Draft (used scene 84-90 and scene 100)
Filmdraft
Here's a few changes I did to the script:
Change 1 - Change from American to British
Since 'Catch me if you can' is originally set in US i had to change a bit of the dialogue to make it sound more British and also some of the characters working titles (e.g . I changed "FBI" to "police", "United States Secret Service" to "MI4" and "Special agent" to "Chief of police").
Change 2 - Location
In the original scene they open by having Carl Hanratty and two other agents walking through a busy pool area of a motel, passing some flight attendants who are sitting by a small pool, to talk with the motel owner. I decided to change this location to be a British B&B where we start with Carl Hanratty knocking on the door and it being opened by the B&B owner and then cut to them looking at checks and papers in her kitchen.Change 3 - Gender-change and reducing cast
I decided to have Carl Hanratty kncking on the door alone of the B&B and have his "sidekick" sitting in the car rather than having 2 of the him following him in. This was to reduce the cast as the 2 sidekicks doesn't play any important part in that scene. I also decided to change the gender of the motel/B&B owner to be a lady instead of a man. This was mainly because I felt the role fits a female better than a man.Change 4 - Cutting out sequence
In my script I also decided to cut out a sequence from the bedroom scene where the characters are looking out the window and sees a on the street walking into a car. This was because I have very limited time and getting all the props I need (since I'm doing a period piece) took longer than I first thought. I therefore decided to not spend extra time trying to find a 1960's car and instead change the dialogue so the scene was no longer needed.My script
