PAGE ONE – 6 PANELS.
1.1 Wide. THE RUMOR walks down the steps of the Hargreeves mansion.
Her shadow falls long across the lawn as the light from the house seeps out
into the blank starkness of the cold evening.
NO COPY.
1.2 The feet of The Rumor as she walks
across the grass away from us towards the base plinth of a large stone statue
that stands alone and tall in the centre of the empty garden. (The Statue is
out of frame.)
NO COPY.
1.3 Close up on The Rumor. Her face half in
shadow, her eyes closed tight.
THE RUMOR: I heard a rumor…
1.4 Wide. The Rumor on her knees at the
base of the memorial statue of her adopted brother BEN HARGREEVES (THE HORROR)
the stature shows him in mask and cape, his hero look. Large tentacles sprout
from the torso of the stone statue.
We are looking up at the statue as The
Rumor looks down at the ground unable to look at her dear brother.
THE RUMOR (Small) : …That you didn’t die
1.5 Tight on The Rumor, we see half her face
and one of her shoulders. Her eye is wide open, a tear filling in the corner.
Her mouth has dropped and is as dry as the sun. A man’s hand rests on her
shoulder.
THE RUMOR: Ben?
1.6 Pull out. The Rumor is still on her
knees. The Kraken (Diego Hargreeves) stands behind her his hand on her
shoulder.
The Rumor quietly weeps into her hands.
KRAKEN: Even you can’t fix this one kid.
Jeez, Shaun, *sniff*, that was both tonally perfect and touchingly heartfelt. You really nail that sense of loss and grief, and the fact that you have Kraken play the shoulder role is a great choice. Nicely played, sir.
ReplyDeleteI get the feeling from this script that she goes out there every night :)
