Author’s Comment #18

I think it would be nice to write “teaser trailers” for the things I do as a hobby. So I wrote a few of them, since this is not something that takes too long. I skipped one for my version of Star Wars Episode VIII because I don’t think a teaser is necessary for that. Just read it directly; it would be better for that one (which obviously isn’t the real one, it’s just how I imagined the movie could be). For the others, I do think that “teaser trailers” fit very well because their stories haven’t been done yet, so I am going to post the “epic word-based trailers” here.

For those of you that haven’t watched the Matrix Trilogy, or if you watched it 10 years ago like I did and forgot about it, I highly recommend renting and watching the three movies again. They are The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions. From Youtube, it’s like 4 bucks only to watch each one. At the very least, re-watch the ending for The Matrix Revolutions… You will see the reason for that recommendation among these “trailers” here :p And yes, that full movie is going to be my next short story for this blog. And I will post it finished. With that movie, I do for the Matrix what “The Story of the Earth Sage of The Leaf” does for the Naruto series…

I figured out how to do a great and final Matrix film bringing back the older original actors (like what they did with Star Wars 7, but better because Neo is still the protagonist here). I thought that if Keanu Reeves is doing John Wick movies now, then I’m sure that he can do this as I imagined it. He can still be the older Neo. The other two also look and fit perfectly for what I imagined. Carrie-Ann Moss can be “the other Trinity,” or the armored woman at the beginning, which is an important character. And Mr. “bad guy” Hugo Weaving can be Rodner Smith, the real architect of the Matrix from the real world. It all fits to do it for real, but I will be satisfied with just publishing it here.

 

OVERVIEW FOR “The Story of the Earth Sage of The Leaf”

(1st full-length show / 1st ‘book series’)

 

The earth-style ninja Pedro Namikaze chooses to leave his war-thirsty clan to join The Leaf, without knowing that his choice will change The Leaf, his world, the past, and the future forever… Read the epic story of the hero from The Leaf who was not one of its well-known Hokages, but who was a deep influence and a central character behind the whole saga… Learn about what happened in the past (a prequel) and see what will happen in the future (a sequel, after Boruto The Movie)… Find out who is the true villain of the whole Naruto series… Experience an all-new show that extends the Naruto universe on one hand and is a great standalone story on the other. Previous plot holes will be answered, new villains and heroes will be revealed, the other realms (the worlds of the summoned creatures) will be visited, and the ancient past of Naruto’s Human Realm will be uncovered in “The Story of the Earth Sage of The Leaf”…

TEASER TRAILER FOR “The Matrix Revelations”

(short story 3 / movie script #3)

 

The Matrix meets Inception… and more…

(^ this falls on screen and low-volume epic music starts playing)

 

Narrator’s voice: “We thought that we already knew the secrets of the Matrix, but they had not been revealed to us yet… Are you ready to find out the truth? You can always stay with what you know and believe that ‘The Matrix Revolutions’ was where it ended. Or… if you want to know the truth, you can see ‘The Matrix Revelations.’ The choice is yours. Just remember that ‘Revelations’ is the true red pill. The previous one was the virtual one. You were still in the Matrix after that…”

 

(The screen changes and shows a human woman with a thin machine-like armor, which covers most of her body and her face—so you can’t see who she really is yet. A team of armored soldiers surrounds her and in the center we see a familiar face. It’s Neo (Keanu Reeves), but he looks 20 years older…)

 

Woman with Trinity’s voice: “After you see the truth, you will know it forever, but, you must pick your truth first. What do you believe? Are Zion and these dark fields of the machines the real world, or are they part of the Matrix too? If you pick the yellow pill you believe this is the real world and you stay in it. You may even return to Zion, as a savior, and forget about us. If you pick the red pill you believe that this is still the Matrix. Choose wisely, because this decision cannot be restored to a prior state, like a computer, or like the Matrix itself. There is no way to take this back after it’s done… Choose your path Neo.”

 

Older Neo: “My path is still the same. It hasn’t changed. I still need to know the truth… all of it.”

 

Neo picks the red pill again and swallows it with the water that one of the armored soldiers hands him in a small bottle.

