Waters gonna rise up, wild animals gonna rerun from the grave, and screenplays gonna be online for your consideration. We have recently posted links to screenplays available to download for your consideration from Universal Pictures, Focus Features, Sony Pictures Classics and Lionsgate.

Three out of four of these scripts are adaptations from previous works, and the fourth is based on a true story, so each of these screenplays offer great examples of how to adapt existing material or shape a true story into a screenplay.
