Okay so two things:

One: This thread is dead

Two: I'm bored so I decided to re-read the series and decided i gonna make it into a script (my mind works weirdly i know)

So I started and here's what i have so far. Let me know what you think! (I also tried to write it in like a real script format, but that failed)

SCENE 1

FADE IN

EXT. Zoomed-out image of the Commons of Quill with parents and children waiting. It is eerily silent.

SLOWLY ZOOM IN

Camera zooms in to ALEX and AARON and their parents.

MR. STOWE: (Put’s finger in ALEX’s back)

ALEX: (Looks up at MR. STOWE and then quickly looks down, then glances at AARON standing to his left)

JUSTINE: (Walks onto the stage in front of the Commons) The Wanted children are: (starts listing names)

(her voice fades out and camera zooms back to ALEX and AARON)

JUSTINE: (Voice gets louder as the camera is focused on ALEX and AARON) And Aaron Stowe.

(JUSTINE goes on to list the Neccesaries and Unwanteds. Camera stays focused on ALEX and AARON)

JUSTINE: Among the Unwanted are: Samheed Burkesh (he steps up and HALUKI chains him)

(JUSTINE lists more names and each child steps up and gets chained by HALUKI)

JUSTINE: Lani Haluki (Steps up and gets chained), Meghan Ranger (steps up and gets chained), Alexander Stowe (steps up and gets chained), and Cole Wickett (steps up and gets chained)

(STRANG gets up and leads the Unwanteds away)

AARON: (as they get led away, to ALEX, whispering) Goodbye.

(Unwanteds board the bus)

INT. Bus

(ALEX looks around and he stares at SAMHEED)

SAMHEED: (Looks at ALEX) What’re you looking at?

ALEX: (looks down quickly)

GOVERNOR: (yelling) Silence! Unwanteds are not to speak!

(ALEX looks around again and his eyes land on LANI in the seat behind him. She looks like she was crying. ALEX smiles at LANI and LANI smiles back)

ALEX: (quietly) I’m Alex. It’ll go quickly.

LANI: (quietly) Lani. And no, it won’t.

(Bus brakes and the Unwanteds are led out)

EXT. Death Farm

(GOVERNOR unlocks the gate)

GOVERNOR: (shouts) Summon the Eliminators!

(Eliminators come out of the gate and surround the children)

MEGHAN: (shakily reaches for Alex’s hand and whispers) What are they?

ALEX: (grabs her hand and squeezes it and whispers) I don’t know.

(GOVERNOR leads them through the gate, leave, and lock it behind them)

(The Eliminators wait until JIM comes out and lands in front of the Unwanteds. He nods at the Eliminators and looks at the Unwanteds intently)

JIM: (slowly) Wel… come. We’ve been (pause) ex… pect… ing you.

SAMHEED: (mutters under his breath and balls his fists)

JIM: (slowly) Mar… cus. It’s time.

(MR. TODAY comes out of the gray shack slowly and children huddle together, scared. The death farm starts spinning around them)

MEGHAN: (cries out) What’s happening?!

(ALEX squeezes MEGHAN’s hand)

(Death Farm transforms into the mansion)

EXT. The lawn

(Eliminators turn into girrinos)

MR. TODAY: (standing in front of them) Greetings, friends. I am Marcus Today. Welcome to Artimé. Tell me, children. How does it feel to be eliminated?
