Final Destination Page #3

Synopsis: Final Destination is an American horror franchise composed of five films, comic books and novels. It is based on an unproduced spec script by Jeffrey Reddick, originally written for the X-Files television series, and was distributed by New Line Cinema. All five films center around a small group of people that escape impending death when one individual (the protagonist of each film) has a sudden premonition and warns them that they will all die in a terrible mass-casualty accident. After evading their foretold deaths, the survivors are killed one by one in bizarre accidents caused by an unseen force engineering complicated chains of cause and effect, resembling Rube Goldberg machines in their complexity.

HARE KRISHANA:

Death is not the end.

CAMARA PUSHES IN ON ALEX... unsettled by the soft spoken, yet ominous,

"Solicitation." The Krishana offers a small book, REALITY BEYOND THE MATTER:

VAISHNAVA PHILOSOPHY.

As he hands the book to Alex, a female form ENTERS FRAME between them. The

women is MISS VALERIE LEWTON, 30, a feisty English teacher whose figure

inspires all the boys' fantasies.

MS. LEWTON

It will be for you if you harass

my students.

She places a hand on Alex's shoulder, herding him to the group.

HARE KRISHANA:

(pissy)

Hare Rama.

Ms. Lewton turns and, while walking backward, flashes a smile...

MS. LEWTON

(mouths)

F*** off.

As she turns her back and continues down the terminal...

CUT TO:

INT. CHECK IN DESK - AIRPORT - DAY

Alex's passport and ticket are set INTO FRAME and picked up by a female

TICKET CLERK. Alex waits as she busily types into the computer and checks

his passport...

TICKET CLERK:

I have a few questions to ask

you , this afternoon.

O.S., LOUD, EXAGGERATED plastic tiles rapidly CLICK and CLACK

TICKET CLERK (CONT'D)

Did you pack these bags yourself?

The CLACKING CONTINUES, demading Alex's attention. His eyes turn forward.

ALEX'S POV - THE FLIGHT INFORMATION BOARD

Plastic tabs CLACK rapidly, settling on the word... "CANCELLED."

ALEX:

CAMARA CREEPS IN on his dawning paranoia...

TICKET CLERK (CONT'D, O.S.)

Have your belongings remained in your

possession the entire time?

Alex absently nods. Again, O.S., CLACK CLACK CLACK. His eyes move to...

ALEX'S POV - (TIGHTER) - FLIGHT INFORMATION BOARD

The plastic tabs FLIP and CLACK rapidly, stopping on... "DEPARTED."

TICKET DESK:

Alex is still considering the "messages..."

TICKET CLERK:

Have you recieved any packages

from persons unknown to you?

Alex quickly runs the day through his head and flashes her the REALITY

BEYOND MATTER book. She smiles, then leans over toward the baggage scales.

Alex's eyes turn toward...

CLOSE - (MOTION SLOWED)- ALEX"S LUGGAGE

a new airline I.D. marker is attached to his bag.

RETURN:

Alex eyes the new tag hoping it's "good luck." As the clerk returns his

ticket and passport... CLACK, CLACK, CLACK.

TICKET CLERK:

Same as your birthday.

Alex is puzzeled by the comment. He shakes his head if, "pardon me?" CAMARA

INCHES INTO the ticket clerk gesturing pleasantly to the passport and

ticket...

TICKET CLERK (CONT'D)

April 25th. Four-twenty-five...

your birthday is the same as your

departure time.

CLACK. CLACK. CLACK. Alex's eyes flash toward...
