AMOS & ANDREW 1991 Nicolas Cage Samuel L Jackson Original Movie Script COA

  

AMOS & ANDREW: Original 1991 InterTalent Agency Screenplay An original screenplay for Amos & Andrew, written by E. Max Frye and dated December 1991.

This is an InterTalent Agency copy. InterTalent was a short-lived Hollywood talent agency of the era, which makes its scripts uncommon. The 1993 Castle Rock comedy starred Nicolas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson, both just before they became box-office juggernauts. This script captures the moment right before everything changed for both of them. Dabney Coleman and Michael Lerner co-starred. InterTalent Agency xerox in stiff covers.

CONDITION: Very Fine to Extra Fine. STORY: A Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright buys a summer home on a wealthy island. When the neighbors see a Black man inside, they assume a break-in and call the police, who open fire.

To cover up the mistake, the sheriff recruits a white petty crook to stage a hostage situation. HISTORY: Written and directed by E. Max Frye and shot around Wilmington, North Carolina in 1992, the film's title parodies the sitcom Amos'n' Andy, and its premise echoes The Defiant Ones.

Revisiting the film in 2016, critic Nathan Rabin called its first two acts a sometimes scathing, sometimes funny exploration of the intersection of class and race. That feels like it could have been ripped from today's headlines.
