: movie script
: everyone in the room talking.
In a large dim room with some beanie bag chairs and actual chairs that variety in size, color and design several people appear. Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and Hans. Jack, Bunny, Tooth, North, Pitch and the children. Hiccup, Astrid, the rest of the teens, Stoick, Gobber, the rest of the Vikings and of course Toothless. They all appeared in the back but in the front is one thing they have in common. The girl. She has short curly brunette hair, freckles dot her face.
They all stare at her until Anna marches up to her. As soon as she moved everyone snaps out of their trance, drawing their weapons. They watch stunned as Anna stops in front of her and plants her hands on her hips. "Who do you think you are?! You can't just steal someone like that! We will be missed!"
The girl smiles, "just relax, I have manipulated time here so that only a few minutes will have passed when you return."
Everyone but Anna's jaw dropped. "Speaking of that! Where are we?"
"I have taken you to another dimension. But! back to the reason you all are here. I have brought you all here to watch three movies, your movies. And for those of you that don't know what a movie is, it's a picture that moves and it tells a story. So take your seats, Guardians you will find chairs that match you specifically. Same goes with Astrid, Hiccup, Stoick, Gobber, Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Hans."
Elsa sits in the chair that is obviously hers, it is next to a strange boy with white hair and no shoes and carries around a stick. When he sits he looks at her smirks and winks. She rolls her eyes and ignores him.
Mean while Hiccup hesitantly sits in his chair next to Toothless and Stoick narrows his eyes at those two. Why by Thor's beard would there be a dragon! And Hiccup is sitting with it!
Hans, and Pitch were discreetly looking for their chairs. The girl pointed off to the side a little bit to show them where the chairs were. "I would have put you with the rest, but you are safer over there and they are safer with you over there. You can see the movie just fine if you were wondering.
"What I was wondering is what's your name?" sneers Pitch as the two walk to the chairs and sit.
"My name! Didn't I tell you? Oh gosh darn, its Sage. Anyway the movie is called Rise of the Guardians and it's about you." She points her small, white index finger at Jack.
His eyebrows wrinkle together, "What?"
Sage does answer just smirks at him and clicks something on the chair that appeared and starts to eat popcorn.
The huge screen in front of them lights up.
~~JACK (V.O.)
"Darkness.
Everyone's head snaps to Jack, he notices and says, "I didn't say anything. It was the movie."
but everyone could tell he had gotten very pale.
That's the first thing I
remember. It was dark, and it was
cold. And I was scared."
Pitch smiles, fear.
The silhouette of a body appears as it drifts into a ray of
light, refracted through water, which turns into...
A MOON - SEEN IN REFLECTION ON A SHEET OF ICE
The moonlight intensifies almost magically, and the ice above
begins to spider-web and crack.
EXT. FROZEN POND - NIGHT
Snow-covered trees in every direction. The ice in the pond
continues to crack, until finally a hole splinters open. A
young man floats out of the water, bathed in the intense
moonlight. This is JACK FROST - thin, pale, barefoot, his
tousled hair frosted white.
You hear a gasp and everyone looks at Tooth, her eyes are wide on the screen. There is confusion evident on the rest of the Guardians except Jack. No Guardian had to die to become a immortal spirit.
JACK (V.O.)
But then...then I saw the moon. It
was so big and it was so bright,
and it seemed to chase the darkness
away. And when it did...I wasn't
scared anymore.
Jack floats back down onto the ice as the hole closes up
underneath him.
Jamie's eyes widen, "Whooaa, that cool!"
JACK (V.O.)
Why I was there, and what I was
meant to do - that I've never
known. And a part of me wonders if
I ever will.
Everyone's heart tightens in sympathy... Exept Hans and Pitch.
Jack looks around, confused, then turns toward the moonlight
as it dims a bit.
Jack carefully treads across the ice until he hits something
with his feet. He looks down, and at his feet is a wooden
staff. Curious, he picks it up. Almost immediately the
staff begins to glow a cold blue in his hands. Odd.
"Jack, your staff." Bunny looks to his left at Frost who doesn't break eye contact from the screen but nods.
Jack almost drops it as the base of the staff comes in
contact with the ground. Frost shoots out and spreads across
the ice. Jack is visibly confused.
