Project Fwoar T206 Final Project

Treatment: Taken

Scene 1

Captain Anker is shown lifting weights vigorously. He has a

short flashback of a mission briefing that took place only hours

ago.

Scene 2

His commanding officers brief him on the mission as he sighs

with disinterest. He appears apathetic in comparison to the

excited officer and subordinates. During the briefing it is

explained to the audience that the Earth was vacated of human

life 100 years ago due to over-pollution. Humans have been

living in space colonies for the past century. Scientists agree

that the time to return is good, if only for a check-up on

Earth’s habitation possibilities. The flashback ends with a loud

salute.

Scene 3

We are brought back to the present as he drops his weights to

the floor. He mumbles to himself, questioning the importance of

the mission and wondering what’s so great about a world humans

left behind. He puts up the weights and showers himself clean.

Scene 4

The scouting party’s ship exits the Hero, a large military

compound, and closes in the on the Earth. The passengers of the

ship notice that the Earth looks bad, possibly worse than the

condition it was left in. One of the passengers asks Captain

Anker to take a look. The ships instruments assess that the

planet is indeed worse off than how the humans left it. The

ozone layer has not improved and the planet is dry and scorched

by the sun. The instruments also indicate life on the planet’s

surface. Next to Anker, a woman is concerned about the planet’s

condition. The woman is Aldana Nikla, Anker’s wife, the ship’s

pilot. Anker asks why this is so big of a deal to her. She

becomes sad and explains that her grandparents always told her

stories about the Earth’s beauty. Anker vaguely tries to comfort

her, with no result. The ship is then beamed down to Earth in a

landing pad.

Scene 5

In the advanced city of Hebron, the party is introduced to the

leader of a race called the Nefilims. The leader calls himself

Hemim. He appears hospitable at first, until the party asks him

why they are living on their planet. Hemim doesn’t take too

kindly and gets into an argument. Hemim threatens their lives

and orders them to leave the planet and not return without

resistance. Anker and his crew return to the Hero.

Scene 6

Back at the Hero, Anker is called by Wagner, his supperior

officer’s office for another briefing. The human leader, Chester

Bloodgood, breaks the news to Anker that Earth is no longer

hospitable and may never be again. Chester adds that human

forces will gather for an assault against the Nephilim. Anker is

less than enthusiastic, questioning why they should bother

fighting for a planet that’s already lost. He storms out of the

office, unsatisfied with the answers from Bloodgood.

Scene 7

Anker enters Aldana’s quarters and tells her the situation. She

reacts excitedly to Anker’s dismay, and they get into a small

argument. Aldana wants to avenge Earth, the once beautiful

planet from her childhood fairy tales, and Anker wants to avoid

an arbitrary conflict. Anker storms off and prepares for another

hopeless venture.

Scene 8

The ship is closing in on the Earth to survey the capabilities

of the Nephilim. During their surveillance they are found by the

Nephilim and come under fire. They attempt to retaliate but the

ship suffers heavy damage and crashes.

Scene 9

Anker is the only survivor, having worn his seat belt. He finds

Aldana amongst the rubble, bleeding to death. He tearfully

apologizes and Aldana forgives him. With her dying breath, she

whispers, “I love you…”Filled with rage, Anker contacts the Hero

and delivers an order for a tactical planet destroyer strike

while he distracts the Nephilim.

Scene 10

Wagner appears in command of the mission to launch the planet

destroyer. We see him frantically interacting with subordinates.

He appears a bit shook up, but determined. The scene is quite

frantic.

Scene 11

Anker rushes towards the capital and sends the Nephilim into a

panic with his combat skills while the Hero closes in on the

planet.

Scene 12

Anker is seen in the midst of the city. He battles in a very

heroic way. The sun is coming down, making the scene more epic.

He is hit in the knee, and falls to the ground, screaming but

continuously fighting.

Scene 13

Wagner is shown pressing the final button to launch the planet

destroyer. He is very shaky but after some hesitation presses

the button.

Scene 14

Anker keeps fighting. He destroys many enemies while kneeling.

He then catches glimpse of the planet destroyer rapidly falling

towards Earth. In his last few seconds, he dedicates his last

kill to Aldana, his lost love.

Scene 15

We see the remains of Earth and the Hero blazing by. Earth is

mostly gone and almost impossible to recognize. Wagner’s voice

is heard, but he is not seen.

Scene 16

Wagner’s voice continues as we see him giving a speech in a

Burial Ceremony. The people who attend appear to be military

figures. During his speech, Wagner honors Anker, Aldana, and the

rest of the crew. Anker in particular is hailed as a hero, as

the humans begin a new era.

