That's very cool! I love the formalia... "In the hopes of an aesthetically pleasing and mutually beneficial 'Motion Picture'..."
Also funny to see a Marcel Proust quote there. I remember Handler saying he's never read any Proust.
Where did you find this, aaccss?

I was searching google and found a tumblr page devoted to posting random pages/covers from scripts. They didnt post anything else about ASOUE. I can post a direct link later when I am not mobile.

Yeah I wonder what more we could wring outta them...great find! This also just makes me so happy AGAIN that DH and BS are working together on this project. I wonder how much of their planned film is gonna make it into the show.

I so doubted the authenticity of the original post...but now seeing the scraps from the Netflix show, it seems to make sense.

I just realized some of this was used in the Netflix series.

I'm seriously in awe right now because WHOLE SECTIONS of this script ended up in the show, like, VERBATIM. We even had Lemony walking into frame and talking here, and we didn't notice!
I would seriously love to get that original script and see what it looked like. I'd wager it's nearly the show.

The "Pregnant Agent"/Kit role is definitely Jacquelyn in the show. That said, I still think it's unlikely Daniel would combine her with Jacques and change her name, it'd be too awkward, so she's either a show-only character or female Jacques. In any case, she's definitely the same role in the narrative. He's really been waiting to do this version of the story for over a decade, heh.

This is still wild. So glad we got the TV show which could bring much of this to life

Props to Ryan for recognizing the original post's authenticity just from the script scraps in 2016. And not to toot my own horn, but I was the first to point out the show's similarities to this script as soon as the first season was out ( toot toot).

I would've loved to read the o.g. script, shame it was so long ago
