Roger Knoebber Archives: Second Draft Script of the Cronenberg Film Adaptation of Naked Lunch (1990)

London, England: The Recorded Picture Company (film script), 1990.
11" x 8.5",  97 pages, recto only, copy #8 (indicated on top right corner).

Second draft of Naked Lunch: A Screenplay by David Cronenberg, published on March 5, 1990. The final draft of this screenplay was – I believe – the fifth draft, and early draft copies are quite uncommon to locate. This copy was copy #8 of the draft.

This item is from the Roger Knoebber Archives [which I maintain].
