Sunset Script. http://www.sunsetscript.com/

Is your material commercial? Will your screenplay sell to Hollywood? Will A-List actors want to star in your movie? Does your plot work for the big screen? Can your screenplay be summed up in 25 words or less? What will the movie poster look like?
Sunset Script will assist you in answering these questions and in getting your script to the top of that massive pile. In this high stakes battle for silver screen space and executive eyeballs, you can¹t afford not to have your script in the best possible condition before decision makers read it.