1 INT. REC ROOM – DAY 1

Aboard the military frigate, the Hero, CAPTAIN ANKER is

vigorously lifting weights in a rec. room by himself.

His body is extremely well-toned and he is covered in

sweat and near exhaustion. A flashback occurs when his

face is shown, breathing heavily.

2 INT. FLASHBACK: BRIEFING ROOM – DAY 2

The room is very grey and plain, and a bit crowded for

its size. Anker is sitting among several men in

military uniforms and lab coats, listening to WAGNER,

his superior.

WAGNER

Today's the day men. We're gonna go home!

The men in the room (subordinates) begin to cheer and smile,

except for Anker.

WAGNER

The brilliant men you see here

(he motions to the scientists)

have decided that now is a good time to see how

home's doing after a century of healing.

(he stands up and looks away from the

group with wishful eyes)

It's been a hundred years since we left Earth,

after we so shamelessly polluted her beautiful

skies! Well, we're gonna do things differently

now!

SUBORDINATES

Yeah!

WAGNER

We're gonna go show our children the world

our parent's had. The world we will inherit!

Our REAL home!

SCIENTIST

We're finally going home!

The men around the room begin to shake each other’s

hands and give each other hugs, while Anker remains

stationary and apathetic.

2

WAGNER

Anker, I'd like you to lead the expedition

to see the planet's condition. Whaddaya say?

ANKER

(sighes)

I suppose if I must.

WAGNER

Sit straight soldier! You'll have ALDANA to

keep you company!

ANKER

(perks up a bit, before slinking

back down)

Trying to soften me up, huh? Is that even

within regulations?

WAGNER

I wrote quite a few of those regulations,

I'm sure I can find a loophole for an old

friend.

ANKER

(shrugs)

Fine.

WAGNER

When you get there, you can plan your future

together, try to smile a little!

ANKER

Bribing me? You're not serious enough for

this job, Sojo.

WANGNER

(gives a big smile)

(laughs)

Anker sighes while the men around the table continue

to celebrate.

WAGNER

Alright you crazy bastards. Attention!

All the men in the room, including Anker stand up and

3

face Wagner.

WAGNER

We're gonna make some history today!

Dismissed!

ALL

(salute)

Sir!

3 INT. REC ROOM – DAY 3

The flash back ends and Anker drops the weights with a

loud bang. He pants for a moment and mutters something

the audience can't hear. Then, as he puts the weights

away, he speaks clearly.

ANKER

Earth, what's so special about it?

(he places the weights on the rack)

We left it behind 100 years after we

destroyed it, why bother taking it back? It

may be too late.

He mumbles again and grabs a towel. He leaves the room.

4 EXT. EARTH'S ORBIT – DAY? 4

A small reconnaissance ship, called the Legend, is

entering the Earth's atmosphere. The sky is full of a

thick smog, inhibiting the passenger's ability to see

anything. The ship begins to fly horizontally after a

minute, as several instruments aboard the ship scan the

planet's condition. Inside the Legend, all is quiet as

everyone waits with baited breath to hear about how

Earth is doing. The scientists look distressed. One

passenger calls for the captain through a small

microphone, and Anker enters the scene.

ANKER

Something the matter?

SCIENTIST 2

Sir, the Earth...it's...worse.

ANKER

(raises an eyebrow and cocks his

head)

4

What do you mean?

SCIENTIST 2

The atmosphere, the air, the terrain, all the

data suggests conditions have worsened from

the conditions of the planet that were last

recorded.

ANKER

I see.

The passengers all become quietly distraught. They

share data with others as Anker watches them all

silently. Anker notices a young woman, his wife and the

pilot of the ship, on the verge of tears. She sniffles

and Anker walks over to her.

ANKER

What's wrong?

Aldana, Anker's wife, is looking out the window. She's

not sobbing, but looks like she may any second. She

doesn't turn to Anker, but responds to him.

ALDANA

It's not here. I've waited years for this,

but it's not here...

(her voice cracks)

ANKER

(puts his arm around her)

This wasn't out of the question, dear...

ALDANA

(looks back out the window)

My grandparents told such a different story.

They told me about green fields, forests,

blue seas, and sunsets that go beyond the

horizon.

(she sobs)

ANKER

(looks at her, hugs her tightly, but

says nothing)

SCIENTIST 3

Sir! We've detected life on the planet's

5

surface!

Anker and Aldana perk up. They look out the window, the

planet is burnt orange and dry. The Legend comes into

view of a city with lightly colored buildings that

stretch high into the sky.

