American Film Scripts Online
Resource available to authorized IU Bloomington users (on or off campus)

To link to this database use: https://libraries.indiana.edu/databases/filmscripts

Contains 1,100 scripts by 1,062 writers together with detailed, fielded information on the scenes, characters and people related to the scripts. Also includes facsimile images for more than 500 of these screenplays, as well as writer biographies.

Additional Information:

Part of an ongoing project to digitize and thoroughly index film scripts. The rationale behind this is not only to provide access to many previously unpublished screenplays, it is to allow scripts to become part of the established corpus of literary works. Alexander Street developed the collection through arrangements with Warner Bros., Sony, RKO, MGM, and other major film studios; rights holders such as Faber & Faber, Newmarket Press, Penguin Putnam, StudioCanal, and Vintage Anchor; and the writers themselves, including Paul Schrader, Lawrence Kasdan, Gus Van Sant, Neil LaBute, Oliver Stone, and many others.
