Script in Progress: First Draft

Below I have included the first draft of the script we will be using to provide direction and assistance to both the actors and the crew. As this is only a first draft, Zach and I will collude  on our ideas and are open to the fact that the script in it's current form is open to be edited and is very unlikely to remain in it's current form. As Zach and I have come up with different versions of the script at this point in time we will collaborate our ideas and form one script together as we are both working together on the project. Once this is complete, we will begin our filming once our cast has been finalised.

 

Old Habits Die Hard

Low Angle Camera shot of Toby’s feet walking, one shoe sliding in front of the other.  He approaches a door. We see one hand, his right; go for the door handle and a match on action shot of his hand pulling the door handle down. Cut to: long shot of Toby walking away, hood drawn up over his face. (In the opening moments of the trailer, be careful not to catch Toby’s face; the audience should never see his face during these opening shots of the sequence so as to maintain the mystery surrounding the character’s anonymity).  Cut to another close up shot of the crest of Toby’s hood, covering his eyes.

Toby Scott: There are times in your life when everything you worked for goes down. When you’re climbing the Everest of the social class mountain from the bottom all the way to the top, riding a wave. So you have to take shortcuts; risks. You don’t choose to do ’em you’re forced into ‘em. They say you can get addicted to a certain type of madness. A craze. An addiction. So that one day you wake up and you want it so bad you’d go so fuckin’ hard and fast to get  exactly what you want. Not for pleasure. Just to survive. To drag yourself out of a shithole and into the light of normality.

Cut to scene of Marty and Toby

Marty: I thought you were done with this shit bro?

Toby: Yeah, well I was never one to keep my promises. I’m back in the game. 

 (Cut to: shot of a car wheel arch rolling into view.. Thug in a hoodie presses the baseball bat against the driver’s side window of Toby Cut to close up shot of driver’s feet reactions. Foot coming up off clutch, going down on accelerator) Sombre music

Then you have to wake up to reality that you ain’t ever going to get there unless you try hard.

 (Montage of car chases and gun fights)

Vincent: I believe you owe us something my friend

Toby: A long time ago perhaps. Today both you and I know I don’t owe you shit.

Vincent: You’re correct there. You owe me money!

(Running, chase sequence)

Creegan: Run for your fucking life!

(Toby runs: Release date flickers on to the screen from a street lamp. Fade to black)
