Description from the seller

Predator (1987) Movie Script (Copy)

Final Draft – April 7th, 1986 (includes revisions up to 6 GOLDENROD – January 30th, 1987)
Complete script with 107 pages
Directed by John McTiernan
Written by Jim Thomas and John Thomas
Produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox

Predator was originally developed under the working title "Hunter" before becoming one of the defining sci-fi action films of the 1980s. The story follows Major Alan “Dutch” Schaefer, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his elite rescue team as they are hunted in a Central American jungle by a technologically advanced alien predator.

The film is regarded as a landmark in action and science fiction cinema for its blend of military survival and creature-driven horror, as well as its iconic creature design by Stan Winston. Its style and structure helped redefine the genre and influenced numerous films that followed.

Predator later became especially significant through its connection to the Alien franchise, establishing a crossover legacy that expanded its cultural impact far beyond its original release. This version reflects the production-ready screenplay used during filming, incorporating all revisions up to the 6 GOLDENROD draft stage into the structured format that shaped the final film.

The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, recognizing its groundbreaking practical effects work.

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.
