Adam Jackman, Dead Writer

Screenwriter Adam Jackman was the first to die in the trailer shoot for Knife to a Gun Fight. To achieve MAN #1's look as a middle-aged middle manager, Jackman was painted with blood and bruises, drenched in faux sweat, dressed in layer upon layer of clothing and outfitted with a toupee.

"After seven takes of running down that narrow storage unit hallway chased by the camera crew, the girl applying the faux sweat looked at me, said, 'oh, uh, you're good,' and went to her cart for paper towels. I'm writing family films from now on, where people stand around talking and being nice to each other."

SCRIPT

Knife to a Gun Fight
by
Adam Jackman

INT. STORAGE UNIT HALLWAY - NIGHT
The roll-up doors of storage units line either side of a long, darkened hallway. At the end of the hall, an exit door.

A beat. MAN #1, 42 and terrified, TEARS in from an adjoining hallway and turns down the hall. His nose is broken, blood covers his face and shirt. Wrong way.

MAN #1
No! No, no, no, no...

He quickly turns around, toward the exit and POUNDS down the hallway, BANGING off the walls, pushing off, anything to speed him up and get the hell out of there. He grips the handle and BANGS his way out the exit door.

EXT. STORAGE UNIT EXIT - NIGHT, CONTINUOUS
Man #1 BURSTS out the door and looks around. Open space in all directions. His gaze stops back at the Exit door. He decides, moves to the side of the door. Ambush. He's BREATHING HARD, waiting for the door to open. THE KILLER swings silently down from above him, hanging upside down from the roof, SNAPS his neck with a quick twist. Man #1 COLLAPSES, dead. The Killer swings down, lands on the street in front of the body.
