TAKE DOWN / Kieth Merrill 1979 Movie Script Screenplay, Teacher Wrestling Team

  

Writers: Eric Hendershot & Kieth Merrill. This is an Original Movie Script from the 1979 Film, "Take Down". This script is complete and is 134 pages long.

It has all white pages inside. The bottom edges of all of the pages have photocopy marks, which is just how these script were made by the production company and issued out to the Cast & Crew.

Please view all of the pictures provided above. This script is in very good overall condition. Ed Branish, a snooty English teacher who finds his situation at Mingo Junction High School far beneath him and barely tolerable, flaunts his air of superiority over all (including his supportive wife) by frequently spouting platitudes from literary masters to validate his often contemptuous viewpoint. His habit of having as little to do with his school as possible finally gets the better of him when his light schedule makes him the only staff member available to supervise the newly formed wrestling team.

Cornered, he lashes out at the first student to cross his path - Nick Kilvitus, a reserved 185 lbs. Senior who's embarrassed by his near-poverty social status and who's also missed a lot of classes lately. No one realizes Nick's been filling in for his alcoholic father at a steel mill (hauling I-beams) when his dad's too drunk to show up which is all too often, and which also keeps Nick busy at night fishing his embittered father out of bars - to be carried home.

THE POSTER SHOWN IN THE LAST PICTURE ABOVE IS NOT INCLUDED, IT IS JUST BEING USED AS A VISUAL REFERENCE. Specializes in rare and collectible movie scripts. Our scripts are genuine, authentic and screen used.

We also carry movie props from no genre in particular. Furthermore, all of our items that are not props or scripts can be found in our Other Memorabilia category.

We do not sell reproductions or fakes. We have one of the largest collections of original movie screenplays in the world. We also carry scripts used in Television, Broadway, Radio and other forms of entertainment. Every script that we own was hand-picked one at a time over the many years of which we have been collecting.

A lot of people, new to collecting, are confused about the word Original. " In terms of movie scripts, the term "Original means that it was used by the production company in the early stages of production or that it was issued out to the cast and crew members during filming, and used at the time of production. Any scripts printed or used in any fashion after filming has completed are known as either a reproduction or a post-production script.

These two types of scripts are much less valuable and desirable. All of our scripts are Original..

An original movie script has a lot of character in the item itself and every one of them is different in some way or another. There is usually only one script given to each crew member during production, however, sometimes they do get more than one. This makes original movie scripts very desirable because of how scarce they are. Any changes made to the screenplay during production are known as revisions and these revision pages are inserted into that one script that was issued out to them.

For example, if we are talking about a low-budget film with a small cast and only a few crew members, there are actually only a small number of scripts in existence around the world for that film. This aspect of collecting makes it fun but also difficult because there may be a certain writer or director that you love to collect and there may only be a handful of movie scripts that still exist from that specific film that you are looking for. We have some of the rarest movie scripts in the world.

Each film project has a different total number of scripts that are issued.
