First script

Media-interview scene script

 

Throughout the scene we never see the faces of the two, only various close-up shots of eyes, hands and back shots, the interviewer will be seen but still minimally.

Interviewer: and here with us today we have the legendary Thor Hammeranstein III (mispronounces both names) and Olav Yewenvargen

Olav: it’s Yewenvargen

Thor: and Hammeranstein

Interviewer: Oh, sorry…

Interviewer: well let me be the first to say that it is an honour to have two of the greatest musicians in rock history in our studio, because while making up 2/4’s of one of the most amazing acts in entertainment history, for a large portion of your careers, you have been intensely private and released very little about your personal lives, so why now?

Thor: Ya well, we felt that the times was right to start talking about how awesomes it all was and let the world sees into whos we are a littles more.

Olav: Ya the fans have beens buggings us for years to do a serious interviews, they were all like “Oh you guys you gots to tells us everythings abouts your personals stuffs” and we were all “NO’S…Gets out of here”

Interviewer: uuum, yes… now despite your privacy you were known for some of the most wild antics of any celebrity, Thor it was recorded you went into rehab 8 times!?

Thor: Ya, I was quite prouds of that (if a mouth shot is present give smirk.)

Olav: HA that’s nothings, I’ve been in 14 times and I nevers stopped drinking once.

Thor: Ya but you hads already been in like twice befores we met. Which was interestings cause you must have been like 13 the first times.

Olav: uh ya something like that.

Interviewer: that really is an incredible feat, of course most of your fans will remember your numerous trips to rehabilitation.

Olav: Ya, ya good times. (directed at interviewer) you should have seen him the first time we made him go, he was about to destroy the band froms the insides, so we told him we was goins for a beer run but then we secretly drove to the rehab centre and just dumped him there.

Thor: oh ya, that was probably the angriest I’ve ever beens in my wholes life haha

Olav: Ya, he actually tried to kill me when he gots out haha, I’ve still gots the scar.

Interviewer:…yeeeees well anyway. Now you two have known each other since you were 16-17 am I right.

Thor: Ya, we were both elected most likelys to die before age 30 in school.

Olav: Showed thems.

Interviewer: So you two really are an exemplar of long term friendship, could you describe what the early days were like for you two.

Thor: Well, let me thinks…

Flashback sequence

Quick succession of images shows the young Thor and Olav being horrifically drunk and disorderly.

Thor: hmm, well I can’t really remembers the early days to well…its all a little blurrys

Olav: ya we must be gettins old.

Thor: For me it really started goings when we started working with Derek.

Olav: Ya that’s when our musics started to really gos in the directions we wanted.

Interviewer: So could you give us a little insight into what those days where like? When you where just starting out, before you were discovered even?

Thor: well, lets see….

Play flashback of large build up, band playing great music but it’s a tiny gig and theres only about three people, by this point the film opening will have ended but it will leave a good inclination of where the story will go, with the fictional bands climb to worldwide fame and success.

This was our first treatment. After writing it and attempting to create some of the scenes, we realised that we were being incredilby ambitious to try to recreate this exact script, being only amateur film makers. We then went back to the drawing board to refine the script.
