RONNIE ROCKET - David Lynch Draft - Unproduced

RONNIE ROCKET (Unproduced) Film screenplay (Copy)

Complete screenplay including 156 pages
Revised Draft – February 22, 1991
Screenplay by David Lynch

A must-have for David Lynch fans, as it represents the film he always regretted not making.

This extremely rare version of the screenplay reflects an unfinished draft of the project, containing structural elements that illustrate the conceptual direction of the film during its development phase.

This copy is complete, which is especially rare for Ronnie Rocket, as many known versions are missing pages—most notably pages from 111 to 120. Having the full 156-page draft intact makes this example particularly desirable for collectors, since complete versions of the screenplay are extremely difficult to find.

Ronnie Rocket: The Absurd Mystery of the Strange Forces of Existence is an unproduced film project written by David Lynch. The story is described as a surreal and experimental narrative involving parallel dimensions, electricity as a metaphysical force and a detective seeking to access an alternate reality. Central to the concept is a mysterious figure known as Ronnie Rocket, a small, red-haired individual who requires electrical power to survive. The screenplay reflects Lynch’s early exploration of themes that would later appear in his produced works, such as industrial atmospheres, nonlinear storytelling and the coexistence of multiple realities.

Beyond its narrative content, this screenplay holds exceptional importance as one of the most legendary unrealized projects by David Lynch. Its long, unsuccessful development history and absence of a finished film have turned Ronnie Rocket into a “lost cornerstone” of his filmography, frequently cited in studies of his creative evolution alongside works like Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive. For collectors, this would be considered a rare archival piece, as unproduced scripts—especially from major auteurs—exist in very limited numbers and often serve as the only tangible record of the project. For admirers of David Lynch, it represents a unique opportunity to access an unrealized vision that has achieved near-mythical status within cinema culture, significantly increasing both its cultural and collectible value.

Did you know?

Our scripts come directly from the USA. They are easy to recognize because they have the standard U.S. paper size. Typically, people use A4-sized paper (297mm in height) to make fan copies of scripts. This paper size is not used in the United States; they use letter-sized paper (279mm in height). This is noticeable because this scripts usually have black lines at the top and bottom, showing that the original paper size used to copy (any American script) is smaller than A4.

Also, our scripts have been preserved under the strictest climate control standards in HVAC-R conditions, both during storage and throughout the packaging process. As a result, a label is applied after sealing them, as shown in the photos. They are bound in the same way that vault copies of scripts are preserved, without any oxidizable materials that could damage the paper. They are carefully packed in bubble wrap and placed in a cardboard box to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition.
