Scripts go through several drafts and sometimes several sets of writers before the cast and crew receive their “final” scripts. Therefore there will usually be multiple versions of a script with varying quantities printed for each version. Sometimes, the first draft is preceded by a short narrative story outline [or treatment or scenario] without dialogue or staging. These are intended for decision makers, anticipating a go-ahead to produce a first draft script. Story outlines are usually limited in quantity and may be quite different from the script that eventually emerges, if any. A first draft script might have only a few copies printed — for the producers, directors, and key production personnel — or there might be enough for the anticipated cast and crew to participate in read-throughs [table reads] to see what works and what doesn’t. Second drafts are sometimes printed only for key personnel and once accepted a “final” or “shooting” script will be printed for the rest of the cast and crew. But not always; a revised draft may become the shooting script and the additional copies for cast and crew are indistinguishable. Page revisions are usually printed on different color page inserts; sometimes there is no color change but an alphabetic suffix will be added to the page number. Bottom Line: Regardless of the version, only a small percentage of the surviving copies ever come on the market — all authentic scripts should be considered scarce.
