	JASON-X

	BY TOD FARMER

	REVISED ROUGH DRAFT

	MAY 24, 1999



	FADE IN:



	DARKNESS.



A scream rises to an ominous crescendo as we SHOCK CUT INTO -

MONTAGE of fast moving clips.  Death, destruction, fear.  All images

taken from the previous ten Friday The 13ths.
	AGAIN, DARKNESS.



								OPEN ON:



The year is 2455. The place is Old Earth. Barren, void of life, a

hazardous and violent planet. The sky is blood red with spiked clouds of

dark gray.  It is beautiful, but frighteningly foreign.
BLUE LIGHTNING CRACKLES as several figures rush through a DUST STORM

below.
Small groups of people, wearing thick dusters, goggles and masks, work

nearby. Some dig in the cracked earth, others take assorted readings

with strange devices.
This is an archeological expedition.
								CUT TO:



	INT.  DARK PLACE
