TOM WRITES HIS FIRST MOVIE: Everyone is against you.

I am writing my first movie...kinda winging it.

Brief Synopsis:
  

'Douglas wakes up one morning confronted by his girlfriend accusing him of tearing apart and molesting her favorite dolls. She thinks he did it, he thinks she did it. WTF?'

Here's everything so far:

INT - GRANT'S LIVING ROOM  - MORNING

Grant is passed out in his chair, beer bottles are all over the table in front of him. Douglas is sitting up, he's been awake all night. The morning sun is just starting to set.

Douglas has been up waiting, when the sun breaks he can't wait anymore. He gets up and takes the car keys from off of the table in front on Grant and makes his way out the front door. Outside the truck is parked haphazardly, half on the driveway and half on the front lawn. The back of the truck is smashed in, the bumper is dangling. Douglas pays it no mind, he climbs in and starts the engine, the bumper drags along the ground as he pulls away.

It's a long drive to Abagail's house outside the city, it takes a nervous hour and a half for him to finally reach the lonely turnoff onto Abagail's road. When his car makes the turn Douglas notices a police car pull up behind him. Soon he's flanked on either side by police cruisers demanding him to pull over. When Douglas complies he's told to get out of his vehicle.

POLICE OFFICER

STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH YOUR ARMS RAISED.

Douglas

What did I do???

POLICE OFFICER

STEP OUT NOW!

Douglas steps out of his truck and is immediately tackled and hand cuffed, he's violently picked up and thrown into the back of the police car.

INT - POLICE INTERROGATION ROOM

Douglas looks exhausted, he's sitting in a chair being grilled by a no nonsense cop. 

COP

Last night Abagail was attacked in her room while she slept.

DOUGLAS
What?

COP
Last night after you had your altercation with her and her father where you were asked to leave for doing...unsavory acts, she was left alone in her house where she claims someone hit her in her sleep.

DOUGLAS
Her father left her alone???

COP
He's the one who found her the next morning, with a broken eye socket and a mild concussion.

DOUGLAS
How could she do that to herself?

COP
Herself? 

DOUGLAS
She's sick. You have to help her.

COP
We are helping her. Infact we're looking at the prime suspect in this assault right now.

DOUGLAS
I wasn't there!

COP
No, according to your statement you were with your friend Grant all night. Yet when we found you, you were alone speeding towards Abagail's house.

DOUGLAS
Its still my home. All my stuff's there.

COP
Any dispute over your belongings is between you, her and the courts. The property belongs to Abagail, any attempt to access her property will be considered an intrusion.

DOUGLAS
Where's Abagail?

COP
Do you think I am going to give you that information. We're going to serve your with a restraining order that says you have to stay at least 50 feet away from her at all times. 

Douglas can't process all this information, his life has utterly crumbled in the last 24 hours. It shows.

COP

I will let you know that she's going to be ok. She's very shaken, she's very scared of you but she's going to be ok. We're here to make sure of it.

DOUGLAS

If you really think I did it then why don't you just arrest me already?

COP

The only reason you aren't in one of those cells right now is because she didn't see her attacker.

DOUGLAS

Are you sure there was an attacker?

COP

Are you asking me if I think she broke her own orbital bone and then went back to bed?

(he stares hard at Douglas)

No. I don't think that. I think you did it, I think you have a key, I think you came back in the middle of the night and I think you hit her with something with the intention to kill her.

DOUGLAS

But I'd know I am the most obvious suspect. You really think anyone could be that stupid?

COP

Not stupid. Like you said, sick.

DOUGLAS

What now?

COP

Like I told you, we don't have enough evidence to press charges. You can go.

Douglas stands up to be let out of the room.

COP

Make sure your leave your new address with our detectives before you leave, and make sure you never go anywhere near that girl or her house again. I am serious.

DOUGLAS

How do I get my things?

COP

Call a lawyer.

A buzzer sounds and the door out of the room opens, Douglas leaves. Still trying to process everything that's taken place. He's led out the front door back to his truck.

TOM WRITES A MOVIE: Include Sex!

Part 1: In case you're too lazy to scroll down.

INT-KITCHEN/LIVING ROOM

Inside the house Richard is in the kitchen with Abigale cleaning up after their pizza dinner while Grant and Douglas are going through boxes in the living room.

GRANT

Where's your Playstation?  Let's hook that shit up.

DOUGLAS

Don't unpack anything. Do you see how weird he's being about this?

Douglas look back at Richard.

DOUGLAS

I am going to wait until he leaves before I really, y'know. Move in.

GRANT

Yeah he doesn't want you here, he kept asking about you when we were unloading. Like he was pumping me for information.

DOUGLAS

What's; he trying to dig up dirt on me?

GRANT

Yeah but look, if you were moving into my family house with my daughter I'd hate you too.

DOUGLAS

So would I but I'd at least hide it better.

Richard looks back at Douglas, they catch eyes for a second. Richard takes a hard look at Douglas and shakes his head in disapproval and confusion. He turns away. Douglas and Abigale catch eyes, they look at each other from the across the room. They both smile.

DOUGLAS

Whatever. He'll get over it.

Abigale walks in from the kitchen.

ABIGALE

I need you to run down to the basement and get my big serving plate.

DOUGLAS
What does that look like?

ABIGALE
It's this big plate.

