Her boyfriend, HOLT McLAREN, 33, a better-looking Sean Penn,
vogues to the lighted make-up mirror, pulls at his carefully
crafted spiky bedhead.
MICHELLE, their driver, turns around and regards the couple.
MICHELLE:
You ready?
HOLT:
Ask her, she’s the star.
JULIA:
One sec.
She takes out a lip gloss, doesn’t even look in the mirror,
applies it in one move and hands it to Holt.
JULIA (CONT’D)
You mind? I don’t have any
pockets.
And indeed she doesn’t. The gown is one piece of sheer,
clingy fabric.
She steps from the limo out on to the red carpet.
MUSIC:
“Ride It On” by Mazzy Star...As her Jimmy Choo-clad feet touch down on the red carpet.
Holt climbs out after her, having to slide across the seat to
get there, so his exit is not nearly so graceful. We
recognize his camera face from his vogue-ing in the mirror.
6.
Posters and print ads from the movie everywhere; “Subliminal
Velocity,” all ice-blue with guns and futuristic wardrobe.
They face a SEA OF FLASHES. The “LEGIT” PRESS elbow the
PAPARAZZI...they’re all out in full force, screaming, waving,
flashing, taping...we see but don’t hear their hysterics.
Spittle on the corners of mouths, grabbing at competitors,
faces contorted in desperate pleas for a shot...
SUPER-DUPER SLO-MO now, as they walk up the red carpet,
holding hands. They are the essence of beauty, symmetry,
love.
RETURN TO SPEED -- EAR-SHATTERING SOUND
As the PAPARAZZI scream...and behind them, the deafening
Greek Chorus that is THE FANS, set up behind ropes that are
set up behind ropes. They scream for one glance, one wave,
knowing that their Gods will never make it over to them for
an autograph.
The photogs and vid-hounds fire away at the couple. We MOVE
BACK AND FORTH between the smooth red carpet POV of the stars
and the rough, hand-held scrum that is the press pit.
VARIOUS PHOTOGRAPHER POVS
As the photos frame up and FREEZE. We watch them move from
photos of Julia and Holt, to photos of Julia only, as Holt isframed further and further out, until he’s not in the photos
at all.
ONE PAPARAZZ0
Can we get a fashion shot of Julia,
please?
(A nice way of getting Holt out of the shot.)
Julia and Holt greet KIRA KLAY, Julia’s best friend and
fellow it-girl of the moment.
KIRA:
(to Julia)
Hey Sexy.
JULIA:
Look who’s talking.
They pose together for some photos, Kira doing her trademark
wild-child-sticking-out-pierced-tongue thing while Julia goes
for classic starlet.
Holt watches as Julia shimmers her way through an interview
with “Access Hollywood”.
7.
Holt watches the feeding frenzy on Julia. He gets pushed
closer and closer to the velvet ropes, bumping up against the
sweaty paparazzi.
