Some differences in the script. Here's a bit I would like to have seen (in yellow.) 202. FLASH - CLOSE SHOT - MARTIAN We see a head, hairless, reddish like the planet itself, crossed by protruding veins which pulsate. Dominant is a single multi-lensed eye with colored pupils. The Martian is staggered by the light. He lifts his strange, suckered hands to ward it off. 203. LIVING ROOM - CLAYTON, SYLVIA AND MARTIAN Clayton turns with Sylvia to escape. The Martian lunges after them. Clayton turns the flashlight on the figure again. It stops, staggered. Clayton flings the axe and the Martian reels back as the axe hits. An unhuman SCREAMING sounds as it disappears back into the cavity. This continues overscene as Clayton swings Sylvia to the opening in the ceiling. He snatches up the piece of cloth Sylvia dropped, then follows. 204. INT. WRECKED FARMHOUSE - ATTIC Sylvia comes up through the sloping floor, slides to- ward a broken window, its frame sprung half out of the wall. Clayton slides after her, through the dormer window. They drop out between frame and wall. The SCREAMING continues. 205. SPECIAL EFFECT - WRECKED FARMHOUSE AND MARTIANS The unhuman SCREAMING comes overscene, wild. We see the red leg of the sentinel Martian, which is moving. In b.g. a machine is on the ground, misted. From an opening comes a yellowish, strange-colored beam. Visible in this are three moving creatures. Squat. Thick through. Everything about them sags downward under air weight and the pull of gravity. In f.g., Clayton and Sylvia flee wildly from the house. 206. EXT. FARMYARD - (NIGHT) - FEATURING CLAYTON AND SYLVIA The two run from the direction of the house, smashing through a burned hedge, their feet stirring hot ashes and bright sparks in the darkness. The SCREAMING trails away. |

Nice, Loz. You did see the parts that didn't make it. |

It sure is. I hope we will get to see them. |

That's too bad. Anyway we've got a clue how the movie intended to go... |
Author: | Loz [ Sun Aug 28, 2005 10:33 am ] |
Post subject: | |
Yes. They just didn't shoot that bit. |

Would be to horrifying, I think... |

What three Martians stood in a yellow light? |

No, Forrester throwing an axe at the Martian. |

Well we do kind of see that. We know it has happened anyway. |
Author: | oever532 [ Sun Aug 28, 2005 10:42 am ] |

He did throw something at the Martian. |

As long as it wasn't his drink. |

It wasn't, I thought it was a plank. |
Author: | Loz [ Sun Aug 28, 2005 10:50 am ] |

I always thought it was an axe. Doesn't he pick one up? |
Author: | oever532 [ Sun Aug 28, 2005 11:01 am ] |
Post subject: | |
I could hardly see it... I might take another look. |
Author: | Loz [ Sun Aug 28, 2005 12:28 pm ] |
Post subject: | |
You hardly can but I think it is an axe. The same one he breaks the probe with. |
Author: | oever532 [ Sun Aug 28, 2005 12:34 pm ] |
Post subject: | |
Then it's possible that it's an axe. |

It had to be something that cut the Martian and made it bleed. How else would some of its blood get splashed on Sylvia's scarf? |
