Screenplays of '12. Page 12. "Zero Dark Thirty"
Friday, December 21, 2012 at 12:12PM New daily! I'll be sharing page 12 of every screenplay I've received for 2012 Films. With commentary!
The following scene stars Jason Clarke as "bad news" Daniel who has surprisingly not been getting much Supporting Actor buzz despite shooting off unmissable 'next big thing' vibes and Reda Kateb* as his tortured prisoner Ammar. I've drawn a little storyboard for you since the studio hasn't released any stills from this particular scene.
INT. MAYA'S APARTMENT - ISLAMABAD
The loud WAILING of the early morning call to prayer from the loudspeakers of a nearby mosque wakes Maya on the couch.
CUT TO:
INT. BLACK SITE - AFTERNOON
Daniel and the guards enter Ammar's cel with Maya. Daniel switches on the floodlights, awakening Ammar.
DANIEL
Let's take it easy today, huh?
Daniel hands Ammar a bottle of orange juice and a bag of falalfel.
DANIEL (CONT'D)
Hungry? The food in here sucks so I
got you some of this.
