Alright, so i gathered all the ideas that i came up with for the clock tower movie, so that i can get a clear view of the whole picture:
Clock Tower Movie
Characters
PROTAGONIST
Jennifer Simpson
Played by Anne Hathaway
Description mainly taken from the Wiki
Jennifer is an orphan who grew up without parents for most of her life. She had to cope with the loss of both of her parents throughout her childhood and the lack of normal guidance that parents provide for their children, forcing her to become more independent than usual.
Generally, Jennifer is polite and open-minded. She is also kind and is seen taking time out of her schedule to visit her friends out of kindness. However, she is also somewhat sheltered, innocent, timid and naive. It is unknown if this comes naturally or if Jennifer's quietness is a result of a lack of parental attention. She has particular interest in vintage photography and paintings.
Throughout the movie, she witnesses the dark side of her friends and the harsh realities of human nature as well as how cruel the world can be. This is her loss of innocence, pretty much.
SUPPORTING CAST
Charlotte
Played by: Lacey Chabert
The tomboy of the group. Doesn't like feminine things, and is frequently mocked for it. She is the voice of reason, and survives the longest due to her street smarts and and staying close to jennifer, whom she has the most affinity with. Later reveals to jen her frustrations at not being able to be herself, and her history of being bullied and being called a butch due to her aversion towards anything feminine, which led to her beating her bully to death in a fit of blind rage and subsequently fleeing to the orphanage, thinking she is a monster.
Anna
Played by: Sophia Bush
The leader of the group. Confident, headstrong, she appears fearless and charismatic, and laura idolises her. However, her alpha female tendencies unintentionally leads to laura's death and gradually alienates Jen and Charlotte from her, which eventually leaves her all alone, forced to contemplate her true self, an insecure, narcissistic coward.
Laura
Played by: Anna Paquin
Elegant girl. Has a senpai-kouhai relationship with Anna, which the latter uses to her advantage. She tries really hard to please everyone, especially Anna. Eventually, she snaps after an ungrateful and derogatory remark from her, telling her that she never bothered to thank her for everything she had done for her and the girls, and she leaves, never to be found again...that is, until the girls find her dead, hanging in the showers.
ANTAGONISTS
Mary Barrows
Played by Nancy Allen
Appearing as a sweet, caring woman, mary adopts the girls for her and her husband, Simon. In reality, she chose them specifically because she considers them the best candidate for her ideal daughter. That is because of her miscarriage following an altercation with his husband, which drove her mad. She uses her son, bobby, to kill whoever she consoders unworthy of being her daughter until only one remains. Is shown to hesitate to kill them, however, as acting like a caring mother brings her strange feelings of hapiness.
Scissorman
The mysterious and hideous young boy who randomly appears to attack the girls with a giant pair of scissors. Is later revealed to be Bobby Barrows, mary and simon's son, who was born hideously deformed a la Quasimodo from Hunchback of Notre-dame. He kills out of jealousy over his mother's perceived bias towards the girls, which is further enhanced by mary's years of venting her frustration and anger at miscarrying a daughter on him.
OTHER CHARACTERS
Simon Barrows
Played by: Mark Hamill
The reigning patriarch of the barrows family. A rich aristocrat. He and his wife mary are mutually abusive towards one another. It all culminated in a violent fight where simon caused mary to miscary their second child, their daughter. This drove mary mad, and she imprisoned him in the castle's dungeon, where she tortured him and left him to starve to death. He became a cannibal out of starvation. When jennifer finds him, he delivers a chilling, yet melancholical speech detailing his life and the "cradle under the stars", and also tells jen of a curse befallen on the barrows name after Theodore Barrows, the first lord of the house, Snitched and captured Joan of Arc during the hundred years war. As Joan burned at the stake, she cursed the name Barrows, among others, To eternal misery and pain.
Danielle Barrows
The stillborn daughter of Mary and Simon. Jennifer finds the fetus in a scene similar to the Fetus scene in PT.
Alright, everything seems in order. Anything i'm missing? Is there any idea, scene, story beat or shots/camera angles that comes to mind?
