Today's Hollywood screenplays have a uniform appearance, but it has
not always been this way. The earliest film writing used theatrical
plays and prose fiction as models, and the silent cinemas of
Germany, Russia and the United States all developed their own
traditions, culminating in the unique 'screen poetry' of Carl
Mayer. Hollywood studios adapted to writing for sound in different
ways, while European author-directors such as Ingmar Bergman made
film writing as personal a form of expression as poetry. Later,
American writers as diverse as William Goldman, David Mamet and
Charlie Kaufman showed that the screen writer could be as important
and distinctive a figure as any director, while today's digital
technology is transforming screenwriting once again. Steven Price
traces the history of the screenplay, illustrating its
transformations with detailed discussion of a wide range of
examples from the beginnings of cinema to the present day.
