: When you are writing a script how do you know when it is long enough? Like how do you judge the amount of words or pages you have written to equal a certain amount of time? For example for a 90 minute movie how long would the script be?
But a good general rule is that one page of script equals one minute of screen time. If a script reader is given something between 80 and 110 pages, they'll be happy - any more and it'll almost certainly go in the bin (unless you're established).
