Hell is other people

Since this is our first script review let me explain how this works.  Basically thanks to the magic of the internet, occasionally I’ll come across the script to a movie that either I haven’t seen for some reason, or is maybe a different version of a movie that was made (for example Kevin Smith’s “Superman”) or a really early draft that is pretty different from the finished project.  Scripts are fun to read so I figured when I do such a thing, I’ll pop on here and write up a review.  Oh also movies yet to be made are included in this category.  Obviously I can review nothing about the movie but the writing so that’s all these reviews are.  Basic reviews of the plot, characters, dialogue, everything on the written page. For legal reasons I will not post a link to the script unless given permission by the author. Remember you can use the “contact” tab to send us your own scripts.

 

This first review is of Richard Kelly’s new recently released film “The Box” based off the short story/Twilight Zone episode “Buttons, Buttons” by Richard Matheson.  The draft I read was dated 2006.  I have not seen the film version so I cannot speak to any differences there might be between this and the final product.
