In Character by Robert Myers - Thriller - Victor Sterling is an award winning actor. His trick is he lives the roles out beforehand. the next film he will begin rehearsing 'a serial killer!  - doc, format 8)

Before I review this, let me note that so far I've only read fifty pages of it.  But if I were evaluating it for market use I would have stopped readig it long before fifty.

1)  his may be nitpicking, but the punctuation is off.  I notice this happens with a lot of scripts, so maybe people don't mind it, but I have a lot of trouble reading a script when I have to decipher each line.

2)  Throughout the fifty pages, very little has happened.  Which means that almost an hour of viewing time is wasted on this dull hollywood drama (which takes a very cynical, cliche look at hollywood).  

3)  The idea of "living out his roles" has been hinted at a little, but not at all emphasised, which is a problem if you want the continuation to make sense.

The side-dialogue is quite cute, and you certainly have a flair for writing dialogue (probably the worst part of most scrpts I've read around here).  But you need to clearly define your plot (and its genre) and get to it to avoid boring your viewers.

I realize how rude it is to review a script I didn't finish reading (even though I've already established an opinion).  I'll make another post sometime soon after reading the rest.

Scary:  On page 51, Byron says the random date July 10th, followed by talking about the guy's birthday.  My birthday is on July 10th!

Okay, finishing the script I really like it, but I also understand why I hated the first half:  The synopsis is wrong.  Something like "Vic Sterling is an award-winning actor whose life is loaded with problems.  He just got out of alcohol rehab, his ex-wife is driving him crazy, and to top it off somebody is trying to blackmail him."
You get the idea.  The set-up is still a bit long, but the movie bumps from 1 star to 3 if people understand the plot.

That was one of the things that I hated about Cube:  THe back of the movie says that the six people "know that they need to work together if they're going to make it out alive".  The movie is about them killing each other off...

Fix the pronunciation and structure (I recommend using indentation from both sides to do dialogue) and you've got yourself a good screenplay.  Your use of cliches is fine because it's openly admitted and is intentional.

**SPOILER**
The final line is cute, but an audience won't get it, only a script-reader.  The audience doesn't see the opening line.  Perhaps they will still figure it out, but I recommend changing Marta's line to "nearly blank page", and have him quote the opening dialogue instead.

I tried reading this script, but I couldn't get through the first ten pages. The dialogue was canned and forced and didn't feel real at all. Another thing -- Where's the hook? The action? There's NOTHING in the first ten pages that'd entice me into reading it further.
