis back over and over
again at the Schools brick wall. His face is sweaty.
INT. HOUSE- DAY
We hear the microwave, with popping noises in side. The door
bell RINGS. We see the door open, and there stands NIKITA.
MITCH’S girlfriend.
NIKITA
(Smiling)
Hey Stranger!
MITCH
(Smiling)
Hey you, come on in.
As NIKITA enters, they kiss.
2.
INT: DAY: BASEMENT
MITCH comes rushing down the stairs, with a drink in his
hand, and a bowl full of popcorn.
MITCH
So how was work?
He rests the popcorn bowl along with the drink on the table
that is in front of them.
NIKITA
Meh, work was work. Tiring.
MITCH
I see, so what movie do we have for
tonight?
NIKITA
Um, it’s called Young Dogs for
Life. Some random at the video
store mentioned it as I was in the
Drama section. He said it’s suppose
to be good.
MITCH
Is that so eh.
MITCH glances at the newspaper that is on the table. He
notices the headline:
THE WATCHER
MITCH
So what did the paper say about The
Watcher?
NIKITA
(Reaching for popcorn)
Oh, it said that they don’t think
that The Watcher killed that girl
last month.
MITCH
Really?
He looks astonished.
MITCH
Is that all they said?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 3.
NIKITA
Yep. Man, I really hope they catch
that asshole.
MITCH
Ya, I hope they catch The Watcher
to.
NIKITA
Yea, and that other sick prick who
killed that girl last month.
MITCH
Why him?
NIKITA
Huh?
MITCH
Y-yeah, me to. I hope they mess him
up bad.
NIKITA
I totally agree.
MITCH looks down, and worried.
EXT.PARK- DAY
MITCH is sitting in the same spot, staring at the same girl.
This time he has a notebook in his hands, and he is
sketching her out. Out of no where, his friend PAUL sits
beside him.
PAUL
(Getting down to sit)
Hey brother.
MITCH gets scared and flinches.
MITCH
Holy shi*! What are you doing here?
PAUL
Oh I always come here, well not
usually at this time of the day,
but I come here...a lot.
MITCH
Oh, I didn’t know you did this kind
of stuff.
