PART 1 THE RAP BATTLE

THE TITLE COD ZOMBIES ULTIMIS AND TRANZIT CREW VS RESIDENT EVIL

THE SETUP AND INTRO it starts in richtofens group 935 lab and red alarm lights are flashing and thunder is crashing outsidenikolai is sitting on a crate drinking vodka and he hears knocking on the heavy steel doors and he goes wait richtofen it sounds like someone is breaking in and richtofen is fixing his wunderwaffe and doesnt even look up and says ach its just the storm dick sit down just like in five from black ops 1 but then BOOM the doors blow wide open and smoke goes everywhere and the resident evil team steps in chris redfield leon kennedy jill valentine and albert wesker wearing sunglasses indoors like a dork

VERSE 1 THE OPENING SHOTS leon steps up and roasts them saying rpd is here and that ultimis has been stuck in a timeline loop since 2019 and surviving raccoon city is harder than standing in chalk lines in a park then chris says they punch through lines like a boulder in a volcano and then dempsey steps up and says pipe down boy scout we pack a punch plasma and mustang and sally will blow u up and then nikolai roasts leons boyband popstar hair and says he needs vodka but will take their blood instead

VERSE 2 THE GOD COMPLEX AND THE ROAST richtofen steps up holding the summoning key glowing purple and says bow down im a god in these dimensions holding keys to agartha and wesker takes off his sunglasses with yellow glowing eyes and laughs cold and says a god? dont make me laugh without your special drinks and candy what would u be? u are just a normal weak human being chugging soda to stand up and you are just a washed up nazi from 1943

but then richtofen laughs like a maniac and points his Wunderwaffe and says a true god who injected a virus in his own veins just to be a villain? u turned yourself into a monster just to die in a volcano to a rocket launcher at least the stuff i take keeps me winning without a scratch!

VERSE 3 THE PODS OPEN AND TRANZIT ARRIVES wesker gets super mad and tries to dash and attack richtofen but suddenly SIRENS GO CRAZY and steam blasts everywhere from the wall because the bo4 blood of the dead cryogenic capsules open and out stumbles the victis tranzit crew super confused

marlton steps out fixing his glasses coughing and says hypoxia clearing statistically your combat is senseless and calls weskers virus science flawed and calls him a bootleg discount god. russman shoves marlton and complains his back hurts and asks who turned off the heat. then stuhlinger holds his head crying cause the voice in his head is talking and ricthofen from across the room yells ja do it off them! and stuhlinger points at wesker and says man they say you gotta go! im on a roll woo! but then misty racks her shotgun and looks at stuhlinger and yells shut up stuhlinger you are trash! and samuel slumps his shoulders and says aw man... then misty roasts chris and leon saying country fried kickback putting buckshot in your head

VERSE 4 RE REACTS AND THE OUTBREAK leon facepalms and says what the fuck are these survivors they dont even know what they are doing and they cant even work together while they are bickering in the dark. chris roasts misty and says you got a hobo a nerd and a girl in the mud and your bars are horrible like old country music!

then misty snaps back right as the lab walls CRASH OPEN and a giant horde of zombies breaks in! the whole fight spills outside into a desolate wasteland covered in fog like tranzit and raccoon city mixed together and the beat switches to heavy fast metal rap where they are shooting zombies back to back while throwing bars at each other!

PART 2 THE DEATH BATTLE

THE TITLE PRIMIS AND ULTIMIS VS THE TEUFORT MERCS TF2

THE MATCHUP FACTS this is literally a 51/49 coin toss match because both teams scale insane

  • juggernog and near death experience vs medigun ubercharge and canteens
  • ray gun mark 3 and thundergun vs australium rocket launchers and miniguns
  • elemental staffs vs spellbooks and merasmus magic
  • bounded to aether cycle vs medic tricking the devil to steal souls back

THE OPENING SCENE red team tf2 just finished wiping out blue team on 2fort bridge. heavy is wiping sasha and engie is fixing a sentry. suddenly the sky tears open with a blue bo4 great war aether portal. soldier points his launcher thinking blue team called alien reinforcements.

out crashes ALL 8 ZOMBIES GUYS. primis and ultimis together covered in zombie blood and mud holding elemental weapons. young dempsey and old dempsey are arguing about richtofens portal math. scout steps up slapping his bat saying what is with the duplicate cosplay you brought 8 guys and 4 look like knockoff grandpas! takeo puts his hand on his katana and says we arent enemies a dark plague is here we must team up cause our world has none for now. spy flicks a butterfly knife and says red owns this bridge blue trash in fancy costumes gets cleaned up. ultimis richtofen grins crazy with his wunderwaffe asking if he can harvest their souls. primis dempsey racks his gun yelling we just wiped a horde we dont have time for this circus! heavy spins up sasha and screams entire team is babies fire!

