So. I'm not
quite skilled enough to hire people to film the trailer, but here's the script...
You Will Count Your Dead0:00-0:06
[Wide shot of Icarus flying through space fades slowly into view, starting from the thrusters and panning to the nose/bridge.]
0:10
Burke (voiceover): We’re not breaking the light barrier – we’re sneaking around it.
0:12-0:37
[Flashes of the Icarus crew, including scenes of Jones sneaking away to the engine room]
0:37-0:55
[Burke follows Jones to the engine room. A fight breaks out between them]
Jones: Our salvation, Burke: instant travel to the farthest stars!
0:55-1:07
[Scene cuts to Icarus jumping through the wormhole]
Virdon: *looking at the wormhole from the bridge* I promise you, Chris, I'll find a way home, no matter what.
1:07-1:13
[Icarus jumps through the wormhole, warning sirens go off – cut to black]
1:13-1:27
[Burke wakes up in a jungle and looks around]
Burke: What is this place?
[Scene cuts to Burke, Virdon and co. wandering into a tribe at night. Camera pans out, showing an aerial view of the camp in the jungle. There are fires lit and people are dancing. Scene cuts again, showing Burke flirting with Ehpah. Nearby, Virdon and Iro are talking beside a campfire, exchanging stories]
1:27-1:45
[Aerial shot of the tribe rushing towards something, shouting. Camera follows them and zooms in and cuts to a ground-level shot of them surrounding Burke and Virdon]
Virdon: *whispering* I…think they’re going to sacrifice us to give them luck if we don’t cooperate.
Burke: *whispering* You mean they’re saving us for something special?
1:45-2:03
[Scene cuts to a wide shot of an old, crashed ship. Camera quickly zooms to show the group walking towards it, and follows them to the ship]
Burke: Icarus was the first of its kind – there shouldn’t be another ship here at all.
[Camera pans around the ship and is obstructed by a tree. Once it passes, the landscape has changed, and the crashed Icarus is now shown in the moonlight]
Virdon (voiceover): I can't get a signal. There's only silence on all channels.
[music transitions into
Black Blade]
0:25-0:49
[Torches on the horizon. Virdon looks up at them, looking alarmed]
Virdon: They must’ve known we were here.
[Shots of them being chased throughout the sequence. There’s a crack as Iro falls. Riders quickly surround them]
0:45
[Burke and co. are in a cage. Urko approaches, towering over them]
Burke: It's a goddamn ape!
[Music and scene both cut. ‘Marooned’ shows up on black background]
