First Draft: Read the 2018 Oscar Nominees for Best Original and Adapted Screenplay

Lady Bird

Written by Greta Gerwig

The working title for the script and film was Mothers and Daughters. Writer and Director Greta Gerwig’s first draft of the script was 350 pages long, which would have made for an almost six-hour long movie. The eventual film would mark Greta Gerwig’s solo feature directorial debut.

Greta spoke with Rolling Stone about the relationship between the mother and daughter characters, “The core of that relationship is very close to me. And it’s not because that was how my mom and I were, because Laurie’s character is nothing like my mother. But the core of it felt like this deep love and sense of conflict that comes out of the fact that you’re essentially the same person.”
