Opening up the world of RESHEEN – THE ISLAND – is “THE SUBURBAN HITWIFE”, an action packed, heart pounding adventure that links several other story-lines to “THE BIGGER PICTURE”, while leaving the viewer shaken, but not stirred, or not in the way that you would expect.
THE SUBURBAN HITWIFE PILOT will be present in this years many Film Festivals across the globe, and will allow GAME to CINEMA (or STREAMING SERVICE) to become more than just dramatic and over-layered special effects of WAR, DESTRUCTION and POLITICAL slavery.
THE SUBURBAN HITWIFE is a fast past, all action, erotic and political resolve that exists on THE ISLAND, where nothing is what it seems, crime is dealt with by mysterious Vigilantes and, not everyone stays dead when they are killed. Enjoy the FREE FULL SCENE.
FADE IN:
EXT. UNKNOWN OPEN WORLD – CONTINUOUS
They stand upon an endless plain, no mountains, no volcanic Redstone horizon, only vast, rolling green stretching beyond sight. Alicia turns slowly, taking it in first.
ALICIA PIEREPOINT
There are no mountains here.
Ray follows her gaze as the wind moves through tall grass like an ocean with no ridges, no volcanic shadow and no Caldon scars. Katerina squints into the distance.
KATERINA VISSION
This is not Resheen.
Far off she sees movement, at least seventy Land Riders, war horses plated in heavy armor, soldiers mounted in disciplined formation moving toward them. Ray narrows his eyes.
LORD RAY THEON
They saw The Portal.
Katerina nods.
KATERINA VISSION
And they are not welcoming.
Alicia turns in the opposite direction to a shallow tear in earth… a slim cave entrance.
ALICIA PIEREPOINT
(points at the tear)
There… a cave.
They move quickly but without panic.
INT. CAVE ENTRANCE – MOMENTS LATER
Dim at first, the air cool the cave silent. They move deeper where the light grows brighter instead of darker and the passage widens. Then… it opens.
INT. GRAND CAVERN – CONTINUOUS
A colossal translucent lake fills the cavern basin, as waterfalls crash down from fractured stone high above. Mist dances in luminous beams while a dozen stone ledges rise between flowing waters like natural balconies. The water glows faintly beneath the surface as if alive. Ray steps to the edge of the ledge, looks down four hundred feet below with perfect clarity. Alicia exhales softly.
ALICIA PIEREPOINT
That’s very convenient, don’t you think?
Ray grins at her, mischief in his eyes, affection not hidden. Katerina notices instantly before she rolls her eyes.
KATERINA VISSION
Oh, good, we go for a swim.
She begins removing her boots without hesitation.
KATERINA VISSION
I swim, you fuck, don’t pollute water with your… perspiration.
Alicia smirks.
ALICIA PIEREPOINT
You’re insufferable, Katerina.
Katerina glances at Ray.
KATERINA
What, he has very good body tone, fragile, yes, but you like him. You marry, be happy, die and then we do good things together.
Ray laughs, Alicia swats lightly at her arm. Katerina doesn’t wait, she sprints… and dives. A flawless cut into the water far below, barely making a splash. Ray and Alicia stare in astonishment while Ray tilts his head slightly. That look again, he takes her hand.
LORD RAY THEON
Do you trust me.
She squeezes back.
ALICIA PIEREPOINT
Of course I do.
They immediately leap together.
WATER IMPACT
The lake envelops them, but it is not cold, not warm, but perfect. They surface laughing as they see Katerina floating nearby, her hair slicked back.
KATERINA
Show-offs!
They swim toward the sandy shoreline carved beneath the waterfall spray, their feet touch soft ground to stand, soaked. The water clings differently here, charged and alive.
SHORELINE – MOMENTS LATER
There is no threat here, there are no soldiers inside the cave. The Riders remain at the entrance, unable to enter. The air feels safe, both tranquil and inviting. Alicia studies the water.
ALICIA PIEREPOINT
This isn’t like Evermore Lake.
Katerina shakes her head.
KATERINA VISSION
No, it is less used here. It is more potent.
Pause.
KATERINA VISSION
But it remembers it.
Ray looks between them.
LORD RAY THEON
If we’re about to do something reckless…
Katerina begins unbuttoning her shirt.
KATERINA VISSION (CONT’D)
Then we may as well do it comfortably.
One by one they strip. No shame, no seduction, just freedom. Clothing discarded onto sand, bare skin catching cavern light. Alicia steps back into the water first, Ray follows as Katerina wades in last, sighing softly.
Finally, they dive, swimming down deep into the basin. The water amplifies sensation, every movement lighter, as finally they resurface laughing. Their echoes ripple through the cavern. For a time, they are not hunted, not prophesied, not burdened, just alive. Katerina attempts to dive deeper but resurfaces with a mild annoyance.
KATERINA VISSION
These are inconvenient in buoyancy.
She gestures vaguely to her large breasts, as Alicia laughs uncontrollably.
ALICIA PIEREPOINT
You volunteered first.
Ray dives beneath them, disappearing into the darkened depths, Alicia follows without hesitation as below, the water shifts in tone. Darker, bluer as something stirs. Katerina remains above, watching as her Valoric nature keeps her untouched by whatever subtle influence is washing through the lake.
She senses it… something’s wrong. Below, Alicia and Ray clasp hands instinctively as the depths ripple and a shadow starts to grow. Large, circular, moving upward very fast. Ray’s eyes widen as he squeezes her hand. They kick hard toward the surface to finally Break through water.
LORD RAY THEON
(SHOUTS)
OUT!
They swim hard to shore, Katerina already moving as eventually all three scramble onto the sand, breathing hard they turn as the lake convulses, water spirals inward, as a roar like thunder belches underwater.
Then… It rises; a massive Portal erupts from the center of the lake, watery, translucent and shifting. No defined edges, just a vertical ring of liquid light as from it extends a crystalline transparent walkway stretching outward across the water to shore. Dripping shards that reform into liquid upon contact with the lake below.
LORD RAY THEON (CONT’D)
(whispers)
That’s not subtle.
Katerina steps closer cautiously.
KATERINA VISSION
It wants us to enter!
They quickly dress, practical movements, no panic. Alicia’s Vigil Mark glows steadily now as The Portal pulses in rhythm with it. Ray looks at her.
LORD RAY THEON
Still sure about this?
She nods once.
ALICIA PIEREPOINT
It’s not chasing us.
Katerina steps onto the walkway first to test it. Solid, despite being water, Ray joins, Alicia follows. They walk toward the enormous aqueous ring as it hums, inviting, no heat, no threat, just inevitability. They stop at its threshold and exchange looks with no more words and step through. The watery surface folds around them… and then seals as the cavern falls silent once more.
And somewhere in The Crimson River, The Architect feels it… Interference, acceleration. The 13th Rune has chosen.
FADE TO BLACK.
THE SUBURBAN HITWIFE – PILOT (SAMPLE SCENE) will be show-cased around the many FILM FESTIVALS this year and is hoped to attract a lot of attention as to the Full Series being picked up.
