Leap Year

LEAP YEAR by Deborah Kaplan & Harry Elfont December 16, 2008 Revised Draft Spyglass Entertainment Benderspink EXT. LOUISBERG SQUARE - DAY It’s a sunny, crisp winter day in this upscale Boston neighborhood. We see a SIGN out in front of one of the TOWNHOUSES: OPEN HOUSE TODAY: 11-2. INT. TOWNHOUSE - DAY ANNA (30’s), poised and driven, stands in the vacant apartment. She looks around. It’s dark. The carpets are worn. Dusty curtains hang in the windows. Anna takes it in for a moment -- and then gets to work: (BEGIN TITLES SEQUENCE) - Anna DIRECTS a TEAM OF MOVERS as they carry in BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE FURNITURE, NEW RUGS, CURTAINS and ART. - ANNA shows them EXACTLY where to put the furniture. She arranges BEAUTIFULLY BOUND BOOKS on the shelves. Puts FRESH FLOWERS in vases. Hangs classy BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS. Even puts a MOZART PIANO CD on the stereo. - The REALTOR walks in and looks amazed. The place has been completely transformed. It looks BRIGHT, AIRY and BEAUTIFUL. Anna hands the Realtor a package of SLICE AND BAKE COOKIES. ANNA Put these in the oven a half hour before the open house and you’ll have multiple offers by lunch. Anna’s BLACKBERRY BUZZES and she’s out the door. - Speeding along in a CAB, Anna types into her Blackberry. She pulls up to her next appointment ... - A DOWNTOWN LOFT. We see quick cuts of Anna as she transforms it from a cold industrial space to a cool modern apartment. Puts a MILES DAVIS CD on.
