I'm amazed that the screenplay for a 150 minute movie, based on a ~400 page novel, fits on 40 pages.
- au8er 5y agoAs mentioned in the article, he aims to make each act fit in 40 pages, not the entire screenplay. > Roth also said the 40 page limit helps him structure his screenplays.“I like it because it makes acts,” he said. “I realize if I hadn’t said it in 40 pages I’m starting to get in trouble.”
