Well the first part is finally here.
Screenplay Format Notes:
INT. LOCATION HERE - TIME OF DAY
Interior(INT) or exterior (EXT) are the two chosing for the scene. The location is where everything is happening. Time of day can range from day, morning, night, etc. Since this story does not indicate anything about this, just NIGHT will be used.
NAME (O.S.)
Dialogue will go here. The o.s. means
off screen.
Each 'character' usually gets capitalized when first appearing, in this case after a person's first appearance, just last names are used or the name will get abbreviated (as many people will have the name Jennifer...hint hint).
Usually sounds are capitalized (mainly for production purposes), but they won't be here.

PART 1
INT. COX'S CELL - NIGHT
On a concrete floor COURTNEY COX opens her heavy eyes. Her
eyes slowly gaze around the well lit windowless black room.
She looks around the metal cage that surrounds her and then
notices she is in a baggy white t-shirt and black panties.
There is a cot-like bed in the corner of the cell with one
small pillow. Cox then feels something is around her neck.
HURLEY (O.S.)
I was wondering when you were going
to wake up.
Cox turns to see a familiar face through the vertical metal
bars in the cell next to hers. She also wears an oversized
t-shirt with pink underwear. The beautiful face is perched
up on a higher bed in a bigger cell looking down at Cox.
Cox tries to figure where she knows that face from. She
then begins to feel the thin wire around her neck.
HURLEY (CONT'D)
Yeah don't touch that.
Cox moves to sit on the bed and faces ELIZABETH HURLEY.
COX
Why? What is it.
HURLEY
Trust me. Don't touch it.
Cox stops her fiddles with the cord around her neck.
COX
Aren't you Elizabeth Hurley?
HURLEY
(calmly)
Yes.
Cox looks beyond her cell. She sees several doors all on
one wall on the opposite side of the room. The only other
door is a couple feet away from the edge of Hurley's cell.
Cox sees she is in the second cell in a long row of numerous
cells against the wall of her side of the room.
COX
Where are we?
HURLEY
I think we're in a basement. But
I'm not sure.
COX
Well, what the hell is going on?
HURLEY
Oh don't worry. You and your friend
there will find out soon enough.
Cox follows Hurley's eyes behind her into the next cell.
She sees a body on the floor. She paces around her cell to
find a view of the face. Cox jumps onto the bed and leans
as far as she can against the cell wall.
She can see the face. It's JENNIFER ANISTON.
COX
Oh my God!
Cox reaches an arm through the bars. She can just reach the
body of Aniston.
COX (CONT'D)
JENN! Wake up!
Cox starts to shake the lifeless body. Aniston has the same
clothes as Cox and Hurley on. Cox suddenly catches another
woman on their side not moving a couple cells down. She
can't see the face. A light moan brings Cox's attention
back to Aniston's body.
COX (CONT'D)
Hey! Are you okay?
Cox rubs her arm. Aniston shoots awake and frantically looks
around the large room.
ANISTON
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
COX
Hey! Hey.
Aniston spots Cox reaching through the bars trying to comfort
her. They grab each other's hand.
ANISTON
Oh God!
(pause)
I knew this was going to happen!
COX
What?
ANISTON
I knew one day some crazed fan or
somebody would kidnap me and chop me
up into pieces.
Hurley starts to laugh. Cox looks back to see Hurley shaking
her head at the comment.
ANISTON (CONT'D)
I knew being on TV was a mistake.
HURLEY
Oh please. Calm down. You're not
gonna die.
Aniston looks around the large room. She sees the same person
Cox saw asleep a couple cells down.
HURLEY (CONT'D)
(softly)
Even though you might be wishing
that in a couple days.
Aniston's eyes catch red marks spread up the side of the
unknown body.
ANISTON
Oh jeez! Oh God!
COX
What what?
ANISTON
Look at that! What is that!
Aniston points to the mystery body and then to her side.
Cox follows Aniston's imitation to the distant body.
ANISTON (CONT'D)
(crying)
We are gunna die! I knew it! Oh
God!
COX
Look!
(pause)
I don't think we are.
Cox pauses to give Aniston's hand a stroke of comfort.
COX (CONT'D)
Because I think its obvious
(looks at Hurley)
That you know whats going on.
Aniston follows Cox's attention to Hurley. Hurley gives a
sly smirk and clears her throat.
HURLEY
Well for starters you better calm
your friend down before she gets
herself in trouble.
Before Hurley can get another word out, the three of them
hear an echo of a door open. It is heard from the single
door a few feet from Hurley's cell.
They hear the door shut and another one open. Again the
sound of a door being shut is heard. Only louder. Once
more they hear a door open and close. Even louder than
before.
The sound of a series of soft bleeps is heard. The handle
of the door to the large room they are in finally moves.

Had to center it all, to get it to look like an actual screenplay. I've written screenplays before, but nothing of this nature, so hopefully it will become easier as time goes. Any suggestions, comment, complaints are always welcome. Hope you all enjoy this first part of what I hope to be a very long series.
Subconsciously inspired by Fiktishish's Madonna's Tickle Chamber.
