Last year, noticing that studios throughout Hollywood were posting the screenplays for their “Oscar movies” online for free, I compiled the download links for every screenplay I could find and posted them to this site. The article was a hit, many of the screenplays were downloaded, and things went quiet…until a few months ago, when the page started getting a lot of traffic again, no doubt thanks to the start of this year’s Oscar season.
The problem was, a lot of those studio sites from last year have been taken down, so if, say, you try to click the link to download the Avatar script, you get an ugly Not Found error. I won’t make that same mistake again: this year, I’ve downloaded all the new screenplays and stored them here, so the links will always work.

Warner Bros. is changing dance partners in Germany, inking a multiyear agreement with top broadcaster Rtl for German TV rights to more than 200 movies and TV series from the Hollywood studio.
Despite the global recession, the price tag for the deal could be as much as $100 million per year if all performance criteria are met. Most such deals these days are for three years.
Germany is one of the three most lucrative markets for U.S. product outside North America, and although local shows tend to dominate the airwaves there, American dramas and blockbuster movies still rate highly in primetime and hence command good prices.
Warner Bros. International Television had recently been teamed with Rtl's main commercial rival in the territory, ProSiebenSat.1, but will switch to Rtl starting next year.
The huge package includes rights to all Warners titles available to free TV from 2010 on, including the two-parter "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,...
