INT. BEGINING - NIGHT |
|
|
We see the a hidden government complex deep underground the
city of New Haven. We sweep through the cooridoors pushing
past scientists. The camera moves to a door where we see a
test subject being inject with the devastating doomsday
virus. The subject reacts violently as it slowly re-animates
to the living dead. Scientist give congrats to each other.
But the subject suddenly turns over-reactent. |
|
|
| |
SCIENTIST 2 (FRIGHTENED)
(Scientist 1)
Holy Shit! Hurry. The test subject
is gettin outta control. Get a
squad down here quick! |
|
|
|
The second scientist runs off. We see the "zombie" move
toward the hapless and frightened scientist. We see the
shadow of the zombie come close to the scientist. A scream
is heard and blood is splattered all over the adjacent wall. |
|
|
| |
SCIENTIST 2 (SCARED SHITLESS)
BOB!! Oh My God! |
|
|
|
The camera pans over to Bob(scientist 1). We see whats left
of him as the zombie is still munching on his body. Dillan
(scientist 2) grabs the MP's gun and puts a few bullets in
the zombie. The zombie staggers up to Dillan and rips his
neck open and then starts to munch on the MP. The camera
backs outta the room as screams are heard. Then the zombie
looks up at the camera and opens its mouth to chomp it..the
camera then cuts to static. Title Runs and opening credits
are played. |

After Opening Credits are over.Screen fades into a dream.
Its Nick's dream. Its more like a nightmare. We see the
horror as Nick lies there dying in his dream. Andrew Defeats
the turned Kegan. As that happens, the dream flashes to him
bein put on a stretcher and slipped into an ambulance. He
looks up at the doctor to see what he's doing, but the
doctor is a zombie as it goes in to munch on Nick. Nick

|
|
|
| |
ALEC

|
|
|

Nick Looks frightenly at Alec. |
|
|
| |
NICK

|
|
|
| |
ALEC
I know enought that you and two
other people survived that nite of
horror. That nite where your home
town was subject to the doomsday
virus. When they were turned into
flesh craving zombies. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK (SCARED)
How? I never told anyone about

|
| |
ALEC
(Cross to Nick)
Oh..you werent the only survivor
some of your buddies that helped
ya made it. Ya know Kegan, and
Andrew. They made it. But Andrew
was taken by the Military. Kegan
was shipped to another town under
the watch of my organization. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
What organization? How do you know
all of this? Tell Me now!!! |
|
|
|
| |
ALEC
(Calms Nick)
Chill out..its ok. Im part of an
organization that is known as the
Death Guard. We silently watch the
government's handling of the
doomsday virus. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
So your helping the Government? Is
that it. Your a spy for them, to
tell them how my well being is
after they ruin my whole life. |
|
|
|
5.
|
| |
ALEC
No. We're not part of any
government sanction. We're on our
own. We're trying everything to
stop the Government from
reinstituting the doomsday virus
back into the population. We saved
you and your friend Kegan. We
stuck you here with your relative.
Kegan we have relocated in another
town. But Andrew was picked up by
the government before we could get
to him. Anyways.. I had to find
you. We've stumbled upon the plans
to the reinstittution of the
doomsday virus. Its Next location
is here. And we cant stop it. We
have to fight it again. And your
the only... |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
(Cuts him off)
..Im the only hope this town has.
Thats great, once again the
bastards are ruining my life.
Don't they think they've done
enough. Just because they screw my
life once doesnt mean they can do
it again. So how is everyone gonna
be infected, like last time,
introduced by a bomb. |
|
|
|
| |
ALEC
Its already been introduced.
Everyone is infected. Except for
you, Kegan and maybe a few people
plus my organization. You
see..Keagan and you are immune to
the virus now, you've been
infected and cured. So your our
best bet. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
So now that everyone is infected,
when does the virus kick in? |
|
|
|
6.
|
| |
ALEC
Nite fall..We dont have much time.
I've gotta get you back to HQ so
we can get you around. |
|
|
|
Nick sits there. Looking into space. He remembers the last
incident. He lost everyone but his closest friends. He looks
at Alec and stands up. |
|
|
| |
NICK
All right. But I have to get some
stuff at my house. Come get me in
about an hour. I will be ready. |
|
|
|
| |
ALEC
Fine. Keagan is on route now. He
will arrive in about an hour. I
will get you then. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
Aight. (starts to run off) dont
forget..an hour.. |
|
|
|
Nick is seen running off. Screen fades as he runs
off..Screen opens to see nick with various items on the bed,
packing them into a bag. He hears a knocking at the door and
grabs his bag and runs downstairs. Nick answers the door and
see Alec. |
|
|

