The Knives Out Script Is Now Online, So You Can See How It Looked On The Page

Knives Out was a favorite film of many in 2019, and it earned a lot of praise (and an Oscar nomination) for its script. Now, with the film out on digital services and DVD, director and writer Rian Johnson has released the film's shooting script for fans to pore over and enjoy.

The script is available on Rian Johnson's website, along with the scripts for most of his other films. As Johnson says on Twitter, "All previous scripts that don't involve outer space are up there too" (his Star Wars: The Last Jedi script is not available).

Johnson's other films include Brick, Looper, and The Brothers Bloom. Brick is also available as a novella.

This is the shooting draft, which means it's the "final" script. Johnson is a very well-regarded screenwriter, so for writers this script provides some valuable insight into what his work looks like.

The DVD and Blu-Ray of Knives Out also come with multiple special features, including all the film's deleted scenes. This script contains scenes that did not make it into the final film.

We have not seen the last of the Knives Out universe, with Johnson currently planning a sequel. He's also scheduled to eventually create a new Star Wars trilogy.
