These rare documents offer a fascinating glimpse into the films as they were originally conceived — revealing what was changed, what was removed and what ultimately made it to the screen. This volume turns its attention to one of Hammer’s most legendary productions: \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e (1958).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by Hammer stalwart Jimmy Sangster, the shooting script for this landmark production contains unfilmed scenes, original dialogue and characterisations that differ significantly from those seen in the finished film. But this is no ordinary script. It is the only known surviving copy — and belonged to Christopher Lee himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReproduced from Lee’s personal copy, the script includes his handwritten notes and annotations made during filming, providing a unique insight into the creation of one of Hammer’s most iconic horror films and the performance that would define Lee’s career as Dracula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in a premium slipcased hardback edition, this is an essential addition to any Hammer collection — and a rare opportunity to explore the creative process behind one of the studio’s greatest films through the eyes of the man who became its legendary Count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Official Script Collection opens the Hammer archive to reveal the films behind the films — the stories that changed, evolved and, sometimes, were never made at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS ITEM IS A PRE-ORDER, IF IN STOCK ITEMS ARE ORDERED AT THE SAME TIME AS THIS ITEM, THE WHOLE ORDER WILL BE HELD UNTIL THIS ITEM IS IN STOCK.
