Summary/Abstract: The film “Anna Karenina” (2012) by Joe Wright, the script of the film by Tom Stoppard and the classical novel “Anna Karenina” by Leo Tolstoy are compared. The cultural, historical and economical aspects influencing scriptwriting are studied. The issue of whether it is possible to call a screenwriter a writer in the full sense of the word is under consideration. The final result of screenwriters and film directors’ cooperation in the process of film production is examined. The theory of script writing and different character classifications are discussed. Konstantin Levin’s peculiar function of the second protagonist in the script is determined and distinguished from the one in the film.
