So James and I started writing the first part of the script for Cthulhu.
We managed to achieve the first 13 pages, including the opening scene. The opening couple of scenes, to roll before the title sequence, involve a group of marine biologists out at sea, on a rented fishing boat. While the fisherman do their work, the marine biologists are attempting to get readings on an earthquake hey believe to be imminent. As if out of nowhere, the bright sunny clear sky turns as black as night, fray clouds and a huge storm hits. This causes mass amounts of waves, and the biologists detect readings they never thought possible. Two marine biologists run out on to the deck, dangerously, and manage to get into their submersible, and head under water to see if they can find the cause. Whilst underwater,the biologists on the boat announce that the storm has suddenly stopped, much to their confusion. The two underwater continue on regardless, finding a giant underwater city with strange writing and decaying buildings everywhere. Suddenly the submersible starts shaking, and one of the biologists spies something, and a look of terror goes down his face. As the other biologist looks the outside of the submersible is seen, as a huge yellow eye opens, and the screen fades to black.
We then wrote the intro to the protagonist, which just included him at work, and a short phone all with his wife.
We intend to keep writing more and I shall keep this blog updated with everything we write which happens in the script.
