original scripts
First written drafts
Original scripts are screenplays or theatrical works not adapted from existing source material—novels, prior films, true stories, or other properties.
The term distinguishes freshly conceived stories from adaptations: The studio is looking for original scripts rather than remakes.
In film awards, "original screenplay" is a separate category from "adapted screenplay."
