How many words did a movie script usually have?

Answer 1

The length of a movie script varies according to the type of movie, the film production company, the film director, and other factors, but usually a complete movie script is between hundreds to thousands of words long.

For example, the script of The Dark Knight Rises, a movie directed by famous director Chris Nolan, was about 1700 words long, while the script of Green Book, a movie directed by low-budget film director Chris Rock, was about 1500 words long.

The length of the script was not the only standard to measure the quality of the film, but the length of the script could reflect the importance and creative ambition of the director and producer.
