[test] IndieTalk.com Screenplay

The other thread about the "Wiki" screenplay has been around for a little while. And i figured if someone didnt take action, nothing would get done. So here :

Each post you add a scene. The poster after you adds onto it, and eventually we get a movie. So dont post just discussing, make another thread if you want to discuss it. This thread is strictly for additions to the IndieTalk screenplay. DISCUSSION THREAD http://indietalk.com/showthread.php?p=12683#post12683

If you post messing around or just screwing it up, I'm sure the Mods will delete it, if not I'll ask them to. And by mess/screw it up i mean stupid stuff like "LOLLERS POKE PUT ON A SHIRT AM I RITE?" (we all remember that fool dont we? :D ) Or writing out a scene in the format but....with ridiculous content. For example :

INT. GAY BAR
In the back room we see CommanderGoat popping pills that raise his estrogen level, so that he can finally complete his transformation from male to female! laffo!

(info on the backstory/inside joke is in this thread http://indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=4678 )

Try to use real script format. Doesn't have to be exact, but try to use atleast INT. or EXT. when describing locations, for example : INT. RIZIEN'S ROOM.

Use Indent for actions, center for speech. (dont use quickreply to write these)

And lets use Courier New for the font, type this before and after you're script
*FONT=Courier New]
SCENE
*/FONT]

Where * = [ (you all know the code...[] )

Here are some(not all) common Screenplay Abbreviations:

B.G. = Background
F.G. = Foreground
P.O.V.= Point of View
V.O. = Voice Over
INT. = Interior
EXT. = Exterior
SFX. = Sound Effects (ie. SFX: The BLAST of a train whistle )
SPFX = Special Effects (Only when you KNOW you need SPFX, like "Rizien becomes a super ferret, and stomps on the evil ZENWEASEL!)
CGI = Computer Generated Image, basically the same usage as SPFX...


Other than that...lets get creative.

Summary of Rules:
1. One scene at a time.
2. No Discussion
3. Serious contributions only
4. Be creative and have fun!

INT. OFFICE
We see two young men in suits talking to a MAN at the desk. The MAN is turned around, all you can see is the back of his chair.​

YOUNG MAN 1
I'm sorry sir, it wont happen again. I promise.​

YOUNG MAN 2 just nods with his head down and his hands behind his back. MAN turns around in his swivel chair, and has a long scar going down his Left Eye.​

MAN
You're right. It wont!​

MAN pulls out a shotgun and blasts the buckshot round into YOUNGMAN 1's chest. YOUNG MAN 2 looks over in shock, he's speechless.​

MAN
to YOUNG MAN 2 Go on, get out of here, you know what you have to do.​

YOUNG MAN 2 hurries out of the room, shutting the door behind him.​

 


EXT. CORN FIELD - DAY

The young man is dressed in overalls and a blue and red flannel shirt. He looks up and sheilds his eyes from the glare of the sun. He looks at his watch.

INSERT

His watch reads 1:04 PM.

In the distance, we begin to hear the hum of a single engine plane. The young man looks in the direction the hum is coming from. The sound gets louder and we can now see a small spec against the brilliant blue sky. As the plane draws closer, the young man begins to wave his arms in the air, signaling the pilot.

The plane flies over head.

INT. PLANE - SAME

The PILOT sits in the cockpit. Through his POV we see the young man in the middle of the vast corn field. He chuckles at the young man's over emphatic arm waving.

PILOT
(under his breath)​
Like I couldn't see your shirt from a mile away.​

The pilot reaches into his breast pocket and pulls out an envelope. He holds it out of a small window on the side of the cockpit and drops it.

EXT. CORN FIELD - SAME

The young man eys the small, flittering, white object until it reaches the ground. He begins running in the direction where it fell to earth.

EXT. FARM - DAY

We are in the back yard of a rural Farm House.

The envelope is sitting in front of the opening of a large dog house. In the opening of the dog house sits a St. Bernard. The dog is eyeing the envelope with only the smallest amount of interest.

