Christopher Nolan's next project: Rainbow Brite Begins

The following is a script from a trailer for the forthcoming Christopher Nolan film, Rainbow Brite Begins.  (Many Bothans died to bring us this information.)


INT.  PRISON CELL.  DAY

Two GUARDS throw WHISP (soon to be RAINBOW BRITE) into the cell.  We see the outline of a figure standing in the corner.  This figure is MURKY, played by Lliam Neeson.

MURKY
Is this how one of Earth's orphan girls spends her time?

WHISP
How do you know who I am?  Who are you?

MURKY
My name is Murky.  But I represent.. the King of Shadows.

WHISP
Huh.  A Vigilante.

MURKY
No, no.  A vigilante is someone who is out for revenge.  He can be destroyed.  But if you could make yourself a symbol, you could become something greater.

WHISP
What?

MURKY
A legend, Ms. Whisp.  Take this box of Crayola Crayons to the top of the mountain.  There, we will train you.

EXT.  MOUNTAIN.  LATER

Whisp trudges up the mountain.

INT.  NINJA COMPOUND.  LATER

Montage scenes of Whisp training.  Whisp has trouble choosing between a red and a blue crayon.

MURKY (V.O.)
You know how to color with ten colors, we can teach you to color with ten thousand colors...

Murky shows her a purple crayon.  She nods in understanding.

EXT.  LAKE.  LATER

Whisp and Murky are sword fighting with those giant novelty crayons.

MURKY
Always learn to mind your surroundings...

He trips her up with the crayon and draws a frowney face on her forehead.

EXT. STREET.  LATER

TWINK (played by Michael Caine) opens the door of a limo for Wisp as she approaches.

TWINK
Ms. Whisp... welcome back.

INT.  LIMO.  MOMENTS LATER

Twink sits with Whisp.

WHISP
I need to make myself into a symbol.  Show the people of the colorless world that there is still justice.

INT.  R & D LAB.  LATER

ROMEO (played by Morgan Freeman) shows Whisp a prototype color belt.

ROMEO
This is a Kevlar Color Belt, with forty-two thousand pixels.  

WHISP
(pointing to something behind him)
What's that?

Pan to reveal Starlight, a horse w/ wings.

ROMEO
Starlight?  A yes.  He is a horse that was originally designed for rampless jumps.

EXT.  CITY.  LATER

We see Wisp as Rainbow Brite riding the horse through the city.

INT.  WEARHOUSE.  LATER

A bunch of Thugs, led by LURKY, are startled by a sound.

LURKY
She's here...

THUG 1
Who?

LURKY
The RAINBOW Brite...

A rope pulls Lurky to the rafters.

Wisp, now RAINBOW BRITE, is holding onto the other end of the rope, grabs Lurky by the hair.

BRITE
(low gravely voice)
Where are the color kids?!

LURKY
I don't know!  I swear to God!

BRITE
Swear to me!

She uses magic markers to color all over Lurky's face.

EXT.  ROOF.  LATER

Rainbow Brite is about to jump off the roof.  the MALE LOVE INTEREST stops her.

MALE LOVE INTEREST
Wait!  You could die!  At least tell me who you are!

RAINBOW BRITE
(low gravely voice)
It's not who I am underneath, but what I doodle that defines me.

MALE LOVE INTEREST
...Wisp?!

Rainbow Brite jumps off, landing on Starlight.

They swoop toward the camera.

RAINBOW BRITE BEGINS
