Hi folks,

does anyone know where to find the screenplays for these three movies. I was only able to find the dialogue transcriptions.

White Men Can't Jump (1992) by Ron Shelton

10 Years (2011) by Jamie Linden

Valhalla Rising (2009) by Nicolas Winding Refn, Roy Jacobsen & Matthew Read

Thanks in advance.

I spent a bit of time searching around for a script of Valhalla Rising.  Got to say I doubt it's freely available.  Given the nature of the film itself I'd imagine it wouldn't be much of a 'script' as such -- more likely a 'loose' shooting script, largely improvised.

That said, if anything turns up...  Count me in.

Sure thing. That is IF anything shows up. Because I think you're probably right about this.

But this is actually one of the reasons why I want to read these 3 screenplays (aside from liking the movies), they all seem to have this rough guidlines in common.

I don't know exactly about Valhalla Rising, but 10 Years for example was made as a fun project, rather than a very strict shoot. All the actors were close friends with the Jamie Linden and except for one of the storylines, everything else was largely improvised.

With White Men Can't Jump, they probably did have a fleshed out story, but I know they were very worried about the basketball scenes. I myself play a lot of basketball and am also writing one basketball feature, and I'm very curious how much of what we see on screen was actually written in the screenplay, and how.

Btw, aren't you the stevemiles who wrote that short Common Grounds?

White Men Can't Jump

I don't have the other two.

Hey Vlade, apologies, I've been off the grid this past week.  Yes, that was mine -- thanks again for the translation.  Good to see you've got one of the three you were looking for.  Big thanks to Pale Yellow for posting WMCJ, great film -- looking forward to reading the script.

Thank you Pale Yellow. I've been looking for it for quite some time now. If I can repay you with a read, just let me know.

@stevemiles
did you have any luck getting it produced, or did you decide to turn it into a feature?
