After lurking through a number of forums over the months, I noticed that there are a LOT of fans who would love to see a live action big budget Hollywood production of Berserk. I personally would love to see that happen some day, but of course the two most difficult hurdles would be:
1) proper casting
and
2) condensing the berserk story into feature film size chunks while at the same time staying true to the original content.
Since I can only speculate about who would make the best cast, I decided to try and tackle the daunting task of writing a screenplay adaptation. I think fans of the series would rather suffer torture at the hands of Mozgus than see a Berserk movie that had been butchered by bad writing.
After making hypothetical outlines for the beginning and end points of a series of Berserk movies, I decided that first movie would essentially cover "The Guardians of Desire" through the "Master of the Sword" episodes. And so, about 7 hours later I found myself with 27 pages of screenplay that spanned "The Guardians of Desire" episodes. That is 27 pages *AFTER* trimming out quite a bit of material. So unfortunately, I had to make the decision to truncate the first 10 pages that I had written so that this first "act" would be able to fit into the 25-30 minute time frame I had budgeted for it.
If you decide to read through my rough draft you will quickly notice the "trimming" I have made. Most notable is the complete removal of Puck. I plan to introduce him much much later, in what would essentially be the beginning of a 3rd movie (God willing). I really hope to get some feedback from you guys and *constructive* criticism. This is only the rough draft of a small portion of what promises to be a very lengthy screenplay. Once I get some more free time I promise to write more and I hope my fellow fans will support me in this venture, even if it does seem a bit premature and silly.
Oh yeah... you can download the rough draft here:

P.S. This is my first post on the site, this is probably the most odd way that I could introduce myself, LoL.