The young man comes slowly out of the corn field. He moves to the envelope. The dog lets out a small puff from the side of it's mouth, a lazy dog's excuse for a bark. The young man smiles at the dog and picks up the envelope. He pats the dog's head, and the dog let's out another puff.

He begins to walk away when a man's voice from off camera bellows out.

FARMER (O.C.)
This here's private property, Mister.​

In one swift move, the young man turns and draws a 9mm Beretta.

The FARMER is standing on the back steps of the house. He begins to mutter something, but the young man puts two bullets in his chest before a sound comes out of his mouth. The farmer falls back against the door jam and slides down into a crouch. He grabs at his bloody chest, takes a last hitching breath, and keels over dead - half in the door, half on the steps.

The young man's steady face is betrayed by his shakey gun hand. He wipes at his brow even though there is no sweat. A scream comes from the house.

FARMER'S WIFE (O.C.)
(frantic)​
Charles!?​

The young man mutters a curse under his breath. He walks into the house, stepping over the body of the farmer.

From inside we hear screams of confusion which turn to screams of outright terror. Then we hear two gun shots and the screams stop.

After a moment, the young man stumbles hurriedly out of the door. He runs for the corn field, but doesn't make it before he vomits. He takes a moment to steady himself then walks slowly back into the corn field.

As he passes the dog houses, the St. Bernard let's out another of it's lazy puffs.

EXT. FARMHOUSE - NIGHT


Headlights illuminate the porch of a small farmhouse. YOUNG MAN 2 paces around near the porch. He is talking on a CELL PHONE


YOUNG MAN 2
Yes. Not a problem sir. I'm here now, I'll take care of it.


YOUNG MAN 2 hangs up and tosses his CELL PHONE into the car. He reaches through the passenger window and pops the trunk.


YOUNG MAN 2
(To himself)
Dammit Billy, why do you insist on leaving
these messes for me to deal with?


YOUNG MAN 2 removes a FLASHLIGHT and a SMALL BAG from the trunk and heads into the house.

INT. FARMHOUSE - NIGHT


At the base of a stairway in the main hall, YOUNG MAN 2 kneels over the body of the FARMER'S WIFE. A Flashlight lays on the first step pointing at the woman. YOUNG MAN 2 opens the SMALL BAG and removes an EXACTO KNIFE and NEEDLENOSE PLIERS.


YOUNG MAN 2
Just once, can't he do something right?


YOUNG MAN 2 stabs the knife into the woman, enlarging one of the two bullet wounds. He proceeds to dig around in the wound with the pliers, until he finds and removes the bullet. YOUNG MAN 2 now repeats the process on the second bullet wound.


YOUNG MAN 2 places the extracted bullets into a pouch on the side of the small bag which contains numerous other extracted bullets, and puts the knife and pliers back inside the bag.


INT. FARMHOUSE BASEMENT - NIGHT


YOUNG MAN 2 cuts through the gas line feeding the furnace with a large BOLT CUTTER. He tosses the bolt cutter aside, and heads up the stairs.


INT. FARMHOUSE KITCHEN - NIGHT


YOUNG MAN 2 washes his hands, and leaves the HOT WATER on. He lights a cigarette.


EXT. FARMHOUSE - NIGHT


YOUNG MAN 2 exits the house, drags the FARMER's body back through the door, and exits again. He takes one last puff of his cigarette and flicks it to the ground.


EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - NIGHT


YOUNG MAN 2 drives slowly down the road away from the farm. A SAINT BERNARD rides in the passenger seat, its head hanging out the window.


INT. CAR - NIGHT


YOUNG MAN 2 picks up his cell phone and hits redial.


YOUNG MAN 2
Sir. Jack. Yeah, it's done.


JACK hangs up the phone, and sets it down. He pets the Saint Bernard and continues to drive, with an emotionless face.


A large fireball erupts into the night sky behind the car. JACK's face slowly changes to a smile, and he tears off down the dirt road.
