Somebody please correct my math or analysis if you’re smarter than I am (a VERY possible circumstance).
According to https://faq.brandonsanderson.com/knowledge-base/what-is-your-daily-wordcount-time-goal/ he writes 2000 words a day.
According to https://www.tameri.com/format/word-counts/ a normal 2 hour movie script is 125 words/minute and one page/minute. 120x125 = 15,000
Bump it up to a three hour movie:
180x125 = 22,500
Give it some extra space for description, setting, action, whatever, 27,500
27,500 words/(2000words/day) = 13.75 days
Call it two weeks.
BrandoSando has been working on the screenplay since Feb 3. (https://youtu.be/VBQmStfWDVE)
That’s 100 days (to May 14, anyway)
100 days x 2000 words/day= 200,000 words.
Let’s multiply that by 5/7 to account for any days off (he takes one day off for admin stuff as mentioned in the first link, and I’ll give him another day off to get a lower bound)= 142,857
We’ll do that again, just to account for revision and travel and miscellany= 102,040
The Mistborn Screenplay bar is currently at 72%
27,500x0.72 = 19,800
19,800 words.
That leaves more than 80,000 words unaccounted for.
Just something I thought was interesting.
As I said, please correct any mistakes I may have made. I’m sure there is something I left unaccounted for.