There is a sharp gasp and Jack looks at the stunning girl next to him, she has her hands over her mouth and looks at the Spirit of Winter. Realizing the stares she was getting she relaxes and removes her hands. She fools everyone but Jack, who see's how tense she is but is trying to hide.
He touches a few trees with his staff sending frost up their
trunks. Then he swings the staff again, more confident, as
he begins to run across the frozen pond.
Another swing, and a gust of wind swirls him high up into the
air. Jack floats for a moment only to fall back down to
earth and into the trees. Jack grabs hold of a tree branch
and pulls himself up to see a small town off in the distance.
"Ouch, that had to hurt." Bunny laughs.
Jack scowls, "Hey! I was a beginner flyer, ok?! You try to do it!"
Bunny rolls his eyes "Whatever." the children giggle at their antics.
EXT. BURGESS SETTLEMENT - TOWN CENTER - CONTINUOUS
A collection of simple timber houses with thatched roofs.
Jack comes in for a landing, and it's a rocky one. He stands
up, still elated, and brushes himself off.
As Jack makes his way into town, settlers are warming their
hands by campfire. Jack doesn't recognize anyone.
"Oh no," groans Jack as he slouches down in his chair and pulls up his hood. The Guardians look at him in confusion.
JACK
(to the townsfolk)
Hello. Hello. Good evening,
ma'am.
(BEAT)
Ma'am?
The settlers walk past Jack, not noticing him. Jack crouches
down as a YOUNG BOY runs toward him.
JACK
Oh, ah, excuse me, can you tell me
where I am?
The boy runs right through Jack, as if he were a ghost. Jack
staggers back in shock. He's speechless, as if the wind had
been knocked out him. His emotions causing it to snow.
Everyone looks at the screen speechless, except Pitch who smiles darkly. It starts to snow inside. "Mate," When Jack does nothing Bunny continues, "Frostbite its snowing." Jack looks up finally seeing it and takes a deep breath, stopping the snow.
Elsa looks at him whispering, "your like me." She reaches over and pulls down his hood. Vivid blue eyes stare at her then move to the screen wordlessly.
JACK
Hello! Hello!
Townsfolk continue to pass through Jack, unaware of his
presence. Shaken, Jack turns and retreats into the forest.
JACK (V.O.)
My name is Jack Frost - how do I
know that? The moon told me so.
But that was all he ever told me.
And that was a long, long time ago.
"It couldn't have been that long." Protests Hiccup.
Jack leans forward to look at him and says "300 long freaking years."
Hiccup blinked at him, "Oh."
We pan up as the moon shines down over the snow covered
trees.
CUT TO:
EXT. NORTH POLE - DUSK
FIERY GYPSY VIOLIN MUSIC as we move through clouds to reveal
a MASSIVE ICE CANYON, and just around a bend, the incredible
hidden fortress of NORTH, aka SANTA CLAUS.
INT. NORTH'S WORKSHOP - DUSK
We glimpse a familiar-looking RED JACKET and CAP with white
trim on a coat hanger just as a pair of tongs SLAM a block of
ice onto a stone work table-
IN QUICK CUTS: A CHAINSAW shears the block in half, spraying
ice. North lifts up the chainsaw revealing a massive tatoo
on his arm, the word NAUGHTY clearly visible.
All the children inhale quickly that their idol has tatoos.
Three ELVES huddle in a doorway around a plate of cookies,
each licking their own tasty morsel.
NORTH (O.S.)
Still waiting for cookies!
As North crosses the background, the elves lower the cookies
from their mouths, their faces frozen in fear.
The elves duck out of the way as North launches himself
across the floor on his rolling chair - CLOSE as his huge
HAND gropes furiously among his WORK TOOLS, finally grabbing
a miniature HAMMER. As North's humming along with his music,
delicately CHISELING into the ice, we see a second arm sleeve
tatoo, the word NICE clearly visible-
His INTENSE BLUE EYE magnified in a JEWELER'S EYEPIECE - a
delicate SCULPTING TOOL cuts fine details into the ice-
His hands place the finished piece on a curving ICE TRACK: An
ice LOCOMOTIVE. It belches ice vapor and chugs down the
track, picking up speed-
NORTH
Yes!
