Dave Made a Maze Page #4

Synopsis: 'Dave Made A Maze' re-imagines classic 80's adventure films with a modern comedic edge and a higher body count. Dave, an artist who has yet to complete anything significant in his career, builds a fort in his living room out of pure frustration, only to wind up trapped by the fantastical pitfalls, booby traps, and critters of his own creation. Ignoring his warnings, Dave's girlfriend Annie leads a band of oddball explorers on a rescue mission. The handmade fantasy world comes to life with puppetry, stop-motion animation, and in-camera optical illusions, re-igniting the tactile sense of wonder from the movies of our childhoods.

- Ok, let's start with Annie.

Thank you, Gordon. All right.

Hold this for a second.

And I see that she keys left.

Do you have a bounce? I'd like to get

some fill on the other side of her face...

We're here in the maze

and we're rescuing Dave.

Great, hold on,

hold that thought. Not yet.

Good instincts.

Ok, so, Annie,

start with your name and age.

My name's Annie,

and we're rescuing Dave.

From the maze.

Ok, Annie,

when did Dave become able to

bring inanimate objects to life?

What?

We were just attacked

by giant origami birds.

Your thoughts?

I don't know.

What are your thoughts?

Often in the media,

women are portrayed as

incomplete without a man,

either talking about a guy,

or in this case

physically searching for a guy.

- What do you think about that?

What? I really don't care.

You don't care? You're a woman, you

don't care about gender stereotypes?

What are you, Betty Friedan?

Let's just keep it

about the maze.

You want me

to minimize her as a person

and just allow her identity

through a gender telescope fine!

- I want us to stay focused!

- You want me to stay focused?

Annie!

Is Dave important to you?

What would you do if

something happened to him?

- I...

- Hey, you guys!

This place is huge.

Jane, did you see

anything back there?

No, I didn't see anything.

This is a blast, huh?

Hold on, hold on.

Have you seen any of the other...

No, don't move!

Ok.

Look at me, I'm like a statue!

Why am I not moving, Annie?

Uh, Jane, just listen to him,

you might have triggered

a booby trap.

Booby trap?

No... no one else

stepped on this?

It's like a f***ing

cocktail party in here,

and nobody stepped on this?

Shh!

Ok. I think we're good.

Oh.

What?

- What the hell is this?

- Is this blood?

Is this my good yarn?

Did she die, or did she just

turn into a craft project?

Her head fell off, so I'm

gonna say that, she's dead?

I don't know!

Greg!

You're getting so cold.

I'm coming to get you, Brynn!

Greg?

I can hear you.

Greg?

Why did Dave build booby traps?

Because it's a labyrinth!

If it didn't have booby traps,

it would just be a series

of articulated hallways.

I don't care what it is.

I want to know why

it's killing people!

Ok, that's great,

but could you rephrase that

to more directly address

whether

what's happening here is real?

I want to get out of here!

Brynn! Are you Ok?

No, I am not Ok!

I want to get out

of this stupid maze.

Stop.

Hey, um...

You look nice, how are you?

- What?

- More of a...

Look, uh, we don't have time

for this, Brynn!

We are trapped inside

some sort of a death maze,

and we need to find our friends

and get the f*** out of here!

Ok, why are you shaking me?
