hello since last night i've been thinking about how good watt would be as a netflix miniseries n then i remembered you made that edit so i wondered if you had any thoughts on how that would go 👀
okay i have Some already made thoughts and rambling just came up with thoughts
i would want it to start with the summer of the accident that made this all happen where we see everyone doing their thing:
idk if the accident happened at a game or competiton but im setting it at a football game so it can be tigers vs titans and we get to see eva
clark in the football game
some visual context about chess’ olympic past u know like some schools have clippings of student accomplishments on a board or like trophy cases or something
obviously the bad stunt happening
reese as mascot, possibly doing what she did in the show with the if chess needs a minute i can join but get rejecte
captain kimberly sexting the whole time x
i would want more indepth familial storys about some of them like annleigh/farrah before the sleepover (like we see annleigh getting dressed that could b a longer convo about how her parents expect her to take care of farrah etc) but like with all of them
i feel like it could be similar to the carrie tv movie (which is fitting considering its an insp for the show) where it intercuts with police interviews and the whole show is basically them re-living what happened that night for their statements
possible general overview w music (although could even b without):
ep 1 = flashback to the stunt and worst team ever (ends at the end of the song)
ep 2 = “does anyone have an update on annleigh/farrah” *straight cut to them arguing in the car outside, annleigh trying to take the bottle, whilst clark tries to stop them and then it cuts straight back to a silent team* “.........theres no service?”. dont even occurs. i feel like ending when kate and chess leave would be a solid place to end?
ep 3 = skype tomorrow,, i feel like possibly seeing flashbacks of their relationship could be here bc its not a very visual song?? sounds kinda cheesy tho. btb also happens here and the ep ends w chess dying
ep 4 = forever to farrahs death would probs b this ep but that feels like a squeeze bc its 3 songs so we might have to cut it at mattie being sick after captain of the team?
ep 5 = wallflower and defense
ep 6 = matties lament,, mayb over a montage of her being put into prison and possibly what everyone else is like at school like cairo not getting replies from riley and her watching motivational speeches n stuff jkdfkjfd (i feel like the shut tf u joke kinda wouldnt work as well idk?? i would possibly interupt it with a police interviewer confirming that mattie didnt think she was guilty but that makes it more serious idk it could still work),, phoenix also happens, ep ends at kate leaving?
ep 7 = move on to wallflower reprise mayb? once again 3 songs so may be tight but theres not a great place to cut
ep 8 = idk and the breakdown defo possibly could go straight the end? would like to bulk out the last scene a bit with actual apologies to reese and may some grave visiting and kateva and possibly cario visiting riley in prison and also the whole police statement thing would need to be wrapped up ?? (idk why but id kinda like riley to be portrayed more sympathetic instead of “psycho killer” like she had a mental break due to the stresses of needing to be perfect n i feel like that gets overlooked sometimes)
i feel like it could be stretched to 10 eps if it was cut well
i also think there could be some well done foreshadowing but i dont know how i would impliment it atm kfdfkj but the actual show does it well anyway in the script,, possibly add some visual foreshadowing for the tv show
im not sure if i have any other thoughts at this time but feel free to share some thoughts !!
