The Storybook Is Out

Curiously, several days before even Storytelling's limited opening, Faber and Faber's published screenplay hits the streets. First , to answer what is probably your biggest question (it certainly was mine), this does not feature the excised material with James van der Beek, Heather Matarazzo, and Emanuelle Chriqui, nor is there any mention of it in the introduction or anywhere else, except this line at the top of the credits, "Storytelling was firsat shown (in a slightly different cut) at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2001." For the record, the infamous van der Beek stuff did not show at Cannes, either.

Besides the screenplay, Faber and Faber's Storytelling also features "Unhappiness," a two-page introduction by Bruce Wagner, and some black & white photos. Check out a cover scan below:
