Why is this script not online or in PDF form? I've been searching everywhere. What are the differences between this and the film?

To answer your first question: Because scripts are copyright protected.  You know what a copyright is?

Copy, right?

Seriously, though, I haven't seen their first draft online anywhere. I have an early draft, it might be similar to the one I liked to above at Universal Export's website, but it definitely has the Q boat, not the jet pack...

Oh, I see - because something´s on the internet it must be legal, right?

It can't be any worse than the version that actually made it to screen.

Sir, I did not mean to cause a controversy. I am simply looking for details of the first drafts

[SecretAgentFan]

No controversy.  Sorry, if I sounded a little harsh.

 

I just wanted to stress that no one can expect scripts to be made available without the author´s or producers´ permission.  And very often, what one can find on the internet, are early drafts or not even actual drafts but something written by people who have too much time on their hands.
