{"value"=>"<p>Film and Television Projects covers Didion and Dunne's screenwriting work. The series holds screenplay and script drafts (often with interfiled notes), rewrites, and polishes; research materials; dailies and wrap party video recordings; correspondence; notes; plot outlines; and character breakdowns created and compiled by Didion and Dunne from the 1960s to 2012.</p> <p>Film projects constitute the bulk of the series, which includes both produced and unproduced projects. Didion and Dunne maintained files from various producers, screenwriters, and agencies who contacted the couple to determine their interest in, and sometimes advice about, a project. Also present are items related to an unproduced television show <span class=\"title\">The City</span>.</p> <p>The subseries also details Didion and Dunne's working relationship with the producer Scott Rudin and director Jon Avnet. This is evident through meeting notes, correspondence, plot outlines, and screenplay drafts from <span class=\"title\">Up Close & Personal</span>, <span class=\"title\">Before You Go</span> (unproduced), Untitled Tom Dooley/Dr. America Project (unproduced) and <span class=\"title\">Red Corner</span> (1997).</p> <p>Some film projects in this series are interconnected with titles from Didion and Dunne's Books and Journalism subseries. Dunne's novel <span class=\"title\">Playland</span> (1994) was based on Didion and Dunne's unproduced screenplay of the same name. Likewise, some of Didion's research files created for <span class=\"title\">Miami</span> (1987) reappear as background research for <span class=\"title\">The Ice Queen</span> screenplay. Additionally, there are screenplay adaptations of Didion and Dunne's books. Some of their adaptations were not produced or were produced after their deaths.</p> <p>Contracts for each project can be found in Series V: Morton L. Leavy Legal Files.</p> <p>Be advised that some of Didion and Dunne's notes in the <span class=\"title\">Zone of Silence</span> UFO project include words that can be harmful and offensive.</p>"}
