Is there any good books for screenplay writing?

Question

I mean which book is related to animated or feature films and this would be nourished with analysis based information, and covered with good examples of cinemas (movie).

Answer 1

Syd Field is good, as Steve mentioned. THE WRITER'S JOURNEY, by Christopher Vogler is also excellent. STORY, by Robert McKee is worth reading, though dense.

THE SCREENWRITER'S BIBLE, by David Trottier, is a good manual for formatting, as well as a good general guide to screenwriting.

Answer 2

Yes, but they all would cost a very pretty penny that an independent theater director and/or filmmaker could never afford.

A better solution is to find talented writers that are still in college and ask to use their screenplays in exchange for credit only. It is tedious, time-consuming and many times fruitless, but may be worth the effort as you never know what you will come across.

Answer 3

Tom Clancy's "Red Rabbit"

when Sum of all Fears cameout Clancy was so impressed by Ben Afleck's role that he wrote RR based on the looks, and personality of Ben Afleck but as Jack Ryan.

This was in hopes that Paramount would pick it up and cast Ben as Jack again.

Answer 4

SCREENPLAY by Syd Field. Concise and unexpensive. It's the best book on the subject.
