| From the article: "A new screenplay will be penned by Daniel Goldfarb". Isn't JOSEPH sung-through? Or is a screenplay more than just dialogue? | |

| A screenplay does include dialogue, but more importantly, it highlights camera angles, placement, pov, and locations of shots. I doubt much of Rice’s text will change, but the script will reinterpret it through the lens of the camera, which is what the screenplay will mostly entail. |

| That's not necessarily true, nor is it usually true. Very rarely do screenplays, at least as written by the screenwriter (rather than the director) include most of what you mention besides when, for example, the POV is crucial to the concept of the storytelling and why the scene/dialogue is the way it is or how it fits into the narrative... and of course the locations are all there for each scene or beat. But yes, the screenplay, like the book to a stage musical, is a lot more than dialogue. Even if it is sung-through, where and to whom each lyric is sung is something that may be changed and invented in the screenplay, as might the order of songs, and the way the musical works in a film context. |

| This isn’t quite true. Generally, it’s frowned upon for a screenwriter to give camera directions, and part of the art of screenwriting is describing the visuals in such a way that it suggests camera placement and camera movement without actually dictating those things. But the broader point is correct, that the work of the screenplay is to express the actions and paint the visual landscape of the film. In most screen plays dialogue is the least of the words that are on the page, which is the inverse of what play scripts tend to do. Ideally, when you read a screenplay, you have a very clear sense of how the film will look in move, roughly in the amount of time, but it will take for the film to achieve that. |