THE FLASHY FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS

  1. soldier rocket jumps into the sky dropping airstrikes while dempsey aims up with pack a punched mustang and sally making massive explosions light up the sky
  2. dempsey pops near death experience gobblegum while medic hits heavy with the red glowing ubercharge. they stand inches away firing laser miniguns and rayguns point blank not taking a single scratch
  3. spy turns invisible with watch to get an instant backstab on takeo but takeo hears the decloak and uses path of sorrows spirit katana aura to block it last millisecond
  4. sniper tries picking off nikolai from 2fort tower but nikolai shoots a frozen blizzard spell back
  5. richtofen pulls out wunderwaffe shooting 200000 volts of chain lightning and medic uses a shield ubercharge to reflect it turning 2fort into a giant blinding electric storm
  6. end debate: if tf2 wins its cause ubercharge cycling and spys backstab kills richtofen before setup. if primis wins its cause summoning key or apothicon servant black hole pulls tf2 into a pocket dimension

A consistent problem I’ve had as a beginner screenwriter.

1 Upvotes

I feel like I only have one shot, and that if I don’t make it then everything is ruined.

I sat down today, I told myself, “I’m going to write for an hour no matter what.” and when I got distracted for five minutes, I felt pissed off and dreadful that my supposed “hour of writing time” was tainted because I got distracted. Some days I’ll stare at my computer and do nothing except sit there as a pit in my stomach keeps growing.

I feel like I’m too caught up in the grander picture of everything that needs to get done to complete the film that I can’t even make those baby steps towards getting there.

So if there’s something to take away from all this, it’s why does my heart beat so much when I stare at an empty Google Docs page? Why do I get so nervous writing something? Do I just focus on one singular task per day until the script is finished?

Any advice would be immensely appreciated. Thanks

Feature Tough Crowd, Indie drama/Dark Comedy (240 pages)

0 Upvotes

Seeking feedback! this is my first ever screenplay! And I need feedback for my revisions. (please give feedback for what I did well and what i can improve regarding pacing, tone, the romance, charchtwrs, dialogue, what scenes I can shorten and cut becuase I want to shorten it down to 150 pages/roughly an hour and a half run time) —Ignore all typos!! This draft will be spellchecked soon, I have severe dyslexia please don’t give me feedback on typos trust me, I know.

Please send all feedback to my email: [Thefilmbox9@gmail.com](mailto:Thefilmbox9@gmail.com) or, comment or dm it here.

Plot:

TOUGH CROWD written by Buddy Devine

Eddie Farne, 36, is a snarky opinion columnist in New York who has never lived alone — not really. His apartment is perpetually crowded with five "friends" who are, in fact, literal embodiments of his own psychology: hyperactive Mimi (mania's shinier cousin), party-boy Cleo (impulse and escape), overbearing Rachel (anxiety), needy Mable (a childlike, wounded part of himself), and Conrad, who lurks in the shadows suggesting Eddie would be better off dead. When Eddie falls for Virgil, a warm, unguarded actor-musician, the relationship threatens the fragile ecosystem he's built to survive — his friends do everything they can to sabotage it, terrified of losing their hold on him, while Eddie hides Virgil from them and hides them from Virgil. As Eddie chases a promotion at the paper, clashes with his brother over a family inheritance, and is quietly unraveled by a buried memory of a childhood best friend's suicide, the walls between his public charm and private chaos begin to collapse.

The strain comes to a head when Virgil, sensing he's being shut out of Eddie's real life, gives an ultimatum — and Eddie, isolated and convinced by Conrad that he is unlovable, attempts to take his own life. He wakes in a psychiatric hospital, medicated and stripped of the coping mechanisms that have run his life since childhood, forced for the first time to face his friends — and himself — without the noise. In the ward, surrounded by a new set of fellow patients as strange and specific as his own inner circle, Eddie begins the slow, funny, painful work of understanding why he built these "friends" in the first place, and what it might mean to let someone love the parts of him they were built to protect. Tough Crowd is a queer dark comedy about mental illness, self-sabotage, and the terrifying vulnerability of being truly seen — one that ends not with Eddie's friends disappearing, but with him learning to live alongside them, and to let Virgil in anyway.

