AvP deleted/missing scenes!

[ShadowPred]

Well that is true.

[luispaulo53]

In Anderson's script, the story involved 5 predators, not 3. Everyone says that that interview with Anderson where he says "...well, as a filmmaker, I'm satisfied with the film, but as a fan of the originals, this cut really pisses me off." is false, well, this is my opinion, FOX read Anderson's script and because of the budget and their interest of making a lot of money they changed it. I wonder where all those missing scenes are.

[ShadowPred]

I was so pissed when i found out that the 5 preds were cut down to 3


but even so...the last script..the one that i read, had only 3 predators, yet in every page at least 3 scenes where cut out, so many damn scenes were cut out. So who knows if those scenes would have mattered or not.

[luispaulo53]

What I mean is that the whole script changed because FOX wanted that way.

MUCH longer?


what the hell were they thinking, were we going to see 10 minute slow mo sequences?

Thank god they cut out the slow mo time, it was just right in AVP..any lnger and this would be my face....

I love that slow-motion sequence with the face-huggers, so you -- dear sir-- can go to hell!

I was saying that if it was any longer it would be too much...i said that it was just right in AVP, i am not hating on the scene.

I found this  http://trw.umbc.edu/pdfs/vol39/theretriever3901.pdf

Look at page 18, article about AVP

Major point

"Anderson's shooting script was 110 pages while the released product was 87 minutes, meaning at least 20 minutes of the intended  movie was removed."

[ShadowPred]

I bet my life that they are just waiting for AVP 2 to release this extended version that i have said that they should do...whether or not the damn scene's effect are even done.

[luispaulo53]

I hope so. I'll buy it! One thing I don't get. The special effects team didn't have the time to finish all the scenes, right? Why not finish them after the movie release and put them on the unrated DVD?

[SiL]

The released shooting script was about 104 pages. There's a lot of description going on in it, with Anderson's usually directing the audience, so it's hardly surprising it came out as short as it did.

Where I can get the original script? With 110 pages?

The script above has 100 pages, was edited by FOX for sure!

What effects scenes are they talking about??? I don't think a $40 mill. budget goes a long way anyway.

As for another cut I think the UNRATED version is the last cut we'll get.

No, that's the one. That's what they shot with. Shooting scripts often have 'scene omitted's on them.
