Question from a Fan:
“How many drafts of a screenplay do you write before it’s done?”
That answer varies widely from project to project. REQUIEMS was on about its 20th draft, DAY OF THE HEDGES will probably be the 3rd draft. I would say the average is that the 3rd or 4th draft is the one considered “final” (but there’s always things “discovered” on set and things cut in editing, so often that “final” draft is still not a completely analogous piece to the final movie.