HORROR INFUSED MYSTERY CONCEPT

0 Upvotes

!!!!!DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!! The following concept raw script contains events and sequences which are fictional. This concept is open and free for all screenwriters, writers, concept creators and indie filmmakers without any WGA or US Copyright registers. If you like the concept and its creativity we firmly ask you to comment your feedback if you wish. All critiques and feedbacks would be received calmly and without any intensions.

Title or name for concept is not developed yet because of incomplete status of the concept.

" Scene 1: The Kitchen Breakdown

INT. DINING ROOM - DAY

A young boy sits alone at a wooden dining table. A half-eaten plate of spaghetti sits in front of him, getting cold. He pays no attention to it. His eyes are glued to a cracked Samsung Galaxy S5 propped up against a glass. On the screen, a fantasy e-book is open. He is desperately trying to submerge himself in the text.

Suddenly, muffled voices from the adjacent room cut through the quiet. It is his MOTHER and STEPFATHER. Their tone escalates into an arrogant, vicious argument.

The boy freezes. His chest tightens. He has a hidden, underlying sickness—a visceral, physical ailment that violently spikes whenever people clash over deep moral boundaries. The toxic atmosphere acts like a physical poison in his veins.

The shouting matches become unbearable, echoing in his head. The internal noise drives him to a breaking point. With a sudden burst of agonizing frustration, he side-throws his phone across the room.

CAMERA SHIFTS: A tracking shot follows the trajectory of the phone. It flies past the table and crashes directly into the stainless steel facade of the dishwasher.

CLOSE-UP: The phone screen impacts the metal. A tight, delicate spiderweb fracture spiders out across the glass, causing minor but visible damage to the display.

Scene 2: The Escape

EXT. OPEN FIELD - CONTINUOUS

CAMERA SHIFTS: A wide, open-air shot reveals a isolated, two-level house situated in the middle of a vast open field. Dense, towering trees surround the edges of the property under an overcast sky.

CAMERA ZOOMS IN: The lens pushes aggressively toward the front door of the house. Suddenly, the wooden door cracks open with a violent bang. The boy rushes out into the open air, fleeing the suffocating house. The door swings wildly on its hinges and stays wide open behind him.

CAMERA SHIFTS: The camera repositions to a far vantage point in the field.

ZOOM IN: The camera lenses compress the distance as the boy walks rapidly toward us. He is clamping his hands tightly over his ears. He looks profoundly uncomfortable, trying to shut out the residual trauma of the noise.

CAMERA SHIFTS: The frame cuts to a parallel tracking shot, keeping pace alongside the boy as he moves fast across the uneven ground. His fingers press against his temples. His face contorts into a clear, unmistakable grimace of sheer sensory overwhelm.

Scene 3: The Descent

EXT. EXPOSED FIELD / THE WELL - CONTINUOUS

CAMERA SHIFTS: The perspective switches to a high-angle overhead shot looking down at the landscape.

The boy walks deeper into the overgrown grass, focused inward. His foot suddenly makes contact with a fragile, rotted wooden cover concealed by the weeds—a hidden, forgotten well.

The wood gives way under his weight. The boy plunges into the opening, his voice echoing with shock as he disappears from the surface.

CAMERA SHIFTS: A low-angle shot from inside the well looks up, capturing the silhouette of the boy descending toward the lens.

CAMERA SHIFTS: The frame cuts back to the surface viewpoint, looking down into the opening as the boy reaches a layer of pitch-black darkness.

Scene 4: The Void

INT. THE ABYSS - CONTINUOUS

CAMERA SHIFTS: The framing stays parallel to the boy as his surroundings instantly shift into a total, consuming blackness.

As he moves through the void, the nature of the descent changes. The momentum of the fall slows to a crawl. The boy ceases to plummet; instead, he begins to float, suspended in the absolute darkness.

The sound of his voice fades into the quiet. A look of profound wonder replaces his initial fear.

CAMERA SHIFTS: A medium shot tracks him as he drifts weightlessly, as if floating in the vacuum of a deep cosmos. He finds he can breathe easily in this impossible space, and the realization leaves him stunned.

CAMERA SHIFTS: The viewpoint changes abruptly, adopting the perspective of a presence watching from a vast distance within the darkness.

POV SHOT (THE ENTITY): The camera surges toward the floating boy with immense, sudden speed. It closes the distance like a rushing wind, tearing through the void toward the center of the frame.

