As I get notes from rep to make story better, more natural -- it just keeps adding pages. He said don't worry about that now.
At one point I turned in a nice 108 draft.
Currently with changes I'm at 125 pages. Some of it is because manager is like "where did that funny line go?" And I'm like I love it too, but what about also the goal to be 110 pages. Us writers always know the notes will lead to more pages even if they can't see it.
So just thought I'd mention how this happens a lot. I want my script to be 110 pages or shorter -- it's just not right now and because it has a lot of dialogue it doesn't read long (to me). I've read 93 page script that felt like 200 pages. So it can go both ways.
But still -- when we send it out -- it's gotta be closer to 110 than 125.
So I know I'm going to have to cut jokes and bits and scenes we love to get it down.
Anyway, I thought it might be a good topic that I haven't seen on the boards at least in awhile.
Things can always be shorter. Including this post.
