Leaked Elder Scrolls Movie Script

Post » Thu Dec 31, 2009 1:16 pm

So I found this leaked script of the upcoming Elder scrolls movie. It hasn't been announced, and actors nor a director have been chosen, but here's the script. I don't know if it's for real or anything, or if this is the final draft, but it sure would be awesome if it were real.
It's a good read, if nothing else.

Enjoy!

Scene One -- EXT. BUILDING TOP - NIGHT

[a masked man crouches atop a building, surveying the nightscape of the Imperial City from his perch]

GREY FOX (voiceover)
"Grey Fox's Journal. 12th of Frostfall, 433. Dog carcass in alley this morning, horse hooves on burst stomach. This province is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The roads are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their six and murder will foam up about their waists and all the [censored]s and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!'
[dramatic closeup]
"... and I'll whisper 'no.'"
[rock music as he leaps down from the building, disapearing off camera]

[Grey Fox walks down a dimly lit alley, hands in pockets, his true identity hidden from the world]
GREY FOX (voiceover)
"They had a choice, all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men like my father, or Emperor Uriel. Decent men who believed in a days work for a day's pay." [slow rotation of camera around Grey Fox] "Instead they followed the droppings of Necromancers and Wood Eleves and didn't realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late." [GF flicks a coin into a bowl next to a begger passed out in the alley. GF then walks out of the alley and marches briskley down the street]
"Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into Oblivion, all those mages and Nibens and rogues..." [camera stop; GF continues walking fast down the street, and he slowly sisapeares into the darkness] "... And all of a sudden, nobody can think of anything to say..."
[buildings erupt into fiery explosions on either side of the camera, litghting up the stree, but GF is gone]
[guitar solo; picture fades out]


Scene Five -- INT. IMPERIAL CITY PRISON - NIGHT

[GF is arrested and taken to the Imperial City prison. Valen Dreth is in the cell across from him]

VALEN DRETH
"So the infamous Grey Fox has finaly been caught. Really, you should have seen this coming, you aren't that great at all! What kind of two-bit master thief gets caught?!"

GREY FOX
"Don't mess with me, Dreth."

VALEN DRETH
"Oh! Do you really think you could hurt me, Grey Fox? In here, especialy? No, you can't! And in fact, you're going to DIE in here! Ahehehehehahahaha!"

GREY FOX
"You don't understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me."

[little do the characters know, the Nereverine has hatched a plan to initiate a prison riot, and after he unlocks many cell doors, a lot of prison guards are killed in an epic, bloody fight between prisoners and guards. It is a distraction, and the Nerevarine makes his way down to GF's cell, which he unlocks]

[GF steps out of his cell and looks at the Nerevarine]
GREY FOX
"Just like when we were partners."

NEREVARINE
"Those were good times, huh Grey Fox? What happened?"

GREY FOX
[looks away] "You quit."

[rock music plays as GF walks towards VD's cell, rips the door off it's hinges, and toses it aside. VD cowars in the corner in fear]

GREY FOX
[turns to NV] "Excuse me, I have to take out the trash."
[GF walks off camera into the cell. VD screams and blood splatters out of the cell. Sound of flushing toilet. GF walks back on camera]

GREY FOX
"Okay, let's go."

[cut to outside scene. GF and NV are calmly walking away from the Imperial City prison in slow motion. The prison behind them explodes, but, like total badasses, they don't look back. NV casualy carries a crossbow over his shoulder and GF is wearing sunglasses at night. Rock music plays in the background, forground, and middleground. These guys are totaly [censored] awesome]


Scene Nine -- INT. VIVEC'S PALACE - NIGHT

[GF confronts VIVEC in his palace in MORROWIND, where he is assembeling a strange, Dwemer machine. Vivec is naked.]

GREY FOX (voiceover)
"He probably wouldn't listen to me, but I had to try. I had to tell the indestructable man that someone planned to murder him."

VIVEC
[who is naked] "I'm afraid I don't understand the urgency of the situation."

GREY FOX
"Don't you get it? The Emperor is dead! [he flips the Amulet of Kings, stained with a single blood drop, to Vivec. Vivec, without looking, put his hand out and makes it hover in mid air]

VIVEC:
[who still isn't wearing any pants] "That tuely must be bothersome to this empire's citizens, but I doubt that I am in any serious danger. I've walked through the realms of Oblivion. I've kept a moon from crushing my city. I erected the Ghost Gate. I don't believe much, if anything, can pose a threat to me, Grey Fox."

GREY FOX
"Don't give me that philisophical [censored]! And you could at least look at me when we're talking."

VIVEC "I'm sorry." [Vivec duplicates himself; one carries on in coversation with GF, and the other continues to work on the mysterious machine. Both are naked. GF rolls his eyes]

GREY FOX
"You obviously consider that machine more important than your life. What is it anyway?"

1st VIVEC Clone
[turns from machine, showing full frontal male nudity] "In my opinion, the existence of life is a highly overrated phenomenon."

2nd VIVEC Clone
[also naked] "I am making this machine on request by Divayth Fyr. It is based on ancient Dwemer technology, and when it is finished, it will be capable of providing great and restorative magica to the citizens of Tamriel."

