#⁎ SCREEN TEST⁰³◞ : “STARTER CALL” [★] @morally as RILEY BISHOP &. @backlotvideo as ALAN WAKE.
DISSOLVE TO:
ALAN GRIPS HIS COFFEE CUP—CHEAP AND DISPOSABLE, MADE OF STYROFOAM—AND STARES DOWN AT THE GROUNDS SWIRLING INSIDE. ACROSS THE TABLE, DETECTIVE BISHOP STARES AT THE RING ON HIS LEFT HAND.
“ maybe i am crazy. ” the margin bell of a manual typewriter rings in his ears like tinnitus. endlessly, its carriage returns. AN INKED RIBBON; A MANUSCRIPT PAGE; A MÖBIUS STRIP THAT’S FOLDING IN ON ITSELF. déjà vu is a cruel trick—his memories are just out of reach, shrouded in darkness. alan shakes his head, “ but that’s fine. ”
#⁎ SCREEN TEST⁰²◞ : “STARTER CALL” [★] @crimenalist as CALLEIGH DUQUESNE &. @backlotvideo as JASON DESSEN.
DISSOLVE TO:
JASON AND CALLEIGH SIT AT A TABLE IN A MOSTLY EMPTY LIBRARY. IT’S LATE, BUT NEITHER OF THEM MIND THE CLOCKS, DEEP IN THEIR WORK. JASON IN PARTICULAR LOOKS LOST IN THOUGHT. STARING AT HIS NOTEBOOK, NOT WRITING.
“ i can't help thinking ... we’re more than the sum total of our choices, ” he clicks his pen, twice, dithering between reality and the crackpot theories he scribbles in the margins, “ that all the paths we might have taken factor somehow into the math of our identity. ”
#⁎ SCREEN TEST⁰¹◞ : “STARTER CALL” [★] @miswaken as ALICE WAKE &. @backlotvideo as DAN TORRANCE.
CUT TO:
ALICE’S APARTMENT IS IN DISREPAIR. A MESS OF LIGHT FIXTURES AND PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT. AT THE EPICENTER, SHE STANDS WITH DAN. SLOWLY, BUT WITH EASE, HE IS TAKING IT ALL IN.
“ sometimes... you have to know. ” morbid curiosity is an addiction in its own right. five years old, face - to - mask, peeking between his fingers. that same itch—RADIO STATIC BUZZING—crawled up his neck the moment he set foot over the apartment’s threshold. “ ... sometimes you have to see. ”
