Welcome to The Editing Room
The Editing Room has been around since 1998 and features over 1,000 Abridged Scripts for movies and TV shows, making the site officially too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio.
Abridged Scripts are short(-ish) screenplays for films that just cover the lowlights. They’re like Cliff’s Notes for your favorite movies, except Cliff thinks your favorite movie sucks.

Think you can compress two hours of cinematic nonsense into a few pages of meaner, shorter nonsense? Send us an Abridged Script and it could be featured on the site.
We are looking for sharp jokes, readable formatting, accurate criticisms, and enough movie hatred to suggest you probably should go touch grass but watched a Zack Snyder movie instead.
