Van Niekerk 2 Opening Scene of: BLACK PHANTER 2 by Robè Ruiter 3 Synopsis: As the Wakanda nation sets off to start their International Outreach centers in South Africa’s nine different provinces, everyone, including the families of the small towns is looking forward to life changing possibilities. With Vabranuim on their side, the outreach centers train young men across South Africa to be heavyweight crewmen. Ready for anything. Many enemies of the Wakanda royal family has tried to get their hand on their powerful vabranuim in order to gain status and control. The nation of Wakanda always rises above it all. All of this is on the line when T’Dara, son of king T’Challa and Queen Nakia life is at stake. Born with enhanced abilities and superhuman powers, T’Dara is known and feared by many across the world. That soon changes when the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan discovers a potent kryptonite that eliminates and weakens the powers of the black panther as well those of any weapon formed from vibranium the second they come a few feet near it. The Taliban kidnaps and tortures T’Dara. As the nation gets ready to go to war, The Taliban gets ready to take over what has become the most technologically advanced nation in the word… South Africa. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan uses the kryptonite to get their hands on the vabranium. They rob, kill, and destroy in order to gain power over everything and everyone in South Africa. The royal family has to fight for their power back and protect the people of South Africa without any of their technology, as they meet old and new enemies on the road, royal blood is shed at the hands of who they saw as family. 4 EXT. SMALL VILLAGE- DAY FADE IN A charming Northern Cape village surrounded by mountains; Sun shining, winding cobble stone streets, poplar trees with few leaves clinging to the branches, a weirdly shaped fountain in the town-square, stone cottages with thatched roofs(some a little shabbier than the rest), a poor architecture medieval Steepled church, little shops with colorful signs and in the distant you can hear Construction in progress. In front of an almost-finished-three-storey-building with the sign NORTHERN CAPE OUTREACH CENTRE, T’Challa, Nakia,Shuri and the tribal council is gathering. T’Challa and Nakia, holding hands, slowly strolls away from the others. T’CHALLA The Centre should be done in the next two days. The young men of the community eagerly await their training. This can mean great financial relieve for the families of this town. T’Challa signals a young man, about 25, his way. Camera angle focusses on the young man approaching T’Challa and Nakia, in the distance you can hear the tribal council talking indistinctly about the construction in progress. YOUNG MAN(T’DARA) Good day Mother. Good day Baba 5 NAKIA Son, it is time to gather your men at the town hall and inform them about their training and what is expected of them. T’DARA I wish I had the privilege to call the gathering. T’Dara with a confused smile on his face... T’DARA(CONT’D) They are so anxious to begin, they informed ME, their future King, that we are meeting later today. All three laughs. T’CHALLA Well, that’s good. They are showing signs of great dedicated warriors and men that will be able to provide for their families. Nakia glances at her watch. Nakia Look at the time, I still need to go check on the other centres. Nakia gives both the men hugs as a Royal Talon Fighter appears a few feet away. They watch her with admiration as she enters the jet. 6 INT. SHURI’S LAB,NORTHERN CAPE VILLAGE-LATER THE SAME DAY We hear faint music coming from Shuri’s headphones as she stares confused at something that looks like a toy animal in front of her. CLOSE ON she opens it up in the middle and check the wires inside. She puts it together again and presses a button. Nothing happens. Shuri sights and takes off her headphones. The elevator door opens and T’Challa enters. T’CHALLA What’s with the long face, little sister? Shuri throws her hands in the air. SHURI Its like the universe is blocking all the new gadgets from working, I have tried everything. I do not know what I’m doing wrong. T’ CHALLA I never thought id see the day when you can’t make something work. But not to worry your retirement fund is ready and waiting. Shuri faintly throws the toy at T’Challa. SHURI You wish. You will forever search for someone that can live up to my brilliance. 7 As they continue talking, we hear a loud bang like an explosion, followed by screaming in the distance. They both look at each other. Suddenly there are sparks flying from the computers and all the weapons in the lab, then just like that everything shuts down. T’Challa graps Shuri by the hand towards the elevator. We can see T’Challa trying to activate his Black Panther suits, but nothing happens. Shuri sees this and panic washes over both their faces, they knew something terrible is happening. As they got outside there were people on the ground and Nakia is running towards them. Nakia shouting and crying in a panic as she approaches them. NAKIA They took T’Dara. Nothing is working! They took my son! As T’Challa consoles Nakia , he looks up and watches the helicopter with the IEA sign on fly away. 8 FADE IN INT- Main lab Northern Cape Village- Day We see people at work fixing the computers. T’Challa and the leaders of the tribal council is sitting around a big wooden table listening to a radio broadcast. T’Challa has an angry expression on his face. RADIO BROADCAST As a discovery of a powerful kryptonite was made by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan that is believed to eliminate the powers of anything made of vabranium, they are taking the world by force. They took thousands of lives in a matter of hours and the lives of thousands are still at stake including that of the son of King T’Challa, who was kidnapped by the Taliban yesterday. We are still waiting to hear of any action or plan from the royal family and tribal councils as everyone awaits the ending of this horrific nightmare. Camera moves to the window over the fields and mountains, as the sound of the radio broadcast faints, dramatic music is playing as the screen fades dark. END OF OPENING SCENE.
