Harry Potter Movie Scripts


In a few months, the Harry Potter movie franchise will finally come to a climactic end. Seven books and six films later, Harry Potter has proven itself to be one of the most financially successful book-to-movie adaptations in history.

Whether it deserves the accolade, however, is up to the fans to decide. But with the grand finale halved into two dramatic parts, fans can only hope that Warner Bros. delivers on its promise to do justice to the world created by author J.K Rowling.

Weigh in on the scripts yourself with a collection of Harry Potter’s previous movie scripts:

Matrix Trilogy Scripts


The Matrix trilogy will forever be recognized as the series that propelled Larry and Andy Waichowski into the cinema limelight. Having ushered in a whole new era of effects work like westernized wire-frame kung-fu fighting and the ever-popular “bullet time”, the Matrix Trilogy redefined the Hollywood action sequence.

But despite a strong debut with the first movie, the Matrix Trilogy was largely regarded as a series that lost its direction with the second and third films.

Check out the trilogy on paper in the collection below:

Coen Brothers Screenplays

Ethan and Joel Coen, more popularly known as the Coen brothers, have made a name for themselves with their own brand of dark humor and quirky comedy.

After garnering critical success with their academy award winning screenplay for Fargo (1996), the Coen brothers’ reputation for tightly written and excellently directed films were only further proven with films such as The Big Lebowski (1998) and O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000). More recently, the brothers have gone on to win the Academy Award for Best picture for their film No Country for Old Men (2007). Nominations for Best Original Screenplay for Burn After Reading (2008) and A Serious Man (2009) soon followed from both the BAFTA and the Academy respectively.

Known as the “two-headed director” within industry circles, this writing and directing tandem only proves the age old maxim that two heads are indeed better than one.

Check out this tandem’s impeccable writing filmography in the scripts below:

A Nightmare on Elm Street

This week’s top box office film is  A Nightmare on Elm Street.  It is a remake of  Wes Craven’s film from 1984. Seems like lots of remakes this year.
