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

  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/