ANKER

The hell?

5 EXT. HEBRON – DAY 5

The Legend hovers over a city of enormous towers linked

by bridges and catwalks into a web of steel. The ship

doesn't have a place to land, but the ship is grasped

in a tractor beam. The ship is pulled down to a landing

pad, where several tall purple creatures surround the

ship. The crew on board the ship cautiously lets down

the landing gear and lowers the loading ramp. The few

soldiers on board scramble for weapons, as Anker

retrieves his calmly. They slowly exit the ship, to be

greeted by large purple creatures. Anker exits first,

with Aldana close behind. The two species stare at each

other for a few seconds, before Anker opens the

conversation.

ANKER

Uh...hello. My name is Anker Nikla, do you

understand me?

The purple creatures are very tall and look strikingly

similar to humans. Their faces are slightly more

defined and their eyes appear sharper and seem to look

down on all the humans (besides the fact that they are

taller). They all stand perfectly straight, and move

very little, like statues.

ANKER

G-r-e-e-t-i-n-g-s. Do you un-der-stand me?

BAPPERT

(steps forward)

We can understand you, idiot.

ANKER

(jumps in surprise)

Ah! Er, hello. *Ahem * My name is Captain

6

Anker, we come in peace. What is this city

doing here?

The creatures all give him an incredulous look.

ANKER

This is the home of the humans. What are you

all doing here?

BAPPERT

Your home? This is the home of the Nefilim,

we've been living here for years. What are

YOU doing here?

ALDANA

This is our home! What have you done to it!?

(she charges at Bappert)

Our ancestors built this world and now it's

all gone! Did you do this?!

Anker stops her from moving forward, and the Nefilim

grit their teeth. They part and a rather prestigious

looking Nefilim appears before them. His clothing is

lavishly ornamented, with jewelry stringing from his

coat and a large pope hat-like crown.

EMIM

This is the city of Hebron, home of the

Nefilim. Why do you claim what is ours to be

yours?

ALDANA

It IS ours!

(Anker restrains her)

EMIM

Pretentious little creatures...I would advise

that you leave this place.

ANKER

Who are you?

EMIM

My name is EMIM. I keep the world of the

Nefilim safe. And you are trespassers. Leave

this planet at once, we will not be swept

from our own home by greedy children.

7

(he turns to one of the Nefilim

standing next to him and mumbles an

unintelligible order)

I would suggest that you do not return, or

else we will have to take matters into our

own hands...

ALDANA

I would SUGGUEST you to give it back!

ANKER

(picking up ALDANA)

We will be going.

Anker carries Aldana back to the Legend while the crew

displaying obvious expressions of anger. The scientist

sprints ahead of everyone and then suddenly stops to

pick up samples of Hebron plants from the nearby garden.

He hurries back onto the ship as the loading ramp to

the Legend retracts. The legend takes off and returns

to the Hero.

6 INT. HERO WAGNER’S OFFICE – DAY (SPACE) 6

Wagner is sitting in office alone. His office is

cluttered with papers all over his desk and walls. His

entire back wall is a window that looks out into space.

Earth can be seen in the distance. Wagner is twiddling

his thumbs waiting. Anker enters the room.

ANKER

You wanted to see me?

WAGNER

That’s right. I want to hear about this

Hebron from you. There is too much at risk to

lose the Earth for good.

ANKER

(underneath his breath)

Sure there is…

WAGNER

Did you say something?

ANKER

(shakes his head with walking to the

8

other side of the room)

Nothing. I don’t know what the big deal is. I

just-

WAGNER

Do you not care? This place was the home to

all before us. It’s something-

ANKER

(voice is escalating louder)

It’s something that doesn’t belong to us

anymore.

(joking)

What is that old saying, “move your feet lose

your seat”?

Wagner stands up, but before he can respond, the door

explodes open. Chester Bloodgood, the spearhead of the

human race, enters the room with multiple files in hand.

BLOODGOOD

(slams the files onto Wagner’s desk)

I have news. It’s not good.

WAGNER

What did they find?

BLOODGOOD

(looks up with slight despair)

The planet has actually gotten worse at an

increasing rate. We hypothesize that the

Alien race on the surface could be the cause

WAGNER

Fucking bastards!

(shoots a concerned look towards

Anker)

So not only did they take our planet, they

turned it to shit too!

BLOODGOOD

(looks back and forth between both

of them)

So what do we do?

WAGNER

(sighs and rubs his eyes)

9

… we take it back

Both Bloodgood and Anker look up at him as Wagner

stands up with renewed vigor.

