Pre-production- Script Revisions

Revisions to the Script:
-          All scenes after scene one now read ‘DAY’ due to the availability of actors and when we can film
-          ‘Scene 5’ added in as Hunter and Reilly move location at the end of Scene 4
-          The line ‘That’s your lookout is it?’ has been removed because Jonjo didn’t like it
-          Stage directions changed: Reilly no longer stays in the lounge while Hunter pours scotch, but they both walk into the study
-          Instead of gesturing at the typewriter, Reilly picks up the draft pages of the book
-          When Reilly picks up the pages, Hunter walks over, hands him the scotch then, and takes the pages from him, placing them back down on the desk        
-          Alteration to the Voiceover: ‘considering I had been in new York for two years’ changed to ‘considering I left London two years ago’, as this establishes that Hunter is English, hence the accent, while the next line ‘no more  can be expected from the NYPD’ establishes that he is now in New York
-          The series of shots has been altered slightly so that it begins with Hunter’s fingers on typewriter, and he no longer picks up the cigarette
-          Small typing and spacing adjustments
-          Name added