 

Older Neo: “I knew it since I began to see the yellow rivers that resembled the green currents of code from the Matrix. I knew that this was the upper layer in the simulation…”

 

Woman with Trinity’s voice: “It’s time for you to see the real world… Only one person has ever been freed before you…”

Short Story #2: Jack Sparrow causes a Ruckus (action-comedy)

(Full Story: “Jack Sparrow and the Cursed Crown”)
ACT I: Sparrow causes a Ruckus (by disagreeing with his pirate friends at the tavern)

Genre: Action-Comedy
Characters:
Captain Jack Sparrow
Lady Amy
Big-Beard, the owner and barman at Big-Beard Tavern, and the leader of the pirates there
Munco, the super tall and serious pirate
Don, the treacherous drunkard
Long-mustache Tim
Johnny, the fat pirate of the shotgun

 

Jack Sparrow causes a [funny] ruckus at the Big-Beard Tavern:

 

Jack Sparrow finishes talking with lady Amy and gets a date with her for the next day in the afternoon. Amy looks interested in Captain Jack and she believes all his heroic tales—half of which he exaggerated to the max…

After that, Jack walks happily into the familiar Big-Beard Tavern from the town. There he sees his pirate acquaintances Big-Beard the boss, Don the drunkard, long-mustache Tim, Munco the tall and serious, and Johnny, the fat guy that likes guns. They were armed with swords and drinking beer. Jack placed a coin on the table and grabbed some wine, but before he could take a sip they called him:

Everyone: “Sparrow, come here! A shady liar like you is what we needed right now. We are planning a kidnapping and the sum of money for each of us is huge. You are in pal.”

Jack: “Hey, slow down mates. I’m just here for my wine. Wait… someone said hu-u-uge sum… Who are you going to kidnap?!”

Everyone: “The daughter of the duchess that became a widow and inherited a fortune in gold. She is known around here as lady Amy. We need you to fool her with all your usual crap. Then bring her to us.”

Jack was taking a sip of his drink and he couldn’t hold it in his mouth when he heard that. He sprayed all of them with red wine—directly from inside his mouth.

Jack [anxious]: “Nooo!! I already did… I mean I already… I mean I’m busy tomorrow fellas-s!”

Big-Beard unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Sparrow:

Big-Beard: “No one refuses my proposal and spits wine on my face at the same time!!”

The other pirates do the same thing: they unsheathe their swords.

Jack [looking at Big-Beard]: “Big bird, I mean Big-Beard, I see that you and your crew are somewhat mistaken. You see, you and I shouldn’t kidnap young ladies for big sums.”

Munco breaks Sparrow’s glass of wine with his sword.

Jack [lifts eyebrows]: “Thatt’s-ss a little violent. Don’t you think mate?”

Munco [serious]: “No.”

Don, Tim, and Johnny point their swords at Jack.

Jack grabs two bottles from the table and breaks them on Johnny’s head and Munco’s face. Then, he easily takes Don’s sword away, since he knows Don is always too drunk to even hold a sword right. Tim attacks and Sparrow cuts one side of Tim’s long mustache—making him look ridiculous—and jumps on the bar’s largest table. There he has a short duel with Big-Beard and Tim and breaks half of the things in the place. Finally, Johnny takes out the shotgun.

Jack: “I am Captain Jack Sparrow, but that is a double-barrelled shotgun. Goodbye mates!”

Sparrow gets out running from the tavern and the others chase him with swords.

Just outside of the tavern is lady Amy! What a coincidence, huh?

Sparrow grabs a shield from the ones outside the tavern and gives it to Amy.

Jack [in a hurry]: “My damsel, come with me and make sure that you cover us from the gunshots!”

Jack gives the shield to Amy and they run. Jack goes in front, of course. The pirates chase them all the way to the harbor, which is close to the tavern. There Jack and Amy get into Jack’s little vessel. Jack pushes the mini-ship and they start to leave the harbor and the pirates behind.

Jack [yelling victoriously]: “You forgot one important thing my friends, I am Captain Jack Sparrow, THE Jack Sparrow. You will need more than swords and a shotgun to deal with me!”

Amy [terrified]: “JACK!!!”

Jack [very calm]: “Yes my lady? What’s the matter?”

Amy [angry]: “Cancel our date!!”

Jack: “Huh? Is Captain Jack Sparrow too much action for you my dear?”

Amy points at the pirates and then throws the shield to the water and jumps out of Jack’s little vessel. Then, Jack looks and sees Big-Beard is going to shoot a cannon at his vessel!!

Jack: “I am Captain Jack Sparrow, but that is a big cannon… Amy wait!!”

Jack jumps into the water too. Both of them escape by swimming to the nearest ship—which is about to set sail with them inside.

What other crazy adventures await for Jack and lady Amy?
Stay tunned…

Next— ACT II: The Uninvited Crew Members

(I can continue this action-comedy in the future and make it six Acts long. Basically, this could be a “funny” Jack Sparrow movie that packs more laughs and more entertainment than the others… For now, I will leave it here and focus on the rest. Since I will leave this as it is, I will tell you the names of the other possible acts since now: III-The Island of the Legendary Treasure, IV-The Crown’s Curse, V-The Pirate King, VI-End of the Curse/ The Great Escape)