WAGNER

The planet is ours… we are going to take it

back…

(gazes around the room walking to

stand next to Anker to look at the

Earth)

…One way or another.

(Pounds his fist)

BLOODGOOD

Can we really even do this?

WAGNER

(turning back to Bloodgood and Anker)

We’ll mobilize and wipe those thieves off the

planet.

BLOODGOOD

yeah… yeah…

Anker raises an eyebrow. Turns towards the two of the

others. Shakes head.

WAGNER

With a campaign like this one, we could get

support in no time. Maybe even mobilize

within the week!

BLOODGOOD

Yeah. I will get this passed through the

board within the hour.

WAGNER

I will start my plan of attack right now.

ANKER

This fight was lost when we left the first

time! I don’t understand how you think we can

just go back at anytime! You people make me

sick!!

Anker storms out the door. Wagner and Bloodgood look at

10

one another with slight concern. They continue their

frantic planning as the doors slams.

7 INT. ALDANA'S LIVING SPACE – NIGHT (SPACE) 7

Aldana is shown carefully reviewing old pictures, presumably

of her ancestors, living happily on earth. She has tears in

her eyes, but is silent. Anker walks into the room; he

ignores her at first, but then turns around and stands in

front of her. She gazes up, and he sits down next to her,

and she puts the pictures away before he can see them.

ANKER Aldana, listen to me, it will be ok...

ALDANA

No, Anker, it might be ok with you since you

don't care about Earth, but it won't be ok

with me!

ANKER And what am I supposed to do about it?

ALDANA Caring would be a nice start! (looks up at his eyes)

ANKER

Ok, ok then, let's say I cared, what

difference would it make?

ALDANA

It would make me proud to be your wife

ANKER

Oh so this is what it's all about, pride? You

know what pride is good for? It's good for

nothing. Thanks to his god forsaken pride,

Bloodgood is gonna blow them unsuspecting

aliens away!

ALDANA What?

ANKER

Yeah, him and Wagner are planning something,

soon.

11

ALDANA Well then I better go get my gear ready!

(she begins to walk away, Anker

grabs her by the arm)

ANKER

Wait a minute! Why don't you calm down for a

second and take a look at yourself, this is

wrong!

They stare at each other for a few seconds, they are

both breathing heavily. Anker continues to hang on to

her arm.

ALDANA Let go of me. I will fight for our planet,

regardless of what you have to say about it... (she jerks her arm free

from Anker's grip)

Aldana walks to her equipment, as Anker storms off.

8 INT. LEGEND – DUSK 8

Anker is shown inside the legend. He appears

emotionless, strapped in his seat as the ship passes

through the earth's atmosphere. Aldana is flying the

ship, along with the first officer, aided by two

tactical support crew.

TACTICAL SUPPORT 1

Listen up everybody: we're gonna take a look

at their defenses, survey their military base

and then we're out of here. No playing around,

in and out, understood?

ALL (except Anker) Yes sir!

The ship continues moving closer to earth. All of a

sudden, a projectile impacts the ship violently.

ALDANA (screams loudly) We've been hit!

12

Various ship alarms begin to sound.

FIRST OFFICER

We're losing altitude, fast!

ALDANA Deploy emergency landing system...

FIRST OFFICER

ELS unusable, what do we do?? (silence)

The ship impacts the earth violently.

9 INT. LEGEND – DUSK 9

Anker appears somewhat injured, with minor cuts across

his face. The Legend is wrecked, partly on fire. There

are motionless bodies of the tactical support members

and some of the crew scattered around the ship. A

gaping hole on the side of the ship reveals darkening

orange skies. Anker makes his way through the ruble, to

find Aldana severely injured, a few feet away from her

flight station. She is motionless.

ANKER Aldana!

(shakes her) Aldana wake up!

ALDANA (wakes up, faint and weak, mumbles)

I'm...

ANKER Aldana, can you hear me?

ALDANA

I'm sorry

ANKER I need to get you some medical help!

ALDANA It's no use

(motions to a deep wound in her

13

stomach, while blood quickly pours

out of it)

ANKER No! Aldana, you can't, this, can't... (sobs)

ALDANA

I'm sorry, it's... it's my fault

ANKER Don't say that!

ALDANA

But if it wasn't for... (interrupted)

ANKER

It's my fault, ok? You don't deserve this, you

were just fighting for your planet, I was the

one who didn't care, I was the one that let

this happen. I'm sorry!! I'm, so sorry.

