Fade In
Interior- Night Conference room Sunnyvale Marriott A sparsely decorated meeting room is viewed, a tray of refreshments sitting to the side in a nook. A well dressed man in mid 20's stands next to a lit overhead projector, a group of people sit around the long table looking at rough script books, while another well another man in his mid-20's stands along the back of the room.
Mr. Clark: "So as you can see, with the Mayor and Chamber of Commerce on board the project, we should have a go by the end of the week"
Mr. Jackson standing in the back of the room watches the people reactions and checks his watch. Cut to a view out room window showing the just set sun.
Donald Southerland: (leaning in chair) "Well, that's fine Mr. Clark, but all I'm seeing here is, what a rough draft? I thought you said Joss was going to have a finished script.
Donald tosses the script to the table, waiting for a reply.
Cut to Mr. Jackson, pan to Kristy (wearing reading glasses) looking over the script, Luke sips some water, smiling at Donald as his friend drills the studio type.
Mr. Jackson: "And he will, he's just been delayed, we all appreciate your patience in this matter
Donald doesn't answer, just picks up script, looking to fellow actors around the table.
Kristy: "So what I'm seeing is that this Pilot is sort of a Flashback"
Mr. Clark fidgets with pointer, looking relieved with actual question, exchanging glances with Mr. Jackson. Mr. Clark: "Yes Miss Swanson, Joss sees the project as a Continuation of the Movie, but since it is a pilot and were bringing in of a new caste, it was viewed that your involvement, as well as Donald and Luke's would be critical to the viewers transition to the new series.
Luke: "So were talking." shrugs shoulders Interrupting
Mr. Jackson: "3-4 Weeks principal shooting, maybe 5-6 at the most baring complications"
Donald: "Complications?"
Mr. Clark: "Your agents should be providing you with all the details, is there any more questions?"
Luke: "Just one, Is there some reason why we couldn't of shot this."
Interrupted Mr. Clark: (smiling) "In Los Angeles Maybe?"
Luke: "Yeah, sort of, drove around last night this town is Dead"
Mr. Clark and Jackson smile slightly
Mr. Jackson: "Well, Joss felt that authenticity was needed, and picked Sunnydale as the ideal site for the shooting, the small town feel instead of just using a facade and shooting everything in some warehouse.
Sound is heard out in hall.
Luke nods his head looking at Kristy and then Donald, Kristy puts down script nibbling on the last pieces of fruit on her plate.
Kristy: "Any idea when the new caste will be here? I would like to see who josh has chosen to play Buffy "
Luke: "So would I!" he says with a devilish grin.
Kristy rolls her eyes as she lays down the script and swats Luke out of spite, Luke feign innocence, Donald watches the two softly smiling for the first time.
Door opens
The people look over as the One armed man walks into the room, satchel in hand and a script under his arm, followed by a young 17-18 year old blond girl, wearing slacks a pastel colored top and jacket w/ matching gloves. A small silver unicorn charm hanging around her neck.
Donald: "Speak of the devil" sitting up and looking less annoyed.
Mr. Jackson takes the satchel from the man, offering the young girl a seat.
Kristy: "Thought you were never going to make it Joss" smiling.
Luke looks at the attractive blond sitting across the table, she seemed so familiar, and had not stopped looking at Luke since she entered.
Joss: "Well, I made it so where we at?"
The one armed man looks at the people in the room, and then to the women at his side, looking embarrassed.
Luke: "Forgive joss, Hey I'm Luke, and this is Kristy and Donald " gesturing to his fellow actors.
Young Blond: "Hi everyone, this is so cool," said in an excited almost perky voice.
Joss: "What was I thinking" Standing beside the young Girl.
Kristy smile but doesn't answer, looking at the girl, and her reaction on Luke.
Joss: "May, I introduce the young actress that I'm casting in the lead role of Buffy, Harmony Kendall" gesturing to the young woman.
Cut to a mid-shot of a thrilled Harmony.
Harmony: "Hey everyone" waving in an overly bubbly way
Cut to a view of the one-armed man, who goes by the Name of Joss whedon as he looks at the people before him, smiling?
Pull back and out window, panning across the town lit by the lights, ending with a look at the nearly full moon.