|
INT. COMPLEX - DAY |
|
|
The car pulls up to the Complex. Nick and Alec get out and
head inside. We see one set of stairs as they decend down.
The next thing we see is devices all around with various
people working on them. Alec leads Nick to a conference room
where twelve people are sitting around a table. Nick takes a
seat at the end of the table. |
|
|

|
| |
SCIENTIST 2
(Actually a
chairman)
Welcome Nick, We've been expecting
you. |
|
|
|
Nick Looks around the table, seeing if Keagan happened to be
in the room. |
|
|
| |
NICK
Where is Keagan? I need to talk to
him now. |
|
|
|
| |
SCIENTIST 2
(Chairman)
He's gearing up. You can talk to
him after you answer a few of our
quetions. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
Why should I answer your
questions? Why should I trust you?
|
|
|
|
| |
SCIENTIST 2
(Chairman)
It doesnt matter. You are one of
the survivors of the doomsday
virus' first test run rite? |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
Yes. Im one, Keagan is one, and
Andrew..who i dont know where he
is. But I thought you guys already
knew that. |
|
|
|
| |
SCIENTIST 2
(Chairman)
We had to make sure. You will be
taken to see Keagan now. Just
follow Alec. |
|
|
|
Nick and Alec get up and Alec shows Nick the way. They make
their way down more corridoors. The turn the corner and run
into two armed guards. |
|
|
8.
|
| |
MP
You must come with us Nick. |
|
|
|
| |
ALEC
But I was givin authority to show
Nick to keagan. |
|
|
|
| |
MP
(Guard 2)
Not anymore. You are relieved of
command. Continue with your
earlier duties. We will escort
Nick to keagan from here. |
|
|
|
| |
ALEC
Aight. (leans towards Nick)
Something is not right...keep your
guard up. |
|
|
|
Nick nods his head and follows the guards. The guards take
him down a narrow corridoor. They take his bag from him and
throw him into a cell. |
|
|
| |
NICK
(Confused)
What in the Hell? Whats going on
here? Get me outta here right now. |
|
|
|
| |
MP
(Guard 1)
Shut up! Enjoy your new life now.
Your detained. The doomsday virus
will go as planned and there is
nothing you can do about it. And
soon you will become as one of
them. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
Fuck that. You guys will never
win. I will get outta here and you
will be sorry. I cannot let the
virus win again. |
|
|
|
9.
|
The guards walk off laughing. Nick sits down on the cot and
looks around the cell. He sees a bloody hump in the middle
of the ground. Its keagan. He moves down towards keagan and
shakes him awake. |
|
|
| |
KEGAN
No! Dont beat me again. Huh? Nick
is that you? God its good to see
you again. I wished on better
circumstances but hey we've been
in worse. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
I know. How long have you been
here? |
|
|
|
| |
KEGAN
Couple of days. They said you were
here. And they mentioned that
damned virus again. Nick we gotta
stop it. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
Its already too late Keagan. They
whole town is infected. We cant do
anything. |
|
|
|
| |
KEGAN
Then we blow the whole town. Thats
the only choice we got. Get as
many survivors as we can and blow
the whole damn town. |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
We cant do it from here Kegan. We
gotta get outta this cell.(Thinks) |
|
|
|
Several hours pass. Nick thinks about an escape. As he
thinks. Day turns into night. We see the population of the
town slowly turn into the undead, craving living flesh and
blood. We see the camera go back to the Cell. |
|
|
| |
NICK
I got it. Keagan! Fake a seizure.
Dont as why, just do it. |
|
|
|
10.
|
|
|
|
|
Keagan hits the cell floor and fakes a seizure. Nick runs to
the cell door yelling for the guards. The guards come
running in. They push nick outta the way and lean down and
look at Keagan. Keagan look up at them winks and punches
them both square in the face, knocking them out cold. |
|
|
| |
KEGAN
Damn that was easy. (tosses Nick a
gun) |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
yeah..lets go..lets find my
stuff..we gotta get outta here. |
|
|
|
They run outta the cell and down the coridoor. They run
around a corner and bump into Alec. |
|
|
| |
ALEC
What the hell? What happened? |
|
|
|
| |
NICK
No time to explain Alec. We gotta
get my stuff. Your organization is
helping the government and we
gotta blow the town. So where did
they stick my stuff? |
|
|
|
| |
ALEC
Its this way. Hurry! |
|
|
|
The three run down the coridoors and then Alec runs into a
room. Nick and Kegan follow. Nick grabs his stuff and starts
to head out. Nick, Keagan, and Alec encounter a squad of
guards. Both groups open fire. Bullets fly in all
directions. The guards fall like flies but before all were
killed, one shoots Alec. |
|
|
| |
NICK
Alec! NOOO!(Runs to Alec) |
|
|
|