ALDANA I love you Anker

ANKER

I love you too Aldana

They kiss softly. Then as Anker holds her head,

Aldana's eyes become motionless, as she dies. Then

Anker lays his head by her side, his eyes glazed with a

distant stare. After a few moments he gets up and

searches the ship for a radio. Most of them are trashed,

but he finds a functional one, and establishes contact

with Wagner, who is in the Hero.

ANKER Hero, this is Anker, can you hear me? (fuzzy static)

(changes channel) Hero, this is Anker transmitting from earth,

do you copy?

WAGNER

Wagner here, I copy (very fuzzy)

14

ANKER We've been hit, it's all gone

WAGNER Copy, are the others ok?

ANKER

There are no others...

(silence and static) Drop a PD on these bastards.

WAGNER Anker, I'm sorry, this wasn't meant...

(interrupted)

ANKER

No time for this, drop a Planet Destroyer, I

will distract them.

WAGNER

Understood. Anker, it has been an honor

working with you.

ANKER Yes sir!

(puts down the radio with shaky

hands)

10 INT. HERO, COMMANDING ROOM – DUSK (space) 10

Wagner is shown sitting down in front of screens

directing a highly advanced state of the art command

center. Several subordinates work around him at a fast

pace. He is silent, appears distressed but determined.

11 EXT. DISTROYED EARTH STREET – DUSK 11

Anker, carrying multiple weapons and armament, makes his way

towards Hebron, which appears relatively distant. On his way

he encounters some Nephilim, which he destroys.

12 EXT. HEBRON – DUSK/DARK 12

Anker is shown charging through the inner city, heroically

destroying every Nephilim that he can see. His face looks

15

determined, and as he makes his way he grunts battle shouts.

He is then hit by a Nephilim bullet in the knee, falls to

the ground.

ANKER Ahhhh!!!! (looks down at his shattered knee)

(breathing hard) Those mother fuckers!

13 INT. HERO, COMMANDING ROOM – DUSK/DARK (space) 13

Wagner is shown, with glazed eyes. He presses the button to

release the planet the destroyer.

WAGNER (mumbles to himself)

We will miss you Captain...

14 EXT. HEBRON – DUSK/DARK 14

As he is laying in the ground, Anker fires shots at any

Nephilim that get close to him.

ANKER This is for taking the Earth (shoots)

This is for destroying my ship (shoots, then looks up to see the Hero,

and the Planet Distroyer making its way

down to earth)

And THAT, is for Aldana!

A white flash is seen.

15 EXT. SPACE – NIGHT 15

Earth is show up close, slowly zooming out of the spot that

Hebron once was. Soon, the Hero appears floating in space.

Wagner's voice is heard from the beginning although he is

not visible.

WAGNER

(narrating)

Someone once told me that heroes are remembered,

but legends never die. I hope one day the Human

16

race can look back on what we did that day and

remember the sacrifice that was made that day.

16 EXT. SPACE COLONY ELITE BURIAL CEREMONY – DUSK 16

Captain Wagner is shown standing in a pedestal while giving

his speech. There are about fifty people surrounding him,

all wearing military uniforms, with hats off in their hands.

Some people are crying; most are motionless. In the center

there are symbolical crosses, one tallest with the name “Cpt.

Anker Nikla” engraved on it.

WAGNER (continuous from scene 15)

Captain Anker Nikla, Aldana, and the crew of the

Legend gave their life to revenge an evil species

that seized and distroyed the planet we once

called Earth. But with this sacrifice we are

encouraged to live our lives to the fullest, and

never take ANYTHING for granted. May they rest in

peace, and be remembered as the founders of this a

new era; an era of hope. May these legends never

die within our hearts.

Costume

Design

Reyn Started off with this simple design (left). We liked it a lot from the beginning but thought he looked like a little punk more than a Captain in charge of Humanity.

This is the final version of Captain Anker.

He now looks much more mature. The

change in posture is essential, although he

is somewhat of a rebel character so the

initial pose would work too in some cases.

But the hair is much more under control,

and he looks like he knows what he’s

doing. One barrier we had some trouble

with is getting a masculine character. He

still looks a bit feminine; Reyn says that’s

his weakness. We forgive him!

Aldana is the beauty of the cast, and

Reyn did a terrific job of representing

her. She looks like she’s ready to

fight, which will end up killing her.

The Nefilim design was challenging since we

had no idea what these characters would

really look like. But in the end we (and by

that I mean Reyn, our official Costume

designer) came up with a very passive

looking character that suits the role.

They may be passive, but not afraid to take

action.

Kristina thought this color

scheme would suit the character

well. The yellow hair and purple skin

really makes them look unique. And

they dress in the colors that

surround them, lots of brown and

the green that they are slowly

deleting from earth.
