More often than not, the final product shown in movie theaters is a far cry from the screenwriter’s initial intentions. Only TotallyCandy has a peek at some of the original movie endings…
Up this week: Thelma & Louise
INT. CAR – DAY
They are still looking at each other really hard.
LOUISE
Are you sure?
Thelma nods.
THELMA
Hit it.
Louise puts the car in gear and FLOORS it.
CUT TO:
EXT. DESERT – DAY
The cops all lower their weapons as looks of shock and
disbelief cover their faces.
INT. CAR – DAY
THELMA
Wait!
Louise quickly hits the brakes, screeching to a halt before they reach the edge of the cliff.
LOUISE
What is it?!
THELMA
I forgot to tell you some good news.
Louise looks at her expectantly, then over her shoulder at the police cars closing in on them.
LOUISE
Well?!
THELMA
Reba McEntire wrote me back and, get this, even sent a picture personally signed by HER!
LOUISE
Oh, Jesus Chri —
Now entirely surrounded by police cars, Thelma and Louise have nowhere to go — except a lifetime of bologna sandwiches in prison.
THELMA
Oops.
FADE OUT
THE END
