In November, studios and production companies will start making available 2018 movie scripts as part of their For Your Consideration campaigns and with the resumption of our script reading series. I will be on the lookout for more volunteers to do scene-by-scene breakdowns, so be on the lookout for your favorite movie scripts from this year!
