Brotherhood of the Wolf Page #2

Synopsis: In 1765 something was stalking the mountains of central France. A 'beast' that pounced on humans and animals with terrible ferocity. Indeed they beast became so notorious that the King of France dispatched envoys to find out what was happening and to kill the creature. By the end, the Beast of Gevaudan had killed over 100 people, to this day, no one is entirely sure what it was, wolf? hyena? or something supernatural? Whatever it was, shepherds had the same life-expectancy as the red-suited guys in 'Star Trek'. The Beast is a popular myth in France, albeit one rooted firmly in reality; somewhat surprisingly it is little known to the outside world, and perhaps incredibly it has never been made into a movie. Until now... Based on the true story of the Beast of the Gevaudan that terrorized France in the mid-XVIIIth century, the movie aims to tell first and explain afterwards. In the first part, a special envoy of the King of France, altogether biologist, explorer and philosopher, arrives

The pope would even have

sent a spy...

...to see if the Beast has anything

to do with the devil.

Excuse me.

Marianne de Morangias.

Difficult, very difficult.

Everybody was breaking their minds

about it.

Who is next?

- Maxime des Forets. Actor.

That will be easy.

- Be careful. He's a Morangias...

Mrs..

- Hello, mylord, we were talking..

Are you Maxime des Forets?

What a pleasure.

Good actors are rare.

The Marquis was talking about you.

- The Marquis?

He wants to have a chronicle written

about his family.

He's thinking about you.

- Is he?

He is in a good mood.

It's now or never.

But act like you don't know and

let him start talking about it.

Mrs. excuse me...

Aren't you ashamed?

- My God. No.

So, Mr. stuffer... do you like

our region?

Until now i only saw beauties.

Or at least one of them.

Do people talk about girls

this way in the court?

No... Something like this you

should save for the innocent farmers.

I would go to the court if

there were women like you.

Food is being served, Knight.

Let's eat.

I'll follow you.

We were in Saint-Laurent for 12 days

already when we found the most..

..bizarre animal in our nets I ever saw

The indians told me about

holy fish...

...but I was convinced it

was a legend.

I saw a fish with the looks

and size of a trout.

...but it's body was completely covered

with a hairy skin as black as poison.

A hairy trout? You're joking.

- No, mylord.

Salmo Truta Dermopilla,

from Canada.

That is really strange.

- As soft as fur.

Nature is extraordinary.

The water will be cold...

It proves the impossible is

possible sometimes.

With this discovery you earned

a lot of respect.

I doubt he deserves that.

But I admit, Knight,

you got talent as an actor.

If I would have two hands,

I would give an applause.

Jean-Francois.

Please excuse him, mylord.

Your son is right,

Sr. Earl, that animal doesn't exist.

My embalmer in the garden of the

King is very handy.

So you say the Beast does

not exist...

..and we are idiots?

I only say that...

people only used dragons or

squirrels in books or poems.

Lies are sometimes true if

they are being told correctly.

Watch out, mylord. We might not

understand you anymore now.

By the way, are you a

philosopher?

Or worse... an actor?

I think the Knight is mainly

someone from Paris.

Enough about that Beast.

Shall we do some riddles?

I just made a poem.

If Mrs. Earl allows...

If it's not immoral.

- Immoral? No, no.

It's very chaste and sober.

It's not far-fetched.

Just popped into my head.

It's called "The Wolf".

''I did't pay any attention to

it.

Without thinking of evil,

I look at you

Your secret glance strikes me.
