About this product

Product Information

Christopher Keane has spent 20 years in the business, learning the truths--and the tricks--of writing a selling screenplay. In "How to Write a Selling Screenplay, " he takes writers through the entire process, from developing a story to finding the best agent. Using an annotated version of an often-optioned screenplay of his own, and citing examples from movies ranging from "Casablanca" and "Lethal Weapon" to "Sling Blade" and "The English Patient, " he discusses how to create three-dimensional characters, find a compelling story, build an airtight plot structure, fine-tune dialogue, and much more. Keane's tips on the difference between writing for film and television, as well as his advice on dealing with Hollywood movers and shakers, make this an essential companion for people writing their first--or their fortieth--screenplay.

  • A bit dated

    Screenplay writing has changed quite a bit over recent years, especially since the advent of the computer age. In the early days they could be handwritten and were no more than suggestive guides for the director, who could deviate where he felt he could improve the end product. Today the format and type fonts are "cast in concrete" and a screenplay program with automated tabulations, caps vs lower case, italics, etc., is virtually mandatory. And the producers/directors will likely take an accepted screenplay and have their own writers rewrite it anyway. These things are the reality of today need to be covered more thoroughly in in the book. I can neither recommend nor not recommend this book, not because it is poorly done, but but because realities have been chanced so much by the ...
