The double-bound screenplay held up in front of my script library
Title page of BASIC by James Vanderbilt. “First Draft, March 27, 2000”
First page of screenplay, with two quotes. Voltaire: “He who seeks the truth should be of no country.” Napoleon: “The worse the man, the better the soldier.”
The first act break, p24 & 25
On the occasion of @blankcheck.bsky.social ‘s #McTiernan series swan song , BASIC, here is the original #JamesVanderbilt #screenplay (a souvenir from my time as Story Editor at Endeavor), a script & movie I never bothered to read or watch until today. Script is a good if basic (!) yarn… film is not.
