One question i have is when someone is speaking on the phone but not seen how do you put this in the script
INT. Hollywood offices
2 producers are looking over the latest figures for the Dark Knight movie
Producer 1
What's happening here? The gross figures are getting lower
Producer 2:
This always happens for films, the longer they are out the lower the figures they get.
Producer 1:
Heath Ledger died, don't people realise how tragic this is.
Producer 2:
I don't think we should be trying to capitalise on his suicide
Producer 1:
No of course we're not
Producer 2:
Yeah, the decision to put him on all of the posters wasn't capitalising when he isn't even the main character
Producer 1:
We're going to have to think of something
Producer 2:
What do you propose?
Producer 1:
Let me think (pause) Morgan Freeman is old see if he's willing to die.
Producer 2:
Okay...
Producer 1:
Let's ring him
Producer 1 starts dialling and rings
Producer 1
Hey Morgan just calling for a favour
Morgan Freeman
Hello I can't talk right now, I'm driving oh shit
All that can be heard is the sound of the car crashing
Producer 2:
Happy?
Producer 1:
He'll probably survive...but this will do for now
