Logan's Run Page #6

Follow a shadowy form as it moves, twists through other writhing

shadows -- upward, upward. Suddenly the form is spread-eagled, and

in a moment it is sharply outlined against the swirling canopy and

then -- a searing flash. And it is gone.

SOUND:
Crowd in a frenzy -- SCREAMING.

47FULL ANGLE - THE BLEACHER CROWD - FAVORING LOGAN

Standing. SCREAMING their cheers as:

48FULL SHOT - UP AT CAROUSEL

High, reaching downward out of the shadows beneath the dome,

fringing, intersecting rainbow bands appear, looping the swirling

upper Carousel like Saturn's rings. Now we see figures reaching

outward toward them...reaching and missing and falling -downward

against the curtain and the flash of extinction.

49MEDIUM ANGLE - A MAN

At the highest level...straining for the rainbow...

50SWEEPING PAN SHOT - THE BLEACHER CROWD

Hysterical...starting to chant...

CROWD:

Renew!

The man continues to strain:

CROWD:

Renew!

51CLOSE ANGLE - THE MAN

Almost a blur...but still straining:

CROWD'S CHANT

Renew!

52CLOSE ON - LOGAN AND FRANCIS

LOGAN AND FRANCIS

(chanting with the rest)

Renew!

53CLOSE ANGLE - THE MAN

The blur...but still there...straining with all his might for the

rainbow...

CROWD'S CHANT

Re...

Suddenly, the man...topples into the whirling blackness

below...where he is instantly incinerated.

54WIDE ANGLE - THE CAROUSEL

Whirling - whirling - the rainbows shining.

55WIDE ANGLE - THE BLEACHERS

Orgiastic pleasure -- a Spanish crowd at a perfect killing --

SCREAMING, fulfilled.

56 OUT

57FULL ANGLE - THE CAROUSEL

Other figures move to the topmost level...straining for the rainbow

bands.

58CLOSE ON - LOGAN AND FRANCIS

As the SCREAMING goes on in the b.g. of the SHUT... we hear a

BUZZING noise. Logan reaches into a pocket and takes out a small,

dark plastic box.

Logan looks at the box. On it we see:

MAN:
RELIVE STORE 14

LOGAN:

(to Francis)

Looks like I'm working.

Francis stands.

LOGAN:

Who invited you?

FRANCIS:

I'm in my party mood.

Logan smiles . . . and the CAMERA PANS them rushing out of the

bleachers.

They make their way into the hall.

Logan takes out the small plastic box. We can tell from his face

that he is disappointed...until a faint BEEPING SOUND emanates from

the box.

Francis watches as Logan wheels in one direction... the beeping

stops. He turns in another direction... again, there is no beeping.

As Logan turns in a third direction...the BEEPING commences.

Logan and Francis move swiftly in that direction and the BEEPING

GROWS LOUDER...AND LOUDER...until Logan and Francis see:

59-

59X11 WIDE ANGLE - A MAN

running.

CHASE:
INTER CUT between Logan and Francis following the running man

in the great hall...empty. We can HEAR the CROWD SCREAMING in

Carousel offstage.
