You might like to have a look at the new screenplay package that was
uploaded to CTAN some weeks ago.

>From the CTAN-announce message:

  Name of contribution: Screenplay
  Author's name: John Pate
  Author's email: johnny at dvc.org.uk
  Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/screenplay
  Summary description: LaTeX .cls file to provide formatting as
    recommended by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

  Announcement text: 
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  I'm uploading this .cls file in the hope more experienced LaTeX users 
  can improve it.  However, it currently produces what I consider useful 
  results.  For more information, see http://dvc.org.uk/sacrific.txt/
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  This package is located at 
     http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/screenplay
  .  More information is at
     http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=screenplay
