Romeo and Juliet Adaptation Proposal

In my scene of Romeo and Juliet I would choose the scene where Tybalt and Mercutio die. Tybalt would start by wearing all black and potentially something along the lines of a biker guy and be in VDP or if played by a girl in one of the other dorms. Tybalt would be talking badly about the Montague family, this is where it would change from the book, he would be amping himself up in order to go to a confrontation and kill Romeo. The screen would flash to the Montagues who were sitting in the black box wearing jeans, and plain red shirts. They would be having random small conversations and messing around with their weapons (Swords, guns, etc.) FLash again and Tybalt is walking across campus with at least one other person, while continue talking about how he is going to kill Romeo and make him pay. Cut to Tybalt barging into the Black box and confronting Mercutio and BEnvolio or whoever else is in the room at the time. Tybalt yells for Romeo, MErcutio tries to get the information to him the Romeo is not there, but Tybalt will have none of it, pushing Mercutio to the side, Tybalt walks into another room (The dressing room in Black box) and ROmeo bursts in happily and filled with joy, he wants to speak with Mercutio about something but before he can Tybalt burst out and shoot a single shot at him without any warning, while he misses ROmeo pulls his own gun and the two begin to chase and fight each other using an array of items as weapons (Guns, Swords, Chairs, anything they can get to use. Tybalt begins to get ahead at the beginning before romeo gets on tom and is attacking him. Mercutio is yelling the whole time at the two and decides to jump in even though Benvolio is trying to hold him back. Mercutio pushes Romeo to get him to stop, Tybalt in the back grabs his gun and goes to shoot romeo but hit Mercutio. He flees the second Mercutio freezes with his companion and goes to the gym. Romeo is still up with BEnvolio and you can hear him scream all the way to the gym where TYbalt is, Tybalt is in shock and his partner is trying to get him to leave but he won't. Rome gets an angry glint in his eye while holding Mercutio's body and get up, grabs his own gun and marches to the gym where he meets Tybalt. Rome advances and begins to attack TYbalt, Tybalt, partner flees through the door, and Benvolio is locked outside, but banging on the door to get Romeo to stop. Tybalt gets ahead of ROmeo and is yelling at him to stop and leave it alone because it was his fault and he points the gun at Romeo and ROmeo takes it and brings it to his head and says one of them is not going to make it out, only one of them will leave and the other will die. TYbalt hesitates and ROmeo takes the moment to grab his gun, Tybalt turns and begins to flee, ROmeo shoots him in the back and the scene fades as Tybalt hits the ground.