We'll find something..lets go. |
|
|
|
Nick and Keagan start running down the street. They get down
a block and run smack in the middle of a zombie banquet. |
|
|
| |
KEGAN
Shit!!! Not this again! (starts to
fire into the crowd) |
|
|
|
Nick and Keagan take cover behind a car and open fire on the
crowd. The undead group moves on unphased and heads towards
their direction. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
12.
|
Just as Nick and Keagan think their dead, A dark figure
leaps outta the fog and into the middle of the crowd. Both
watch in amazement as the mysterious figure takes on the
undead horde. After finishing off the what was left, The
figure whips around, reloading his pistol and walks over to
Keagan and Nick. |

Just hold on. Im coming. Just on

|
|
|
Priest Runs down an alley and piles into 4 zombies slowly
lurching towards the beautiful Doran. The zombies turn
around to confront their enemy. Priest unholsters his
pistols in a flash and lets loose a barrage of bullets. The
zombies take the impact of the bullets but stagger forward.
Priest holsters his pistols and unsheaths his sword. Within
a few minutes what was a zombie horde..is nothing more but
body parts. Priest sheaths his sword and walks over to
Doran, who is amazed and awed. |
|
|
| |
PRIEST

|
|
|
Doran goes to respond but screams. Priest turns around and
is face to face to another zombie. Priest backhands the
zombie sending it fly backwards. The zombie lurches forward
and grabs ahold of Priest. With lighting quick reflexs,
priest pulls a dagger and runs it deep into the zombie. The
zombie falls to the ground and doesnt move. |

We might be able to save everyone

upon here. Its one helluva a cure.
I can rig a bomb to blow this
chemical everywhere. It wont
affect us, but the blast could
harm us. |
|
|
|

| ummm... not good. needs work. it can be good if you work on it. |

| I read the first 3 pages. The story is rushed. I don't know what is going on. The dream was about scientists and nick is a student at school but he experienced what the scientists did with the virus? It was never explained. The dialogue was boring. The characters have no backstory. There are no detailed discriptions of the characters. NEVER write the camera movements; that is up to the director. Plus zombie movies are played out. Do something original. |

| With a script like this, you wish it was daytime instead of night. The characters aren't plausable, they seem one-dimension and aren't the people we would conversate with on a daily basis. The plot is rushed, 17 pages isn't enough to fill a script. A script is supposed to be written with originality, this one doesn't. Needs plenty of work, maybe rewatching the classic TV series of the same name might work to get an understanding. |
