GATTACA by Andrew M. Niccol - The Script Source

FADE IN:
A white title appears on a black screen.
"As night-fall does not come at once, neither does
oppression...It is in such twilight that we all must be aware
of change in the air - however slight - lest we become
victims of the darkness."
Justice William O. Douglas
The title fades off, replaced by a second title.
"I not only think that we will tamper with Mother Nature, I
think Mother wants us to."
William Gaylin
The second title fades off, leaving a dark screen.
The darkness gradually gives way to a dawning light.
We are confronted with sight of a barren, empty landscape.
A wide expanse of wasteland.
Suddenly, without warning, an elephant tusk falls from the
sky and crashes onto the parched ground. The earth-
shuddering impact causes the tusk to rebound once in slow
motion before finally settling to the desert floor in a cloud
of dust.
The first tusk is quickly followed by a second, also dropping
from the heavens. It lands near the first. Another tusk
smashes to earth several yards away. Yet another comes
crashing into the foreground.
Finally the dust settles upon a graveyard of tusks.
A BARREN, EMPTY LANDSCAPE
DISSOLVE TO:
In another region of the wasteland, a forest of tree trunks
suddenly rains down from the sky. The trunks thump to the
hard ground, also rebounding in slow motion. Cleanly sawn,
branchless, palm-like trunks, they come to rest in the dust
only to be followed by a second cascade of lumber.
When the dust finally clears. the felled tree trunks lie in
a huge, log-jam in the desert.
