After today's quote -
- the script instructs -
- however, the interesting thing about the conclusion of Vicki's voiceover is that in the script it's completely contained within Scene 2, but in the pilot, though it begins in Scene 2, it actually plays completely over Scene 3 and into Scene 4. And here's how the script describes those two scenes:
Though as anyone who has actually seen the pilot knows, the camera does not go in far enough for Vicki's eyes to fill the screen, nor is there a clock in the hallway at Collinwood that strikes the hour of 8:00p.m.
Page 1/Scene 2 - Vicki (V.O.) (CONT'D): 'To a world I've never known, with people I've never met people, who tonight, are still only vague shadows in my mind, but who will soon fill all the days and nights of my tomorrows.'
- the script instructs -
And as HER EYES FILL THE SCREEN, we HOLD a beat, and . . . |

3 EXT. COLLINWOOD - NIGHT An isolated English Manor House, atop a rocky coastal cliff known as “Widow’s Hill”, overlooking the dark Atlantic and the small Maine fishing village of Collinsport. A STORM is brewing. The WIND HOWLS, rushing up the rocks off the sea to MOAN LIKE A BANSHEE between the Manor’s many gothic turrets and spires. A large stone structure, built in the 1700s, the house is three stories in height, with dark, deserted wings extending in both directions ... Mostly closed-off now, it is overrun with vines and leaves -- shrouded with tall, dark, forbidding trees. The sole remaining members of the Collins family ... walk like ghosts through its dark corridors. 4 INT. COLLINWOOD — SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY - NIGHT As MRS. JOHNSON, the family housekeeper of forty years, early 60s, high-necked long black dress (“Rebecca’s” Mrs. Danvers) walks TOWARD CAMERA carrying a pile of fresh towels. In the b.g., a tall GRANDFATHER CLOCK CHIMES the hour. 8:00p.m. HOLD as she turns into an open doorway by CAMERA. |
