Script for The Rogues trailer

1. The Rogues
written by
Nathan Rawlings

2. Int.Police station
Figure sitting in a police interrogation room.
He appears very anxious as he taps his hands on
the desk and the clock ticks. His nerves build
up until the interviewer presses the record
button. There is a brief moment of silence. The
figure stops what he is doing. We discover that
he is being recorded.
Will
It started with a car
(Music begins- Yanez Films presents)
Ext. Car Park
We see three criminals rushing towards a car
that is transporting illegal products. One of
the three is holding a baseball bat. The man
sitting within the car spots the three as he
looks over his shoulder but he is too late. The
three drag him out of the car an hit him with
the baseball bat. They drive off, leaving the
man injured on the floor. We see the group
leaving in the car from another angle but we
see that Will has been taking photos of the
act. We see him pull a polaroid out of the
camera.
Int. Police Station
The Interrogator slides forward the polaroids
that had previously been taken. We hang on the

3. images for a moment before cutting away. We see
Will’s eyes as he looks up at the interrogator.
Will
The car was full of more drugs and money than
they knew what to do with. And they sold it
all.
EXT. Street
We see the three with their masks removed as
they open the boot of the car. The expression
on their face indicates that they had just
found something extraordinary.
EXT. Bus Stop
We see one of the criminals as they are walking
down the street. They appear very shady as they
look over their shoulders in order to ensure
that no one is looking. We see that some one
has stashed a bag of money on the roof of the
bus stop and the character switches the bag of
money for a bag of drugs. He stashes the money
in his pockets and continues to walk away.
Will
Well, they didn't know it then.(Brief pause)
But they were about to learn what happens when
you steal from the wrong person.

4. Int. House
The three boys are playing poker as they
celebrate their recent earnings. We see the
lock on the front door being picked as this
takes place. During this we continuously cut
between the boys playing poker and shuffling
cards. The door is pushed open gently to reveal
three men standing in the foot of the door. We
see the boys as they continue to play poker but
quickly look up as they discover three masked
men standing with weapons and a bag. The person
in the centre throws a bag over the boys heads.
Cuts to black.
Int. Hall
George has a bag taken off of his head
revealing that his face has been bruised. He
attempts to move but he is tied up. He is
squinting from the brightness but as he regains
his vision he notices his two friends have been
beaten and remain unconscious. He then realises
the gravity of his situation.
George
Bollocks
We see a series of action shots of the three
being punched. They are hit with bats, punched
and guns are aimed at their heads. (In rhythm
with each beat of music). We then see a shot of

5. the three boys walking in unison one of them
will be holding the duffel bag of weapons.
Will
The deal was simple. They either payed back the
debt or would die in the process.
Int. House
We see one of the boys on his knees placing
guns into a duffel bag in preparation for a
heist.
Ext.Street
We see Will looking at the boys as they get
into the car holding the duffel bag. One of the
boys stops and looks directly at Will. Will
lowers his camera in panic as he is spotted.
Int. Hall
We see Will as he regains consciousness after
being captured. As he opens his eyes we see he
has a bloody nose and his mouth duct taped. We
slowly realize that will is the only one who is
tied up and a fight has broken out between the
henchmen and the boys. The tension builds as we
see someone about to pull the trigger on the
gun that is pressed to one of the boy’s head.
Cut to black.

6. (Music build up)
Action shots follow. One of the boys can be
seen running from the henchmen. We can see one
of the boys’ hands shaking as they are covered
with blood. We see exterior of a car as it
drives. He takes a step back as we see him back
away from the body. We can see someone pulling
the slide back on a gun. A scene where one of
the henchmen hold jumper cables and we see the
lights flicker as the electricity surges. Will
can be seen holding a gun up to one of the boys
heads as he holds him as a shield. Will backs
away, panicked as the other members and
henchmen approach him, stepping into frame one
by one.
Int. Police Station
We see will sitting there recalling the story
and shifting the polaroids on the desk.
Will
you couldn't trust anyone…
Before cutting we get our best look at Will
with his arm bandaged and bruises on his face.
We see one of the boys in the background as a
mysterious figure pulls the hammer back on his
gun as the other person turns around.
Will
It was fucked
