Script Writing

I started out the day with a vague idea about a love story between Marcus and Van and it turned into something dark and disturbed and I love it! Initially, I wanted Marcus to end up with Van somehow, but I wans't quite sure how I wanted this to take place. Therefore, I mentally started thinking about a cool intro to a movie and I came up with this...

Scene 1: Marcus walking down a stone hallway inside a jail cell looking for his best friend Daryll and his girlfriend Ange after he just dismantled the Department of Homeland Security. A voice over is discussing betrayal of trust pertaining to friends and women. A security camera follows his progress down the hall. Close up on his face... focused... determined to find his friends.

Scene 2: Marcus enters into a high security room... to a sight that will change his world. He walks in on Ange and Daryll passionately intertwined. Marcus is horrified. His whole world has been shattered. His best friend and his girlfriend... Ange calls out to him to wait as he runs away.

Scene 3: Sitting alone on his bed... Marcus is wearing all black. He's a dark and disturbed young man... sorta like Spider Man 3 when he starts a black Spiderman suit. He's lost all faith in humanity. Suddenly, his cell phone beeps. Nobody talks to Marcus anymore, he had cut off all ties with humanity.
Cell Phone Screen : VAN: Hey... I Need To Talk To You. Can You Meet Me At Our Spot?

Scene 4: (Van and Marcus' meeting... need to think more deeply about conversation that takes place... general idea that Marcus will say very little at first while Van tries to explain a lot of things and he will gradually warm up and start talking about his feelings and then this scene will conclude with them smiling at each other bceause they've made amends)

Scene 5: *several months later* Marcus is happy again. Voice over explains that he and Van rekindled their friendship and are now dating. Camera walks behind them holding hands. Focuses in from the front of them laughing and enjoying each others presence after Marcus tells a nerdy technology joke. They see Ange and Daryll drive by in Daryll's new convertible. Marcus follows them with his eyes as they drive past. Suddenly at the intersection their car gets T-boned by a semi-truck. They both die instantly. Screen goes black. The following words appear : "Karma's a Bitch"
