Depths of the inferno


 


 


 


Scene 1: The Discovery


 


EXT: A path leading up to a house. Early morning. A woman walks up


     the path. She is Anna a tall pretty girl dressed in black.


 


Anna


(Voiceover):


You never know what's waiting


for you behind a locked door.


 


 


Anna opens the door to her house and moves up the stairs to her bedroom. A man lies on the bed perfectly asleep. She looks around and notices a note stuck to the window.


 


Anna:


What the hell?


 


The camera moves to the note and focuses upon it so that it can be read.


 


Anna:


What the? Oh my god!


 


Anna drops the note on the desk and leaves slamming the door. The man on the bed does not stir


 


 


Scene 2: The old place


 


Cut to next location: 'The old place'. Anna is walking under some arches and a man is coming towards her in the distance. They come together and he whispers in her ear.


 


Unknown:


Open it when I leave


 


The camera moves and we see a package held between the pair's hands. Unknown lets go and walks away. Anna walks to the beach and sits down on the stones. The camera cuts to her reading a note.


 


Anna:


Follow these clues to uncover


the biggest cover up in history.


 


Anna is visibly shaken. She looks at the book behind the note. A copy of 'The Inferno' sits behind it.


 


 


Anna:


'The Inferno?' what has this


got to do with anything?


 


Anna begins to read the book, turning the pages slowly.


 


Anna:


Circle One: Those in limbo


 


She sits and slowly reads; as this occurs the image of her slowly fades and become blurry as titles begin.

Helen, this evokes some great images. I would like to see a cinematic interpretation of this. I think it would be intense. --Robert Barlow
