What is the font size for typical hollywood movie scripts?!
Question: Before popular films are released, the spoken words are documented on a movie script. The script is read by actors and actresses in order for them to rehearse their lines for the movie when the scene is being filmed in action. Does anyone have a web site link of an official authentic movie script so I can see what the font size the script is typed in?

Professional screenplays are always printed in 12-point Courier, or another fixed-width font that appears like typewriter type.
--------------------------------------...
Courier is a monospaced slab serif typeface designed to resemble the output from a strike-on typewriter. The typeface was designed by Howard "Bud" Kettler in 1955. The design of the original Courier New typeface was commissioned in the 1950s by IBM for use in typewriters, but they did not secure legal exclusivity to the typeface and it soon became a standard font used throughout the typewriter industry. As a monospaced font, it has recently found renewed use in the electronic world in situations where columns of characters must be consistently aligned. It has also become an industry standard for all screenplays to be written in 12 point Courier or a close variant, and it is widely used by computer programmers to write source code.
12 point Courier New was also the U.S. State Department's standard typeface until January 2004, when it was replaced with 14 point Times New Roman. Reasons for the change included the desire for a more "modern" and "legible" font.
Kettler was once quoted about how the name was chosen. The font was nearly released with the name "Messenger." After giving it some thought, Kettler said, "A letter can be just an ordinary messenger, or it can be the courier, which radiates dignity, prestige, and stability."
Courier New
Courier New is a version of Courier redrawn by Adrian Frutiger for the IBM Selectric series. The font family comprises Courier New, Courier New Bold, Courier New Italic, Courier New Bold Italic.
The font family was first introduced with Windows 3.1, which also included raster Courier fonts. Courier New features higher line space than the Courier. Punctuation marks are reworked to make the dots and commas heavier.
Version 2.76 or later includes Hebrew and Arabic glyphs, with most of Arabic added on non-italic fonts. The styling of Arabic glyphs is similar to those found in Times New Roman, but are adjusted to be monospaced.
Courier New has been updated to version 5.00; which includes over 3100 glyphs, covering over 2700 characters per font.
Although the fonts are produced by Monotype (who also owns the Courier trademark and the Courier New copyrights), only Ascender Coporation sells the fonts commercially. The Ascender fonts have 'WGL' at the end of the font name, and cover only the WGL characters.
