Movie Trailer Script: Napoleon
2007-07-19, 7:02 AM #1
This is a possible movie trailer we're going to shoot for pure fun. Napoleon is, obviously, me.

Quote:
SCENE OPENS to a diner, middle of the night. Front-full shot from over counter at single customer, a man with a dark shadow of a beard, a plate of breakfast in front of him. Over his shoulder, the door opens and Napoleon enters in wheelchair, his partner Kim [male] holding the door and following. Camera follows them to a table in the middle. Show chair being moved for Napoleon. Kim sits down, and a waitress comes from the back with two menus. The men smile at her, and compliment her on even being around so early in the morning. She leaves them to their menus.

FS Napoleon, serious face.
Napoleon “Whatever just happened is irrelevant, ok Kim? **** Peter, we don’t need Peter. He’s a pecker head, alright? You know I love you, and you know we’ll handle this ****, and we’ll do it right the first time.”

Front shot on the other man in the diner, he snickers. Perspective shot from Kim, Napoleon looks over his menu at THE MAN.

Napoleon: “I’d love to hear your joke.”

FS Man
MAN “No you don’t.”

Napoleon “I think you’d better tell me the ****in joke.”

FS Kim licking his lips. The man pauses before speaking.

Man “It just sounds like you’re ******s. I’ve never seen a ****** so short he didn’t need to get down on his knees”

The diner is silent.

Napoleon “Suppose we weren’t talking about a former business partner that stole poor Kim’s share of a bankroll, this man that we plan to execute and kill within the next 24 hours, and we really were a pair of homosexual men sitting at a diner ordering a plate of food and discussing a former lover, how would that have anything to do with you, you stupid mother****er?”

Man “Hey, I don’t want a problem.”

Full Shot from back of diner, man in upper left, diner party on right. Napoleon suddenly reaches across the table with his right arm and pulls the table over to his right, flipping it clean over.

Napoleon “Now you have a ****ing problem.”

He makes a b-line for the man at the counter and slams into the barstool.

CUE “Your Honor” – Regina Spektor

[I KISSED YOUR LIPS AND I TASTED BLOOD]
Close up of a man being held by 2 other men, his head slumped over. Napoleon picks up his head, removes his cigar, kisses the man’s forehead and then goes to pushing the cigar into his cheek. Cut at press.

[NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NANUH!]

Close up: Napoleon sits at a table with two women on either side. He kisses one while the other kisses his neck. Cut to a man kicking in the door, shotgun in hand. Napoleon kicks over the table and dives behind it. Low angle perspective shot from toppled ice bucket with pick and wine spilling out. Napoleon grabs for the pick.

Voice “He’s ****ing psychotic. You don’t know what to expect.”
Other Voice “He’s ****ing brilliant, is what he is.”



Full shot of Napoleon holding a crowbar and two men on either side of him. Close up of crate being opened. Glass vials are removed, full of white milky liquid.

[NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NANUH!]

VO “You little ****, you’re a bug. I’ll ****ing squash you.”
Silhouette: A man is on all fours. Napoleon takes full swing with a crowbar at his face. Cut to Napoleon with shirt off, his hands soaked with blood, a crowbar laying on the ground next to a dead man behind him.
Napoleon “You must not know who the **** I am?”

[YOU SAID I’VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR YOUR HONOR BUT YOU WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND]

Napoleon is shirtless with his hat on, rain pouring all around him. Close-up, low perspective. He is smiling and doing something with his hands until a spray of blood covers his face. Accompanied by voice over.

[NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH NANUH!]

Napoleon is between the shotgun man’s legs, icepick in hand. He jams the pick into the calf.
Cut to shirtless scene.
Napoleon “Most people call me Napoleon.”



Perspective shot, low angle. Napoleon holds former shotgun and looks down on the camera smiling.
Full Text: “Some people should just be left alone.”

[INSTRUMENTAL]

VO: “Being nicknamed after your small man complex doesn’t sound very dignified.”
Napoleon: “Napoleon ruled a nation and conquered at least 3 others with his ‘complex.’ I consider it a compliment to be compared to the guy.”

Full Text “Coming this summer.”


It's supposed to be very Quentin Tarantino in execution. You should probably also hear the song to get a feel for what I want. We're going for campy, too.

There are so many nice trailers and when you go to see the movie you realise that all good scenes have been in the trailer.
Then again, whenever I see a fake trailer I'm dissapointed to find out that I'm not going to see this awesome movie.

Anyway, sounds nice, but are you sure that the song gives you enough time for each "scene", like you planned them? The purely visual stuff might work, but I don't think all lines will fit.

And now I've got that song stuck in my head, thanks to you! :mad:

I think the CD track version is slow enough. If not, I can just include some of the lyrical lines of the song during some of the scenes, and push it all forward.

I was hoping this would be a fake biography of Napoleon.

What did you want? I simply declared my love for Miss Spektor's nose and then expressed how awesome I thought this idea was in form of emoticon.

I mean, WTF man, did you want me to critique it? Because if I did all of the actors would end up naked at the end in my version. I think it's sweet the way it is.

What I'm wanting to know, is would you see a movie named "Michael Buhler's day off"?

Well it seems fairly Tarantino, which is a success if that's what you're going for. Might wanna add some random cultural references for good measure.

I don't really have much else to add except that it could be either good or really awful depending on the director, actors, best boys, and especially gaffers. A good script can only go so far.

Idea: make the lord of all smarmy pop cultural references ever by referencing a pop cultural reference made in a Quentin Tarantino movie, causing the universe to explodate in a time vortex of trendy idiocy

eheheheheheehh
