Hollywood's next Blockbuster Movie script?
we needed to think of a movie script
we needed to think of an idea, characters and and everything which would go with a movie
here is my one :)
It was 10.00pm in LA, Josh, Connor and Alex were chilling at the workshop talking about cars like they always did.
…. Cellphone went off there was a street racing happening at 11.00pm and they wanted Alex to race in his ….
They hopped into their cars and headed downtown.
The streets were buzzing with people and cars.
The race was going to start so Alex staged up. Josh and Connor sat on the bonnets of their cars watching.
3,2,1 the cars were off they sounded like …….
Not long after the race started the sound of sirens and flashing lights were seen and heard. “Hurry “ Josh said to Connor as they started their cars to get away from the cops.
Not everyone was able to escape “Damm it” said Connor. The cops got him!
Connor knew what was going to happen. Street racing was not allowed and the cops loved impounding the racers and fans cars. Right on time a tow truck came round the corner for Connor’s car.
Poor Connor he could only watch as they towed away his ……
Connor had no choice but to walk back to the workshop and tell the others what had happened.
The next morning the boys were thinking how to get Connors car out of the impound lot. They could not pay for it they didn’t have the dollars.
There was only one choice and that was to take it but how?
They had a plan now to put it into action.
Alex and Connor took off in Alex’s …. Josh was in his …..
They got to the impound lot. Now for the plan.
Alex and Josh started doing skids out the front on the road to cause a distraction, mean time Connor snuck round the back climbed over the fence and found his car.
He started it up and floored it out the lot! The security guard was left standing there wondering what on earth was going on.
The 3 boys made it back to the workshop and quickly put their cars inside out of sight.
To this day they continue with racing but are a little more careful now.
