Newmarket Press Publishes Best Scripts of 2008

by Carla Pisarro | Published March 7, 2008

The acclaimed Newmarket Shooting Script series, known for publishing books of renowned screenplays, offers several of this year’s Academy Award-nominated scripts, including Atonement, Juno, The Savages and Michael Clayton. Other 2007 Shooting Scripts include Knocked Up, Dan in Real Life and Margot at the Wedding.

In addition to the screenplay itself, Newmarket Shooting Scripts include introductions, still photos and full cast and crew credits. Many books in the series also include interviews with the screenwriter.

Shooting Scripts for Atonement, Juno and The Savages boast introductions by the movie’s screenwriters (Christopher Hampton, Diablo Cody and Tamara Jenkins, respectively). Michael Clayton’s Shooting Script includes a Q&A with the film’s writer-director, Tony Gilroy, and a forward by veteran screenwriter William Goldman, himself an Oscar-winner for penning Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All the President’s Men.

The Shooting Scripts series is an invaluable resource for moviemakers and movie fans, offering insight into the mysterious process from script-to-screen.

Very interesting information. Never read scripts. And very much it would be desirable.

Comment by Khaled Quadrant vans on 11/01/08 at 11:32 am

Have seen Juno, Michael Clayton and knocked up which was very funny. Seth Rogan is on form, the script is very witty and Judd Apatow who also directed 40 year old virgin does a great job.

Juno was an excellent movie and this was purely because of the script. informative list btw.

Comment by Keynote speaker on 3/02/09 at 1:42 pm

Bright and funny comedy. Juno’s smart script and direction are matched by assured performances in a coming of age story with a 21st century twist.

Comment by Bob on 3/11/09 at 8:11 am

Comment by The Bead Stalk on 6/08/09 at 8:25 am

I was very surprised at how enjoyable Juno was it was one of those films which I knew nothing about before going to watch the movie. Michael Céra incidently is great in the movie and has a new film coming out with Jack Black called Year One which looks like its going to be a very good movie.

Comment by Mike - Online Music Store on 6/16/09 at 1:41 pm

I didn’t think Juno was all that great, but Knocked Up was hilarious.

Comment by baby closet organizers on 8/19/09 at 2:55 am

Atonement and Juno are two of my favorite scripts. However, I think that there are other scripts which could have been nominated. I’m wondering why they weren’t included. Rick V

Comment by hosting on 9/01/09 at 11:13 am

Excellent resource for moviemakers and movie fans, on my list.

Comment by Car hire Aberdeen airport on 9/01/09 at 11:21 am

Christopher Hampton is the man when it comes to movie screenwriters especially up here in Aberdeen.

Comment by Divorce solicitors in Cardiff on 9/02/09 at 4:41 am

William Goldman is an Oscar-winner for All the President’s Men, so if he has written the forward to the book it has got to be good.

Comment by Lease Hire Vans on 9/09/09 at 10:02 am

Thanks for the list. I have not seen atonment yet but look forward to leasing it when it comes out on DVD.

Comment by cherubbl826@gmail.com on 9/10/09 at 2:17 am

Comment by Internet marketing cardiff on 9/11/09 at 4:01 am

William Goldman did Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. If he likes it it has got to be good. Here in Cardiff, Wales we like it.

Comment by Mike's Recording Studio on 9/14/09 at 10:11 am

I never even heard of Atonement. Is that a new movie that came out recently?

Comment by Online Slots Man on 9/17/09 at 8:09 am

Juno has to go down as one of my favourite films of recent years. Dark, funny and superbly written - glad to see it made publication.

Comment by hidden object games on 9/26/09 at 9:53 pm
