Welcome to The Crow:IV Project








This is where my Crow:Highway to Hell script will go when it's finished !

Click here to download the first four pages of the comicbook adaption Highway to Hell. Keep in mind this is only a rough draft.


James O'Bar's
The Crow:Highway to Hell

This is a fan written script only. This is not an offficial The Crow screenplay ! The content below is soley based on my own ideas for a movie based on James O Barr's comic book (The Crow).
The Crow, it's concepts, characters, etc... are trademark of their respective property owners.

ABOUT THE FORMAT:

It doesn't matter if the HTML is written in an editor,or by hand as in this sites case. HTML refuses to format all the tabs and positions that can be be seen in an actual screenplay.
As a result, the format of this script is not quite a proper format for a script.

1.


EXT. HONG KONG HARBOR - NIGHT

A heron flies above a foggy harbor, passing by a few cargo ships which await a delivery.
The faint rippling of water quickly becomes over
powered by the dinging of bells,foghorns, and talking people.

EXT. HONG KONG HARBOR - LOADING DOCKS - OPEN TITLES

Two young men each lift a side of a large shipping
crate marked with chinese characters which read
"Handle with care !".

They carry the crate up the ramp leading to the ship
. Half way up the ramp, the two drop the crate.

...............(Chinese, subtitled)
Sorry MR.Li, our apologies.

JIN LI
..............(Chinese, subtitled)
You have better not allow it to happen again.
Our American friends would be displeased to
hear that you have damaged their goods.

Their actions are interupted by a loud clap of thunder.
Jin, holds his hand out as water dropplets begin to fall
on his palm, he looks up into the night sky.

From his prospective we see ...

EXT. CEMETERY - NIGHT
From a worm's view looking up into they night sky,
freezing rain falls down to the ground below.
We see the silhouette of a perched crow large in the
f.g. It sits quietly on top of a statue of an angel.
Suddenly the crow takes off, flying into the night sky.

ANGLE ON - THE CROW - OPEN TITLES (CON'T)

We follow the crow as it flies up toward the sky.
It passes the famous BROOKLYN BRIDGE then soon after
we see the STATUE OF LIBERTY and continues on its
journey through the city.

(CONTINUED)

3. CONTINUED:

ANGLE ON - THE CROW - OPEN TITLES (CON'T)

As it passes through the city it is very clear that
we are in NEW YORK city. We continue to follow the
birds flight through New York, we now see many
skyscrapers and small buildings until we come to ...

EXT. NIGHTCLUB - LATE NIGHT
The crow lands on top of a bright MULBERRY colord neon
sign, with words that spell "CLUB RAVEN". The words are
surrounded by a silhouetted black light, shaped in the
form of a raven .

Down below ...

On a cold winter night like this you wouldn't expect to
see the hundreds of people that are flocking the streets
surrounding this night club.

Especially on CHRISTMAS EVE of all nights.
None the less, the long line of people awaiting to
have a chance to get into this exclusive club is
overwhelming. The line melds within the velvet ropes
curving around the building, pouring into the alley
in the back of the club.

The club goers are dressed in range from dark GOTHIC
clothing, others in average street clothes, most are
dressed in formal wear.

EXT. CLUB RAVEN / INT. CLUB RAVEN (CONTINOUS)

We move casually from the back of the line to the front
through the eyes of a on-looker just outside the velvet
ropes.
Through this person's eyes and ears we gather a brief glimpse of
the conversations of theese club goers.

We First see a sleezy man dressed in a metalic silk shirt, trying to impress an attractive bloned headed woman next to him.

MAN
So anyway, she said 69?, you mean you want broccoli
with your meat and potatoes?

MAN'S DATE
Ha Ha Ha that's a good one Chip, Your such as stud when
it comes to telling jokes.

Continuing to move up the line, we come to a group of four teen kids.
The two male teens, BRAD and TJ attempt to act like college students
in order to "hook it up" with the two women, LIZ and JENNY. TJ. pulls out four
small plastic cards, and hands one to each of the girls and Brad.

BRAD
Your going to get us in big trouble TJ.

TJ
Shut up man you'll be the one getting us in trouble
if you don't be quiet.

JENNY
Brad don't take this the wrong way, I think your right and
but I want to get inside no matter what happens.

LIZ

TJ. is right, It'll work just trust him.

BRAD
I don't like this. What if we get caught?
According to mine, my name is Jyrome Jinkins.
A six foot six inch tall African American thirty two years of age. I'm a short fat white guy.
I'M telling you it's not going to work.

TJ
Shoosh. Just be quiet and act cool, no one'll know the difference

Eventually we move toward the front of the line, the rather large and muscle bound
bouncer allows a few people to enter the building, after checking their id cards.

We focus on a set of three people just a few feet behind in line ,just as it begins to lightly snow.
