Timeline Page #4

Synopsis: In this case, a group of archaeologists and combat experts led by Paul Walker and Frances O'Connor use a "3-D fax machine" (so much for technobabble!) to time-travel back to France in 1357, in hopes of retrieving Walker's father and returning safely to the present. No such luck! Fending for themselves against marauding hordes of medieval French warriors at war with the invading British, these semi-intrepid travelers find their body count rising, and the deadline for their return home is rapidly approaching.

- What are you talking about?

- You son of a b*tch,

- Excuse me?

- You brought us back

on the day the French attack,

By tonight, this whole place

is gonna be burned to the ground,

Stop with the history

and look for the professor,

Now, follow me,

Let's go,

l'm a physicist, Give me

something to do, l can help,

- Might as well be a pharmacist,

- Good one, Robert,

- Replacement panels are on their way,

- How long will this take?

Five hours and 27 minutes,

How do you know it's gonna

take 5 hours and 27 minutes?

Because that's all the time we have,

Once this platform is fixed,

even if the markers run out, we can

send someone back to get them?

The thing holding the wormhole open

is their markers,

But you've opened and closed

it dozens of times,

- Once the platform,,,

- Look, we don't even know

what we did to link us

to this wormhole,

A lucky calibration, chance impurity

in the coils, The point is, the grenade

probably destroyed any possibility

of re-creating it,

Once their markers expire,

they could be stuck there forever?

- ls that what you're saying?

- They could be,

Guys, come on, Come on, come on,

Come on, Come on,

Come on, this way,

Castle La Roque awaits its soldiers,

- The manor house,

- Look at that,

l can't believe it,

We were just working on it,

That's Castlegard, all right,

lt's different,

That right section, l had wrong,

- Where did that tower come from?

- What if my Dad's in there?

- Yeah, you're right,

- How are we gonna get in?

Guys, soldiers coming,

- You there!

- Come on,

Why aren't you packing up?

- Run! Run!

- Halt! Stop!

- Go, go, go, go!

- Don't let them get away!

Get that horse out of the way!

My lord!

- Pick him up,

- Come on, my friend,

- Who are they?

- We captured them in the village,

l am Lord Oliver,

Who speaks for you?

- l do, my lord,

- You speak strangely,

Yes, we are Scottish, my lord,

Scottish? You've come

to kill us all in our beds?

First the old man

and now this group,

Why do the Scottish

find this village so pleasing?

- lt must be your lord's kind manners,

- lndeed it must,

My lady,

- l beg your pardon, my lord,

- Let him speak,

- My lord, the old man you spoke of,,,

- Edward De Johnness?

He claims he's a magister,

- Do you know of him?

- He's our master, sir,

- All is well with him?

- He said he was alone,

We were several days behind him,

He does not know we are here,

Who are you?

Yes, you, The one whose head

is touching the ceiling,

Franois, my lord,

A Frenchman,

Hold, Please, Please,

We're all gentlemen here,

He's our interpreter, sir,

Forgive them, l'm at war with the

French, as well as the Scottish,

Have l forgotten anyone?

The Spaniards, am l at war with them?

Arnaut has sent many spies

into my midst,

- No, he's not a spy,

- No?

- He's our friend,

- l'm sure he is,

He's too tall to be a spy, anyway,

- Oh, my God!

- Get rid of the Frenchman,

Put them with the old man,

Don't! Don't!

Oh, Franois, Franois,

Jeff Maguire

Jeff Maguire (born 1952) is an American screenwriter.Regarded for his talent for writing sports films, Jeff Maguire got his first screenwriting break with his script Escape to Victory, a film about soccer directed by John Huston in 1981. His most recent contribution is Gridiron Gang, released in 2006. Maguire's most famous film is In the Line of Fire starring Clint Eastwood and directed by Wolfgang Petersen, for which he received a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination for 1993. In 1990 Maguire was approached by producer Jeff Apple to develop his Secret Service agent concept into a film treatment. Maguire was in debt to his relatives and about to have his utilities turned off when his script based on Apple's concept, "In the Line of Fire," went into a bidding war between Tom Cruise, Sean Connery, and Clint Eastwood. When he received a call from Eastwood congratulating him on the completed deal (over $1,000,000.00) Jeff's wife reportedly had to return a dress so they could afford to go out to dinner to celebrate. Prior to this, various moguls had rejected and almost destroyed the story. Dustin Hoffman cleverly added the hero's guilt over failing to save JFK, then exited; Tom Cruise's people demanded this be deleted, because a 28-year-old hero would not have been around for JFK. The dead-broke writer spurned about $100,000 from Cruise, but wound up with Clint Eastwood and about $1,000,000.Jeff Maguire is a graduate of Hampshire College, Amherst, Massachusetts. Raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, Maguire was once a railroad worker, a waiter, and a volunteer counselor with Mother Teresa's group, Missionaries of Charity, in the Pico-Union section of downtown Los Angeles, working primarily with Hispanic gangs. In the 1980s and 90s, he also frequented the famous Manhattan Beach, California video store Video Archives, where future filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary were clerks. Today, Jeff Maguire is a follower of Meher Baba and has contributed to the Meher Baba journal, Glow International.Jeff Maguire appears in In the Line of Fire briefly as a secret service officer running alongside the president's limousine. more…
