EXT. THE UNIVERSE
OVERTURE.
HEROIC BRASS swells in over a shot of the universe. We settle on the CRAB NEBULA, clouds of dust and gas spiral slowly. The haze in this stellar nursery grows more dense and abundant, the gas globule pulses with brilliant light. The spherical mass collapses and rotates.
The atoms gather in closer proximity and spin even faster, this cloud begins to collapse upon it's own centrifugal force. This friction heats and send more light from its core. An Explosion. It's the BIRTH OF THE DOOMSTAR.
FADE TO:
EXT. CHURCH OF THE BLACK KLOK
This exterior is a vantage point where we can see the stars. A crew of hooded MONKS look skyward and sing in latin.
[MONKS]
Fata sidus oritur (4x)
*Translates to THE DOOMSTAR IS BORN.
[MONK 1]
Dethklok is disbanded
[MONK 2]
One of them was taken
[MONK 3]
We look to the skies to watch a new star awaken
Ishnifus Meaddle, high holy priest of the Church of the Black Klok reveals himself on the middle of the group.
[ISHNIFUS]
Oh the Doomstar is born. Oh the Dethly lights. and the star will turn to blood on this prophet’s night and the prophecy has warned us that one of us must die. before this is all over one of us must die.
[MONKS]
Doomstar. Doomstar.
PULL back further to show Charles Offdensen (CFO) watching them from high atop a mountain with his arms folded frowning.
[CFO]
There was a time when the five of them were just a band. But that was yesterday.
[CFO (CONT’D)]
So innocent of this church and all these prophecies. but then they took him away
[CFO (CONT’D)]
The times have changed the air’s begun to taste of metal. The whales, they chant a constant warning they keep singing and repeating
EXT. CHURCH OF THE BLACK KLOK
Back on the mountain top. Hair blowing in the wind.
[CFO]
One of us must die. One of us must die.
[KLOKATEERS/CFO]
Bow before the doomstar. Klok keeps ticking further
Pull out further to show CFO watching them.
[CFO]
Life on earth will be eclipsed the looming METALOCALYPSE.
One of you must die. one of you must die
EXT. CHURCH OF THE BLACK KLOK
The monks are circled together. Monk 1 sings holding a scroll as they all bow.
[MONK 1]
Dethklok they must be rejoined
Evil it must be destroyed
No more apathetic stoics they can learn to be heroic
write the song that will be our salvation.
