New Look at Screenplay Length

Scott Myers takes a look at the current state of spec script page lengths. For the longest time I’ve always heard 120 was the target, with act breaks happening at 30, 60 and 90. Now it seems that less of a good thing is an even better thing. Dramas sit around 105 while comedies are down to 100! Wonder if Twitter, et. al. had anything to do with this switch. Good news is, my current project was well over 110. Bad news is, I’ve got a lot of editing to do now.
