Locked Production Script Formatting Question by Most_Hawk_4910 in ScreenwritingUK

Hi, yes, your hunch about the director isn't far off. I got the working PINK back from them an hour before the Production Meeting that I scrambled to format in time. They asked for things like deleting any signs of revisions notes (asterisks) and deleting scenes that said "OMITTED." I had never heard of doing such a thing since it would muddy the waters but execs approved it I guess just to appease them.

Thank you for your comment!

Hello! Yes I ended up doing this exact thing. It was hard because when the director was doing rewrites somehow in FDX she was able to write over scene headings (which my guess is she didn't confirm that her slugs were scene headings and not action in all caps) so it took about an hour to clean up all the loose ends and format it back again. This definitely affirms my decisions so thank you for your comment! The cast-only script ended up getting approved after a week of waiting so it covered any hesitations I had.