North's hand grabs a cookie from a plate held up by the two
Elves.
One of the elves gives his cohort a look and points to the
plate as it chews with a mouth full of food, to which it then
unfurls its tongue and lets the half eaten morsels spill out
onto the plate.
NORTH
Ah, finally!
"EWWWWWW," screeches Anna, "Don't eat tha-"
He takes a bite and leans toward the ice track.
"Of course you do." She continues deadpan. Elsa, Astrid, and Hiccup bust up laughing and Hiccup has to wipe away tears.
He chuckles as the train hits a loop, and launches off a ramp into midair
- then WINGS unfold - JET ENGINES sprout and ignite and the
train lifts off the track-
Suddenly, the DOOR is thrown open by one of North's concerned
YETIS, sending the flying ice locomotive skidding across the
floor in pieces.
YETI
Arghbal...
NORTH
Ach!
The yeti cries out covering his mouth in shame. North cries
out, devastated. The yeti, equally emotional, lets out
another whimper. North looks down at the broken toy and
takes a moment to collect himself.
NORTH
How many times have I told you to
knock?
YETI
Warga blarghgha!
NORTH
What...? The Globe?
"How do you understand them?" asks Gobber.
"It's easy." Protests North, turning around to look at the man.
North leaps up - draws a HUGE SCIMITAR from its sheath and
HEADS OUT-
INT. NORTH'S GLOBE ROOM - CONTINUOUS
A sea of tiny BELLS on the heads of panicking elves part as
North's huge boots stomp through.
NORTH
Shoo with your pointy heads. Why
are you always under boot?
He pushes his way past a couple of his YETI WORKERS -
they're looking up in fear at -
THE GLOBE OF BELIEF
Covered with LIGHTS blanketing the continents. But North
notices that all at once, HUNDREDS OF LIGHTS suddenly go out.
NORTH
What is this?
Now MORE LIGHTS, in GREATER NUMBERS, as if something is
snuffing them out by the thousands. North's concern grows.
NORTH
(TO YETI)
Have you checked the axis? Is
rotation balanced?
YETI
(SHRUGS SHOULDERS)
Wardle bawddrel.
Before the Yeti can finish, a WIND whips up from out of
nowhere - North stares in outrage as a blanket of SWIRLING
BLACK SAND, crawls over the lights, and shrouds the ENTIRE
GLOBE in inky DARKNESS-
The elves scurry in a panic, then all at once the BLACK SAND
WHOOSHES UP off the Globe - rushes up through the ceiling as
the remaining sand bursts into a puff of smoke and dissipates
into the air -
As the wind dies, the scattered pieces of debris settle to
the ground, and the globes lights come back on, North whirls
to see a HUGE SHADOW flash across the floors and curving
walls of his fortress. It quickly disappears, leaving
nothing but the distant ECHO of...LAUGHTER?
Pitch chuckles echoing the movie.
North is frozen, looking up into the darkness, gravely:
NORTH
Can it be?
(then calls off)
Dingle!
"Oh no!," gasps Jack, everyone looks at him in confusion. "It's Dingle!" He fakes terror. The elf in question is confused at first the puffs up his chest and growls at Toothless. Toothless looks at him, bored, and flicks him with his tail sending him flying. as Dingle descends Toothless lets a small plasma blast loose so the elf shoots back up, hitting the ceiling and face planting the floor. Everyone rolls on the floor laughing, even Pitch cracks a smirk.
A group of elves step forward gleefully pointing to
themselves, as if they're all "Dingle". The excitement
quickly turns to confusion.
NORTH
Make preparations! We are going to
have company.
North reaches out for a large EMERGENCY LEVER, TWISTS and
PRESSES IT-
The Globe pulses with ENERGY, which lights up and ZOOMS UP
the AXIS SHAFT toward the roof-
"OOOO Ahhhhhhhhh!" chorus the Elves.
EXT. NORTH POLE - CONTINUOUS
From the tallest spire of North's fortress, NORTHERN LIGHT
ENERGY radiates outward: for the first time in decades, the
GUARDIANS' CALL GOES OUT!
Should there be more interruptions? less? did I forget anyone? I don't think I did.
