Reptile Universe/Trailer transcripts

The following is a collection of transcripts of trailers for the 2024 Redman animated film *Reptile Universe*.

## Teaser trailer

*(MPA green screen)*

*(Shows a relatively quiet but sparsely populated swamp surrounded by tall mangrove trees. The trees are suddenly blown towards the left and a large shadow begins to eclipse the entire area. The rural lizard residents rush outside to the horror. We then see a floating rock island travelling slowly as the background music crescendos. An army of lizard soldiers are then seen running towards the field with the weapons ready. The camera zooms towards the middle of the island, where Boa is sitting in the middle of the throne and his assistant Maximus is reporting to him.)*

**Maximus:** So what do we do, sir?

**Boa:** Shoot the suckers.

*(A wooden ramp detaches from the floating island where Boa’s soldiers are seen marching with their bows, much to the surprise of the lizards. They stop just before the end of the ramp for a moment.)*

**Lizard Commander:** Charge!

*(The lizard army charges towards Boa’s snake army but none of them manage to do any harm to the snakes, although one arrow manage to knock one out. The snakes then shoot back with white arrowheads, creating webs which trap all the lizards, including the rural residents. A number of meteorite-like cannonballs head towards the swamp, bursting the houses into flames. Cuts to Boa sitting on his throne with a golden rolled map.)*

**Boa:** *(laughs maniacally)* Very soon, I will rule the entire world by storm!

*(The background increases in brightness until Boa disappears when we cut to black. Cuts to a scene where Chantelle is walking down an isolated and heavily graffitied alley. She spots a wooden box and slowly opens the lid where three rings with a light green swirl are placed.)*

**Chantelle:** What is this?

*(She then proceeds to take the ring out of the box and inserts it in her index finger before staring at it. The ring illuminates in the same light green colour before the screen abruptly cuts to the Reptile Universe logo for a brief moment.)*

*(Shows the text “KINGDOMS COLLIDE 2024” with the Lionsgate and Redman Films logos and copyright below.)*

## Theatrical trailer #1

*(MPA green screen)*

*(Shows a skyline of Vancouver, Canada, where we zoom into an apartment building. Chantelle is seen packing up for school and later ends up walking on a pavement. )*

**Chantelle:** I’m Chantelle Paradis, normal French-Canadian teenager. I score well in class…

*(Cuts to a close-up shot of Chantelle showing off her test papers with “A”s clearly marked on the top left corner)*

**Chantelle:** Oh! And I also believe that everyone gets to express themselves!

*(Chantelle does an over-exaggerated pose, resulting in some papers flying towards the screen.)*

*(Shows Lionsgate and Redman Films logos)*

*(Chantelle rushes excitedly to the main entrance of the Trudeau Middle School.)*

**Chantelle:** Kaelyn, you won’t believe what I just found!

**Kaelyn:** What is it?

*(Cuts to Chantelle and Kaelyn going into a dark alleyway)*

**Chantelle:** *(off-screen)* Oh, you’ll see…

*(Chantelle then proceeds to open the box of warp rings, gives Kaelyn one of the rings before cutting to a close-up shot of Chantelle looking at a ray of green light.)*

**Chantelle:** WHOAAA-

*(The screen abruptly cuts to black before fading to a forest where Chantelle turns around to find Kaelyn)*

**Chantelle:** Kaelyn? Kaelyn?!!

*(The forest is then revealed to be part of a larger magical universe as the camera zooms out to get a panoramic view)*

**Chantelle:** (shocked) Oh no…

Text: from REDMAN FILMS

*(Cuts to Chantelle trying to introduce herself to the lizards)*

**Chantelle:** Look, I don’t know who you guys are, I just need to find a way to get home!

**Bush:** It’s okay, we will make sure you get back as soon as possible!

*(The entire crowd of lizards cheers for Chantelle)*

Text: IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE

*(Chantelle, Bush and Shrub are seen getting ready for battle)*

**Shrub:** (off-screen) Our kingdom is in danger of being invaded by the snakes!

**Shrub:** We must protect ourselves at all costs!

*(Shrub realises that Chantelle was in the room the whole time)*

**Shrub:** And I see that you have brought someone new here, Bush?

**Chantelle:** Yes, I am new here.

Text: AND WATCH WORLDS COLLIDE

*(Boa is seen standing on his floating island while Kaelyn and Maximus watch him in the background)*

**Boa:** With my new army, we are unstoppable!

*(The snake army is almost getting ready for attack before Chantelle interrupts them off-screen)*

**Chantelle:** Stop!

*(Chantelle walks towards the snake army, revealing her rainbow eyes)*

**Chantelle:** The only thing between the lizard kingdom and you is me.

*(Boa then gets infuriated and levitates upwards with his magical stick aiming at Chantelle. The two then begin to attack face-to-face, before a ray of white light shines between them, showing the Reptile Universe logo. The logo then flips the other way to show the text “APRIL 2024” with the Lionsgate and Redman Films logos and copyright below.)*