GREY FOX
[grabs amulet out of the air] "I've tried to warn you, but if you won't listen to me, I guess I'm finished here."
[as GF exits, close up on Vivec's golden shlong]


Scene Fourteen -- INT/EXT. DIVAYTH FYR's SECRET LAIR - NIGHT

[a map showing the route taken by GF, NV and naked Vivec as they travel to Divayth Fyr's secret lair in real time, a la Indiana Jones. It's so fast because GF and NV are flying on the back of Vivec, even though you can't see this]
GREY FOX (voiceover)
"Grey Fox's journal. Final entry. Fyr's behind everything. Why? What's his endgame? I cannot imagine a more dangerous opponent. Used to joke he was fast enough to catch an arrow. He could kill us both, alone in the snow. That's where we're going now. Skyrim. Whether I'm alive or dead upon this reading, I hope the world survives long enough for this journal to reach you. I live my life free of compromise, and step into the shadow without complaint or regret. Grey Fox. First of Sun's Dusk."

[Vivec uses his god-like powers to blast a hole into Fyr's lair. All three rush in, NV carries a huge ass hammer in one hand and a huge ass sword in the wother; GF has a fast action crossbow with explosive tipped bolts; Vivec is naked. They end up in a large, dome shaped room, suitable for boss battles]

FYR
"So you've finaly figured it all out..."
[Fyr's voice drifts down from above; our three heroes look around untill they spot him]

GREY FOX
"It's over, Fyr, you can't take on all three of us at the same time."

FYR
[laughs] "Is that so?"

VIVEC
"The world's smartest Dunmer poses no more threat to me than does its smartest cliffracer. Both are unremarkable; both will soon be extinct."

[Fyr claps his hands. Five hidden doors around the room slide open, and one of Fyr's 'daughters' gracfully slinks out of each one. All are scantily clad in bikini bonemold armor, and all are incredibly sixy. Each one carries a basket of food]

FYR
"Before we begin our final fight, let us all feast. You are guests in my home, and I shall treat you as such."

[NV reaches for some food, but GF slaps his hand away]

GREY FOX
"No, you fool! The food is poisoned!"

[Vivec ignores the food and the women, as he is neither hungry nor aroused (obviously)]
VIVEC
"What did you do with the machine I built, Divayth?"

FYR
"I've rigged it to explode in the Imperial city, tearing open the fabric of Nirn itself and allowing Mehrunes Dagon and his daedra army to invade."

NEREVARINE
"But why?! Why would you want to do that?"

FYR
"To ensure a better world for everyone in Tamriel. Martin will become the saviour this world needs, uniting the kingdom!"

GREY FOX
"Everyone's gonna know what you've done..."

FYR
"Will they? By exposing me, you would sacrifice the peace so many died for today. "

NEREVARINE
"Peace based on a lie."

FYR
"But peace! Nonetheless."

VIVEC
"...He's right. Exposing Divayth would only doom Tamriel to destruction again."

GREY FOX
"No... we can't do this!"

VIVEC
"If we hope to preserve life here, we must remain silent."

GREY FOX
"Keep your own secrets..."

[the others look as GF leaves, then Vivec and Fyr make eye contact]

NEREVARINE
"Don't even think about it." [NV goes after GF] "Grey Fox! Wait."

GREY FOX
[Turns] "Never compromise. Not even in the face of Oblivion. That's always been the difference between us, Nerevar" [Leaves the building]

FYR
"I've made myself feel every death... see every innocent face I've murdered to save Tamriel." [turns to Vivec] "You understand, don't you?"

VIVEC
"Without condoning... or condemning. I understand."

GREY FOX
[Outside, in the snow, he comes across Vivec standing in the snow] "Out of my way. People have to be told."

VIVEC
"You know I can't let you do that."

[GF gets on a motorcycle with kneecappers.]

GREY FOX
"Just try and stop me!" [tires squeel as he floors it outta there!]

[Vivec hops on another motorcycle with kneecappers and takes off after GF. A chase scene ensues, and a steadicam is not used. The motorcycles go off jumps and stuff, with explosions going off, and at one point Vivec does a flip. GF supplies a steady rate of fire on Vivec from his automatic crossbow, but ultimately Vivec takes him down by making the gas canister on his motorcycle explode. GF falls to the ground, defeated. Vivec walks up to him and stands above him, offering a great shot of his manhood]

GREY FOX
[breathing hard] "If you'd cared from the start... none of this would've happened."

VIVEC
"I can change almost anything... but I can't change human nature."

GREY FOX
"Of course... you gotta protect Fyr's new Utopia. One more body amongst foundations makes little difference... Well... what are you waiting for? Do it..."

VIVEC
[hesitates] "I'm sorry, Grey Fox..."

GREY FOX
[he takes off his mask. there is no face underneath, only skin] "DO IT!"

[Vivec makes GF explode into a pile of goo]

NEREVARINE
[falling to his knees] "NOOOOOOOO!"

[massive zoom out]

[cut to the Imperial City, where the bomb goes off in a huge explosion, tearing apart the defenses of the natural world, and mixing Nirn with Oblivion. Mehrunes Dagon and an army of daedra step into the city and begin laying waste to all that they see]

[cut back to Vivec and NV]

NEREVARINE
[turns to Vivec] "You ready for this?"

VIVEC "Let's go kick some ass."

[they fly off, presumable to the Imperial City to kick some serious daedra butt. Fade to black. Rock music. credits]
