Hey Guys got a question hopefully ya'll can help me out with, hope this makes sense:
Ok, so I KILL a character midway through my script, actually I'm thinking now it breaks into Act 2 (ala Save The Cat, R.I.P. Blake Snyder), when it happens it is shocking and violent. But, I'm thinking of bringing her back at the end through a few quick flashes of expository shots of what you didn't see at the time, then it becomes obvious and everybody goes "Ohhhh Genuis, genuis, applaud, applaud!" So my question is has this been done?
I'm really torn on this, because this script has a few twists at the end already (I'd say one BIG one, and 2 smaller ones) and then I throw that in there... How many twists are too many if they are all supported by the story and believable?
For the record I'm not looking for it to be M. Night Shamaylan-ish, so if you guys frown upon twists let me know! Thanks!
