ready to film (or shoot)


Explanation:
In my opinion, the translation of this sentence is made difficult because you can't really fit the structure into an English context. My sugguestion: Preparation of the screenplay which is ready to be filmed or filmable.

I would say film or shoot because the word is pertaining particularly to the screenplay.