DOUGLAS
Ok...

ABIGALE
And get my crystal pitcher, but only if it's clean.

DOUGLAS
Come with me. I don't even know what these things are.

ABIGALE
No, I never go in the basement. You go.

Douglas and Grant share a look.

DOUGLAS

Ok...

INT - BASEMENT

Douglas walks down the stairs to the cellar-like basement, it's very old. Very dank and poorly lighted. Douglas's face twists, something stinks. He hold his nose and rushes downstairs, searching through several shelves before finding a big plate. He finds the pitcher but it's covered in cobwebs, he discards it and runs back upstairs. He hands Abigale the plate, he's out of breath.

INT-LIVING ROOM

ABIGALE

Where's the pitcher?

DOUGLAS

Covered with spiders, its dead to us. Now I know why you wouldn't go down there. It smells like SHIT!

ABIGALE

Eww I wouldn't know, that's not why I don't go down there. I don't go down there because it's scary.

Douglas smiles at her.  God she's cute.

ABIGALE

Do you want some cake?

DOUGLAS

I want some alone time.

ABIGALE

(smiles coyly)

Cake fist.

Douglas and Abigale join Richard and Grant in the kitchen and start carving up the cake. Later they're saying goodbyes at the door. It's night time. Grant says goodbye to Douglas and hugs Abigale, it's a warm goodbye and in stark contrast to the cold goodbye that Richard offers, after hugging his daughter goodbye Richard darts out the door without so much as an acknowledgment towards Douglas. Douglas and Abigale kiss as the door closes. The lights in the downstairs turn out, the light in the bedroom turns on.

That got sexy.

My First Movie Script Is About A Guy Who's Girlfriend Thinks He Wants To Kill Her, But He Loves Her. It's Complicated.

I took a long break from this blog, as it turns out coming up with a movie to write can take a while. Months actually. It's a huge project to tackle, in terms of work load it's like writing three essays back to back. I know I have to do it though. Its something I've always wanted to do, I kind of feel like I need to. Still though, as motivated as I felt to get a script started it still took several frustrating weeks before I settled on an idea (my fifth actually) that I was confident enough with. All my other idea I picked apart, with this one though the more thought I gave it the more I came up with ideas to add to it. I set out to write a romantic comedy and I ended up with an idea for a "Romantic Comedy Horror Thriller". I am calling it "I am Not a Weirdo"

 I'm using this blog to write it. It's my first movie script. I am starting now.

"I AM NOT A WEIRDO"

by Thomas Holler

EXT - OUTSIDE ABIGALE'S HOUSE

Outside of a large, old house a moving van is being unloaded. The house is all white with old brick, old architecture and even old creepy statues scattered along the property. It's a very old house. On the truck two men are unloading the last of some boxes, the older of the two is Abigale's father Richard, he's being helped by Abigale's close friend Bryce. On the walkway to the house two more men have stopped. Douglas and Grant, both have boxes in their hands. Both have stopped dead in their tracks and are staring, eyebrows furled at one of the unnerving statues along the walkway. They stand face to face with an especially creepy statue.

GRANT

God...I bet as soon as night falls these things are coming alive and trying to kill you.

DOUGLAS

Don't put that in my head.

GRANT

So Abby lived here when she was a kid? These things must have given her nightmares.

DOUGLAS

Nah, my girl doesn't get nightmares. She smiles when she sleeps.

Abigale sneaks up behind them while they're inspecting the statue.

ABIGALE

(sarcastically)

Yeah so those boxes actually go inside the house.

DOUGLAS

Sorry Munchkin. We were meeting the neighbors.

Grant pics up his box and heads inside.

ABIGALE

Oooo...want me to introduce you. This is Bert and that's Ernie and Crispy over there. I named them when I was really little...obviously.

DOUGLAS

You were a brave kid, huh?

ABIGALE

Actually all of these statues used to scare me when I was a kid. 

DOUGLAS

Yeah (duh).

ABIGALE

But then my dad told me these were here to guard the house. They keep badguys away.

RICHARD

We'll see about that. 

Richard shoots Douglas a snarky look to go along with his snide remark as he walks past with the last of the boxes.

ABIGALE

He hasn't really warmed to you moving in here with me.

DOUGLAS

Oh, I noticed.

ABIGALE

I am his little girl and this is our family house, it means a lot to him.

DOUGLAS

He gave it to you.

ABIGALE

I know. He knows. Just give it time, let him get used to it.

Bryce politely walks up behind Abigale.

BRYCE

Hey, Abby. The truck's unloaded, I was actually thinking about getting going.

ABIGALE

Nooooo. Stay! I have to pay you back with pizza for helping me. 

BRYCE

(smiles)

Thanks but how about you owe me. Buy me lunch on Monday.

ABIGALE

Deal. 

The two hug.

ABIGALE

Thank you. You're the best.

DOUGLAS

It was nice meeting you Bryce. Thanks for helping out.

Bryce moves in, the two shake hands and lock eyes.

DOUGLAS

Appreciate it.

BRYCE

Don't mention it. Nice meeting you.

Bryce heads off to his car. Douglas picks up his box and heads inside with Abigale. Bryce looks back. The front door closes. The statues stay still.

...CONT'D

Alright, as far as first pages go I am happy with it. I've already introduced every major character. Success.
