Screenplays
Awards season is in full swing which has the pleasant side effect that a large number of screenplays become available. Ropeofsilicon has collected links to 29 of them so I just have to link to their post. Among the scripts available are Django Unchained, Silver Linings Playbook, The Master, Looper, Lincoln, Beasts of the Southern Wild and Moonrise Kingdom. While Warner Bros. has an awards site, they don't seem to make their scripts freely available. I only found one for Cloud Atlas.
The list of Oscar nominations at IMDb for easy database access, and the trailer overview at Apple, as far as available.
Upstream Color HD480p 35MB HD720p 86MB
The full trailer for Shane Carruth's second movie after his fascinating low-budget time-travel movie Primer he made nine years ago. It's a romantic thriller that will premiere in Sundance in a couple of days. Judging from the footage and the summary it will be again (thankfully) not easy to digest. A young woman (Amy Seimetz) is derailed from her life when she is drugged by a small-time thief. But something bigger is going on. She is unknowingly drawn into the life cycle of a presence that permeates the microscopic world, moving to nematodes, plant life, livestock, and back again. Along the way, she finds another being (Carruth) — a familiar, who is equally consumed by the larger force. The two search urgently for a place of safety within each other as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of their wrecked lives.
Also, an earlier second teaser: HD480p HD720p.
Mud HD480p 27MB HD720p 54MB
Coming-of-age drama centred around two fourteen-year-old boys (one of them Tye Sheridan from The Tree of Life) who encounter a mysterious fugitive called Mud (Matthew McConaughey) hiding out on an island in the Mississippi. Intrigued by this man, they enter into a pact to help him evade capture and reconnect with the love of his life (Reese Witherspoon). Though it is hard for the boys to discern truth from fiction when it comes to Mud, it isn't long until their small Arkansas town is besieged by a beautiful girl with a line of hunters in tow. Also part of the cast are Sam Shepard, Michael Shannon and Sarah Paulson. Written and directed by Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter, Shotgun Stories).

From Chile, one of the nominees for Best Foreign Language Film. Based on a true story, when Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet, facing international pressure, calls for a referendum on his presidency in 1988, opposition leaders persuade a brash young advertising executive (Gael García Bernal), to spearhead their campaign. With scant resources and constant scrutiny by the despot's watchmen he and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and free their country from oppression. Directed by Pablo Larraín (Tony Manero).
The movie is filmed in a way to make it look like the historical footage that is also used which I find a bit difficult. You can choose between the US and the UK trailer version.
Kon-Tiki 480p 23MB 720p 36MB
And a trailer for Norway's nomination for Best Foreign Language Film that recounts one of the great real-life adventures of the twentieth century. In 1947, explorer and ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl began an 8,000-kilometre voyage across the Pacific on a balsa wood raft with a rather motley and inexperienced crew, in a dangerous attempt to prove his theory that Polynesia was populated by settlers from South America, rather than Asia as widely assumed by the scientific community. Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg (Max Manus, Bandidas).
