Free Movie Trailer Idea (Calvin and Hobbes)

If you can make this video, please do so. It’s one of my fake movie trailers… But (unlike my typical screenplay) would take some imagination to produce it inexpensively. Usually I write with budget in mind.

This script is not licensed in any way, Creative Commons or otherwise, because I don’t own the rights to these characters.

From the director of Watchmen and 300…

…comes the greatest comic adaptation of all time.

EXT – HILLSIDE – DAY

POV from the wagon going down the hill.

The grassy hillside rushes past as a wagon races down the hill. The two voices make kind of a “who-o-o-a-a-a-a” noise as they bounce along.

POV looking at the wagon.

A boy and a tiger hit a rock in slow motion. Their velocity and force launch them into the air. They scream.

Techno music begins to blare.

As the two fly through the air in slow motion, screaming, images strobe.

SUSIE DERKINS, setting up a tea party.

THE MOM, preparing a grotesque dinner.

ROSELYN, rolling up her sleeves.

THE DAD, gritting his teeth because his car is blocked by DEFORMED SNOWMEN.

MRS. WORMWOOD, passing out a test.

SPACEMAN SPIFF, fighting for his life.

A DINOSAUR roars.

Darkness.

LOGO – Zach Snyder’s Calvin and Hobbes.

EXT – HILLSIDE – DAY

The wagon crashes into the ground, spilling the passengers everywhere.

FADE TO BLACK.
