sometime soon the maximum ride series will be made into a movie series. i have an idea of how i'd do it, and i've mocked up some trailer script thingies based off of the trailers for the live action transformers series

so, to read the scripts:

(plain text) -this is the action, what you see happening

(underlined) -this is the book the movie is based on (loosely of course)

(bold) -this is captions or else still words, such as the title or studio logo

(italics) -this is what is being spoken

(bold italics) -this is a sound effect, like an explosion

(bold underline) -this is a visual effect that helps the mood of the trailer

(bold underline italics) -this is background noises or music

_ -means 'unknown'. obviously, i don't know when these would come out or who would be making these movies. just imagine its someone you like


btw, if you haven't watched the trailers for the movies, go on youtube channel JTVectorSigma. its mine. i've posted visually different but audio identical versions of the trailers. also, if you haven't read the maximum ride book series... just gtfo until you do.
