The screenplay is the guide for the Investors, Producers, Director, Actors, Crew of exactly what will appear on screen. It is the common ground that everybody on the film will work with from start to finish of production. It tells the complete story, contains all action in the film and all dialogue for each character. It can also describe characters visually so filmmakers can try to capture their style, look or vibe. Since the script is the blueprint for the movie or TV show it also the best predictor of cost. Making a film takes careful planning of the budget and cost estimation can best be gleamed from the script. For example, if the script calls for scenes that only CGI can accommodate the producers know they are in for a bigger budget. If the film is mostly dialogue driven, with no special effects and limited locations the budget should be much lower. As an example let’s look at 2 recent Fox movies; Rise of the Planet of the Apes and The Fault in our Stars. According to Box Office Mojo Apes (as of this writing) has grossed about $177 million while Stars has made about $124 million BUT…. Apes had a production budget of $93 million while Stars production was only $12 million! If you knew nothing else about these films but looked at their scripts it would probably be obvious to you why there was such a difference in production budget. To interpret what’s on paper to screen for Apes it would be clear that it would take a ton of CGI and other costly special effects. Stars on the other hand had no costly special effects and was mostly a character and dialogue driven story. Understanding what general budget your script portrays is important because financiers are mostly looking to invest in films like Stars (lower risk) and these are the films that a studio will greenlight. The script also goes a long way in determining the schedule of your film. The schedule of the film is important because it has a direct impact on the budget. A common cause for budget overruns is when there are disruptions or rescheduling that needs to be done. This is all meticulously planned out beforehand using the script as a guide. When it comes to actual filming time, typically filmmakers will decide how many pages of the script they will film per session.

Founded in 2007 in an office in Malibu California, our CEO Nicole Sorkin has many contacts in the movie and entertainment industry. Authors, at that time, were presenting novels, manuscripts and screenplays to her knowing of her work in the book review industry. Some of the books which were submitted were referred over to publicists with long-established ties, eventually finding their way into the entertainment industry, Broadway Theaters, movies and animations. Capitalizing on this group of relationships, Hollywood Book Review started with a focus on the motion picture industry, but since has branched out to become a highly recognized review service for virtually every genre and any author who needs to have a book review.
