Fly My Pretties!

I need help.
I challenge you all to find the screenplays for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory ('71) and/or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ('05). I don't think it can be done. They don't exist. How do they make movies when screenplays don't exist. Don't directors download the scripts from teh intrawebw0rx like all the rest of us? :(

    this is my usual source for screenplays: http://sfy.ru/. However, they don't appear to have either. This appears to be the 1971 version... though I haven't seen it in a while to confirm.

    As far as the new one, hmm.... this page has some interesting comparisons... but not truly the screenplay.

    The closest I can find for the new one is: John August's blog. It has some of his scripts, but not the one that you seek (yet). Perhaps it will be uploaded shortly?

    That was incredibly helpful, Mike. I had already been to Scripts For You or whatever, but I didn't find this treatment-ish thing of the movie. Thanks, Mr. Resourceful!

    JARED!

    Film adaptation
    In 2002, New Line Cinema bought the rights to adapt A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (a memoir) into a film. The screenplay was written by novelist Nick Hornby and screenwriter D.V. DeVincentis. Several directors have expressed interest in the film, but none have thus far signed on, and the fate of the film remains uncertain. Eggers has said that, if the film is made, he will be a producer for it.

    Glad to be able to put my geek-like powers, and office hours, to use for the greater good of your class.
