The hacker movie

THE HACKER MOVIE

INT. CINEMA LOBEY - NIGHT

TWO MEN WALK THROUGH A BUSY CINEMA LOBBEY. THEY PASS A DIE HARD 4: LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD POSTER.

GUY 1
You know, I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed that.

GUY 2
Are you f**king kidding me? It was f**king terrible! And so bloody unrealistic. Hacking doesn’t work like that! You can’t do the kind of shit that kid did.

GUY 1
Mate, nobody cares

GUY 2
Plenty of people on the internet care!

GUY 1
Well if you’re that disgusted by it, why don’t you go and make your own crappy movie about hacking? And then you and your internet bum chums can all have a merry old time.

GUY 2
Maybe I will!

GUY 2 STORMS OFF LEAVING GUY 1 STANDING THERE

BEAT

GUY 1
Cock.

I loved this bit, I really like the over dramatic actions of the geeky haker guy. I was thinking, perhaps at the beginning, guy 2 could bet guy 1 he could make a better hacker movie than Die Hard. Then at the end the camera could pan back to see the two guys in the cinema watching the trailer and guy 1, with an amazed look on his face just silently hands over £20 to guy 2 who is looking smug. Just a slightly different possible ending, but I really like the sketch.
