Date Sold 6/8/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Movie Script (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm], 127 pages) (Learn More) Battle Royal ("An International Thriller of Today"), the 1979 movie script written by Samuel Fuller. After Fuller wrote the script, he sent it to agent Paul Kohner with a memo that read, "Please have this read for Charles Bronson to consider. I am very enthusiastic about this.". Apparently, Bronson (who had worked with Fuller in 1957 when he was an unknown actor) was not "enthusiastic", because this script was never produced. If anyone knows more about this script, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this screenplay was written by Samuel Fuller, and it comes with the inter-office memo suggesting that Charles Bronson read the script. Note that this item comes from the estate of Paul Kohner, who as an agent for hundreds of actors, writers, directors, etc., was constantly sent scripts to "pitch" to his clients or to the studios, and therefore we are 100% certain that this is an original script created at the time it was written. Kohner had a remarkable life! Kohner was born in Czechoslovakia in 1902, and he was a journalist working at his father's newspaper. He came to Hollywood after interviewing Carl Laemmle, who gave him a job as a publicity man. He became the head of Universal's European department in Berlin, and returned to the U.S. in the early 1930s, and left Universal in 1938, becoming a publicity agent. Among his clients were some of the greatest film stars ever, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, and also great directors such as John Huston and Billy Wilder. He had close personal friendships with many of his clients, and he saved every bit of correspondence and paper work from his agency! He was married to actress Lupita Tovar from 1932 until his death in 1988. Amazingly, after his death, few institutions showed interest in his immense files, and only a small amount ended up being saved, with a lot literally thrown away! Our consignor purchased the item offered here from Mr. Kohner's estate in 1989, and he has held it until now, when he has consigned several items from Mr. Kohner's estate to eMoviePoster.com, and each item is being auctioned separately. Condition: very good. The last page is partially loose and darkened and slightly tattered. There is some wear on the covers. Learn More about condition grades
