> This looks like a standardization of the way that screenwriting is done

I don't think many people have written scripts in plain text since they stopped using typewriters.





So you're saying he's yet another example of a screenwriter who doesn't use plain text computer files for his screenplays?


What I'm saying is that the process doesn't matter.


I Am Not A Screenwriter, but from what I've seen circulating in fandom over the years, most professionals write plaintext-over-MSWord or plaintext-over-FinalDraft. The result is pretty much just plaintext, once it's printed out (which it will be).


Oh yes, what screenplays look like is very standardized and hasn't changed much for the best part of a century.
