Think of it in terms of rights - you wouldn't be able to submit a screenplay using established characters without getting the rights to do so.

Not your original rights? Not an original screenplay.

- If you write a sequel I would assume you'd be using at least one character from the first movie, which you would need the rights to do. -- nm - Max Jan 24, 15:02 5

    - ah, then my comparison fails because it's not truly a rights issue. Does the script originate characters/environments or use ones already known? -- nm - Max Jan 24, 15:11 2

        Then if it uses something previously known, it's not Original. - Max Jan 24, 15:15
