    MAX PAYNE by Beau Michael Thorne Fourth Draft 08/24/2007 OVER BLACK: MAX’S VOICE I don’t believe in heaven, but I have this idea about it. Something I heard in a song. FADE IN: White. A pristine, empty frame. Clean and peaceful. MAX’S VOICE Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens. There’s gentle motion in the blank frame, like swirling 16mm grain. A RUMBLE starts to build, low but growing louder... The grain moves faster, big chunks fluttering, now a dirty dishwater grey. The RUMBLE becoming a HOWLING WIND. Churning black water LAPS at the bottom of the frame... EXT. HUDSON RIVER - DAWN A blizzard, at the peak of its power. Visibility zero, New York reduced to the hulking shapes of buildings on the banks. MAX PAYNE thrashes in the water, a long way from shore. MAX’S VOICE There’s an army of bodies under this river. Criminals, people who ran out of time, out of friends. Chunks of ice float in the dirty water around him. Max’s body freezing, skin turning blue. Heavy winter clothes saturating, like an anchor dragging him down... MAX’S VOICE The next time they drag this river, they’ll find me on the bottom with the rest of them. And there won’t be anybody left to say I was different. Max’s face sinks below the surface... CUT TO: 2. INT. HALLWAY - DAY Nothing to orient us to the location, the time. Just a flash of golden light filling the hall, warm as the river was cold.
