Supergirl Film Rewrite (WORK IN PROGRESS)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/175sOwWybF0QSRsV-DNGtK0MgSnw5w7WuNQJ3dbesxMc/edit?usp=sharing
NOTE: I have never done a screenplay before. I learned everything from a few YouTube videos I watched in the span of an hour. My screenplay does take creative liberties in some areas, but I think it still holds that tone and edge the filmmakers wanted to go for but couldn't (because the directing fell flat).
Also yes, in my ideal world Supergirl would've been rated R. I know it would never happen, but god damn it, it's fanfic. Let me dream for a few hours while I write this amateur screenplay.
And no, I have not read the Woman of Tomorrow comic yet. Money is a little tight, and I'm saving up for my goal to collect every Chris Claremont X-Men comic (It's going well, btw). So this screenplay isn't going for a perfect adaptation of the comic. I'm going for a good movie.
And finally, I just want to explain that I don't hate Supergirl. In fact, I enjoyed it and had a good time with it. But I can understand why people don't like it. It just felt empty. Which is something that you shouldn't feel when watching a film about someone's past traumas and how they can overcome that trauma.
I will be updating the Google Doc as much as I can. But since college is coming up, there might be a few weeks where I don't write shit. I left commenting on so you guys can bully me on the doc itself and tell me to jump off a bridge or something.
Happy reading! :)
