'Larkspur' Trailer Script

The girl is sitting in a plain room all alone, all you can see is a chair as she adjusts a camera. 

Scarlett: (Adjusts camera and sits down) You can label me if you want. A psycho, a sociopath (pause) a 'Catfish'. It's not complex. It's not some perverted obsession. It's just (pause) revenge. 

We plan for the opening lines to last for the first 30 seconds of the trailer. The speech is going to be disjointed but spoken confidently, so that it has clarity for the audience. 


Millie: He messaged me 

Louis: I've really loved talking to you and I'm...

Scarlett: Ready to meet you. Are you ready to meet me? 


here we see the catfishing officially taking place, and Scarlett Larkspur's plan is revealed. We hear the voice of who Millie thinks she is talking to, as an average teenage guy, however it blends into Scarlett's voice as it becomes clear she is posing as him. 

Scarlett: I'm not what you think I am. I'm a Larkspur. 

This line provides a memorable ending, as it is spoken quietly and solemnly it add's the eery feel to the ending of the trailer that we wanted. The mention of Larkspur ties in the character to the title, as we intended.
