:Powers Script

Post by MadCowFilms »

Hey. I'm knew here. I make films, just like the majority (or probably all) of the people here. I'm 11 (don't flame me for being so young) but my films are pretty good, and I've posted all my best ones on YouTube. My website is:

www.freewebs.com/themadcowfilms

And you can see my films on YouTube by following the links on the "YouTube Links" page. Anyways, I have written a script for a new film. I have started filming it, and I just wanted to know what you thought of the script. Here it is...

:Powers
A Film by Adam Tindall

Fade Up:

EXT. JONATHON’s Lair - Day

A Military looking building. Two guards are patrolling up and down with machine guns. They are wearing all black clothes and black balaclavas.

SUBTITLE:
An Abandoned Military Building
11:32 AM, September 15, 2006

The camera quickly zooms into the building.

INT. JONATHON’s Lair – Day

A boy is walking up and down in a room. There is a guard near the door.

JONATHON
Dammit! I’m sick of this bodies stupid limitations!

He walks over to GUARD #1, pointing his finger at him.

JONATHON
I used to be big you know. People would hear my name in the street and run with fear.

JONATHON walks back and continues pacing.

GUARD #1
Don’t worry sir. You’ll soon be back to your past glory.

JONATHON turns to look at GUARD #1.

JONATHON
I better be. I’ve been stuck like this for nearly a centaury! I wish the Gods could just hurry up and pick some more people for Powers…

The Last word echoes on as it fades out into black.

The Mad Cow presents…

DARREN

Freezes a still image on SAM’s face.

SUBTITILE:
*Actor’s Name*

Stop Freeze.

SAM
Bingo!

TIM
‘Ent we supposed to be meeting James at the rec?

DARREN
Yeah.

They all get up from the table; walk out of the kitchen and out of the front door. Sam trips slightly on the way out.

Fade into Black.

:Powers

Fade to:

EXT. Recreational Ground - Day

TIM, DARREN and SAM stager on to the ground of the rec. They’re looking around everywhere.

SAM
Awww MAN! Where the hell is he! He said he’d be here!

TIM
Yeah!

DARREN
WOW!!!

DARREN goes flying back and onto the floor, unconscious.

TIM and SAM
DARREN!

They go towards DARREN.

SAM
ARRRGGGHHHH!!!

SAM goes flying backwards.

TIM
SAM!

TIM goes towards SAM, but then everything goes black and white. He turns around in surprise and in fear. A voice comes out of no where.

RASHU
Hello Tim.

TIM looks around, trying to find where the voice is coming from.

TIM
Where the hell are you!? More importantly, what the hell are you!?

RASHU
One of the Gods.

TIM is still looking around.

TIM
There’s more than one God?

RASHU
Stop interrupting! I spent one century thinking of this speech and I’m not having you mess it up!

TIM raises his hands as if he has committed a crime and has just been caught by the police.

TIM
Okay…

RASHU
Tim, you and your friends, have been chosen for Powers. Every centaury, three boys are chosen for this special gift to protect the world from vampires, demons and the forces of evil.

TIM
Dude, I don’t want these!

The black and white fades into Technicolor.

TIM
Dude? DUDE!?

Fades to black.

Fades to:

INT. JONATHON’s Lair – Day

JONATHON is pacing, with GUARD #1 at the door.

JONATHON
ARRRGGGGHHH!!!

JONATHON goes flying back. There are a few flashes as JONATHON gets a vision of TIM, DARREN and SAM.

GUARD #1
SIR!!!

GUARD #1 rushes towards JONATHON.

JONATHON
Stay back!

GUARD #1 Stops.

GUARD #1
What is it?

JONATHON breathes deeply. He is sat on the floor, back against the wall.

JONATHON
Finally! Three have been chosen for Powers!

JONATHON gets another flashy vision of TIM.

JONATHON
Just - just go and find the boy –

Another flashy vision of TIM.

JONATHON
Tim. Tim Dawson.

Fade out.

Fade to:

INT. TIM’s House – Day

TIM walks into his house and up to his bedroom. He collapses on the bed and falls to sleep. A clip of a speeded up clock going from Nine o’clock to Ten o’clock. TIM slowly wakes up and sits on his bed. He runs his hand over his face.

TIM
(Not Speaking just thinking) God, that was one hell of a dream.

TIM gets up and walks down stairs, but he is actually walking with super speed, though he does not know it. He carries on walking with super speed to the lounge, where he stops as he realises something is wrong. He walks up and down the lounge with super speed, stopping at each end. He stops in the middle of the room, moves his arms as he is getting into a battle pose in super speed and stops.

TIM
Wow…

Suddenly the doorbell rings. TIM uses super speed to get to it. He opens the door. SAM and DARREN are there.

DARREN
We need to talk.

Cut to:

TIM, DARREN and SAM are sat in the lounge.

SAM
We… have… Super Powers?

TIM
Yeah…

DARREN
What actually happened at the rec.?

TIM
One of the Gods talked to me –

SAM
There’s more than one?

TIM
SHUT IT! Anyway, he said something about we all get super powers and we use them to fight off… well… demons…

DARREN
I really don’t believe that cr**.

TIM
Believe it or not, it’s happened.

TIM gets up off the sofa and stretches.

TIM
Soooo… What super powers did you guys get?

SAM stretches out for a cushion.

SAM
Super strength!

SAM throws the cushion at Darren.

DARREN
OW!

TIM
Jesus, STOP IT! Darren, what “powerâ€
