NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that this script belonged to the production designer for this movie, and he had bound into it many additional pages relating to production design and he highlighted the portions of the script that related to things he would have to create for the movie. Included is an 8x10 still of the director and a bound "statement of construction cost" stating (over many pages) what it cost to create all the sets, and whether they went over or under budget. Note that this script is the first draft from December 3, 1980 and the screenplay was written by Lawrence D. Cohen.

Note that this is one of ten scripts we were consigned from the production designer for those ten movies (and are auctioning in ten separate auctions), and all of them, like this one, are quite different from "regular" scripts, because they have a lot of "extras"!

Condition: very good. See our multiple images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this script.
