Cars are very important in Run Cholo Run, and cars are always important to a movie character. A car should tell us something about that person. Sometimes in a screenplay, the car is described generally, and other times it’s very specific and the Transpo Dept must pull out all the stops to find that car. And if the car gets damaged, then often three or more cars are used, in order to have multiple takes of a stunt or be able to shoot the movie out of order. Several times in this screenplay, we left the type of car TBD. What kind of car do you think each character should drive?
LILIANA drives a new, black Range Rover when she has an image to project and protect. She also has a “SIDE CAR” p40 (should be in the driveway on page 11) that she drives when she doesn’t want to draw attention to herself, or when she wants to pretend she’s just like everyone else. What would Liliana’s Side Car be?
What car would UNCLE REZI drive? How sad will you be to see it crashed for the movie?
OFFICER SANTARRO drives a mint, black Charger. Is it his car or does the police department own it?
On page 32, in what kind of car is TONTO hanging out the back while spraying lead?
What kind of car would RITA drive on page 33? Her character is introduced on page 20, but we wont really get to know her well.
On page 35, what kind of car would MARISOL drive? As you get to learn her character, what kind of car do you think she’d be driving?
Hope you like these pages. Please leave a comment or share. And as always, you can start at the beginning with Intro here, and Pages 1-6 here.
