Hi. Copyright comes into existence upon creation. Registration is simply a process for valid dated evidence. You can definitely use the copyright symbol and the words All Rights Reserved and show the script to the Production House without fear. For additional security, you can also register it with the FWA - Film Writers Association. Please ensure that during e-mails being exchanged ensure to add a copyright disclaimer. If you need any assistance with that we can guide you.