Just as the perspective reaches him—

FADE TO BLACK.

AUDIO ONLY: Over the pitch-black screen, the we hear the young boys scream voice undergoes a surreal transformation, shifting instantly into the startled, resonant voice of a grown man creating mystery more dark and horrorful....."

Thank you in advance to everybody who can find the time to read these 30 pages (first draft).

Exchange feedback Trouble Finding a Co-Writer

1 Upvotes

Not talking about a notes group or accountability buddy I mean someone you actually write with. Develop ideas together, split scenes, the whole thing.

I've wanted this for years and have basically failed at finding it every time. Tried reaching out cold to people whose work I liked (awkward and nothing came of it). Took a workshop specifically hoping to meet someone (met nice people, nothing clicked creatively). Posted in a couple places online (one weird response, one person who ghosted after two emails).

The frustrating thing is I know it works. Plenty of teams out there doing great stuff. But every working duo I've heard talk about it says they met through some random circumstance a class, a job, a friend of a friend. Nobody seems to have gone looking for it and found it.

So how did it actually happen for you if it did? And if you tried and it fell apart, what killed it?

Genuinely asking, not going anywhere with this, just feeling like I'm missing something obvious.

Hello, I'm 15M and this is my first short film script for practicing being a writer-director. I wrote it in 7days after erasing the original concept, but I feel like it a pretty solid start. It's wayyy over my budget anyways lol, but it was just something unique I thought up while watching a tiktok.

I wanted something with a theme/message people on social media (specifically tiktok) could recognize, but also real characters, but I fell flat.

But anyways, thanks for reading (even if it was a few pages) and yeah. Enjoy. ❤️

AMA Rate my movie idea

0 Upvotes

This is the beginning of a larger story about a fantasy universe and the Legendary Weapons.

Long ago, a being named Byron created 10 Legendary Weapons to protect the universe and galaxies from various disasters and threats.

In addition, for the Legendary Weapons, the Raidomizer was created — a special building enchanted with magic. It is the one that chooses a worthy person who can become the wielder of one of the Legendary Weapons.

The first movie tells the story of one of these weapons — the Bita.

Sixteen years ago, because of Byron’s mistake, the Bita was lost.

The story begins on the planet Sicilius. Argayd’s role is to monitor objects in space and develop various technologies. A couple of years ago, he created a device designed to search for objects made from the same metal as the Legendary Weapons.

And after two years, his device finally detects 27 objects made from the same metal that was used to create the Legendary Weapons. Among them, Argayd notices an object whose size exactly matches the size of the Bita.

Argayd immediately informs Byron — the leader of Sicilius and the creator of the Legendary Weapons. They understand that the object is located on a planet unknown to them. Byron gathers a small team of four beings, and they travel there.

That planet turns out to be Earth.

The story then shifts to Demid, a sixteen-year-old boy who lives a difficult life. Because of constant problems with his stepfather and frequent moving, he has barely attended a regular school and has spent most of his time being homeschooled. He lives with his mother and stepfather and has no idea that his life is about to completely change.

On his sixteenth birthday, Demid travels with his family to visit his biological father. There, he learns more about the reason his parents separated.

Later, Demid ends up in a field and finds an ordinary-looking wooden bat.

He calmly picks it up, not realizing that it is actually a Legendary Weapon.

Ever since his birth, Demid had been chosen by the Raidomizer as the worthy wielder of that particular weapon.

Later, Byron’s team proves to Demid that the wooden bat he found is only the hidden form of a true Legendary Weapon.

But at the same time, another danger is already threatening the universe.

Even before Argayd discovered the Bita, the threat level known as the Raid had begun to rise rapidly. Now the Raid is at a high level, and the inhabitants of Sicilius are preparing for a possible war.

Byron’s team arrives on Earth, and after the events that take place there, Demid is taken to Sicilius. There, he is told about the fantasy universe, other planets, the origin of the Legendary Weapons, and why he was chosen as their worthy wielder.

After that, Byron, his team, and Demid begin traveling to different planets, trying to gather allies and strengthen their army before the possible battle.

In the end, the first movie leads to a massive battle against a maximum-level Raid.

Would you watch a movie with a story like this?

Which part of the idea sounds the most interesting to you? What seems weak, unclear, or in need of further development?

Designed as a cinematic, large-scale theatrical event, this film subverts traditional disaster tropes. It trades a neat Hollywood ending for a powerful, tragic climax that resonates deeply with audiences. The feature treatment is fully prepared. I would love to send the material over for your review.
