Universal posts entire 'This Is 40' screenplay on its 'For Your Consideration' site

This-Is-40

Want a sneak peek at This Is 40, Judd Apatow’s upcoming semi-sequel to Knocked Up? Youcould watch the film’s nearly three-minute-long trailer… or you could just go to Universal’sspecial awards season website, which is currently hosting a PDF of the movie’s full screenplay. The page also has subsections devoted to Dr. Seuss’ The LoraxSnow White and the HuntsmanTed, and Les Miserables. Every one of them includes a screenplay, except forLes Mis.
That makes sense; while the first three films have already been released, Tom Hooper’s musical won’t hit theaters until Christmas Day. But This Is 40 also isn’t getting released until December — making the studio’s decision to post its screenplay seem curious, at the very least. Then again, it’s likely that the film’s actual dialogue varies greatly from what’s on the page; Apatow is known for encouraging his actors to improvise.
In any case: The curious and impatient can find a PDF of the script here. It is, of course, NSFW, although there are no images to go with its descriptions of Viagra-fueled sex and gynecological visits.
