The King’s Speech Script

The King’s Speech caught me by surprise. I went to see it expecting it to be about the abdication of King Edward VIII. Well, silly me… the story was much more interesting and provides a good vehicle for both Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush.  However, I got the biggest kick out of the casting of Derek Jacobi as the Archbishop of Canterbury. The inside joke is his famous stuttering role in the BBC series I, Claudius.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop Movie Script vs. Observe and Report Movie Script

A couple of years ago, an interesting case of a mishandled script led to the release of two strikingly similar films. Though both were produced by two different studios, Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) and Observe and Report (2009) both featured the misadventures of an awkward yet eager security officer. With both films being marketed as a comedy, there was little to distinguish between one from the other in audiences eyes.
