English isn't my native language, but I know it isn't the same thing :
draft (plural drafts)
An early version of a written work [also spelled draught].
I have to revise the first draft of my term paper.
script (plural scripts)
The written document containing the dialogue and action for a drama; the text of a stage play, movie, or other performance. Especially, the final form used for the performance itself.
Do you see the difference between an "early version" and the final form ?
Thank you Nate, which part do you agree with ?

Vlam, when people discuss film scripts during various stages of production they call it a draft. It may not end up being the final script used during actual production but it's still a full 90+ page script fully written out with dialogue, action etc. It's not just a general outline.
Writers etc just call them "drafts". As in "this is the fourth draft of the script" - which means the script has been rewritten 4 times. The shooting script is generally known as the "final draft", vlam.
Your objection that somehow a draft of the Oddworld movie script existing has little merit makes no sense. Even though it isn't the finalised script it's still a fully written script. I'm actually trying to be informative, here.
