Matrix Trilogy Scripts


The Matrix trilogy will forever be recognized as the series that propelled Larry and Andy Waichowski into the cinema limelight.

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:

1. Matrix Script
2. Matrix Reloaded Script
3. Matrix Revolutions Script (Dialogue Transcript)

Wes Anderson Scripts

As a director, Wes Anderson has undoubtedly one of the most recognizable visual styles in cinema. His conscious use of bold primary colors and symmetric composition give his films a unique aesthetic that thread through his entire body of work.

As a scriptwriter, however, Anderson’s unique voice reveals his knack for dry, deadpan humor and his love for curiously eccentric characters. Whether you rue his lack of versatility, or praise his fine sense of individuality, its unmistakable that Anderson’s style is completely his own.

See below for a compiled collection of Wes Anderson’s feature length screenplays:

2. The Darjeeling Limited Script (PDF Download) (2007)
3. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Script (Dialogue Transcript)  (2004)

Paul Thomas Anderson Scripts


Even with only five feature length films to his writer / director credit, Paul Thomas Anderson (better known as PTA in professional circles) has already been credited as one of the most important filmmakers working today.

His academy-award nominated film There Will Be Blood (2007) has been praised by critics as one of the best films of the past decade. His powerful sense of character and masterful use of emotion on the written page is brought to even fuller effect when translated to the big screen.
