So what was the buggie crash scene supposed to be about?

**Violent Delights** · 04-02-2017, 01:22 PM

a stunt gone wrong, to impress Aurora.

mlkj13 · 04-02-2017, 01:38 PM

Ahhh...ok.

**J-LawForever** · 04-02-2017, 11:00 PM

I think in the script it was after Aurora finds out Jim woke her up. And he was doing stupid things. And one of them was racing around in the golf cart and he gets into an accident. A lot of stuff from after the reveal as left out of the movie from the script.

**Violent Delights** · 04-03-2017, 03:16 AM

wow, I was only kidding.

mlkj13 · 04-03-2017, 04:55 AM

Good guess then. lol

**Violent Delights** · 04-04-2017, 02:37 AM

I'm not saying it's predictable or anything.

**Jen's Herald** · 04-04-2017, 12:05 PM

is there any place online where you can read the script?

The ending of the film is the thing that we adjusted most not just during this production but all the years leading up to it,”. “Sticking this ending was one of the trickiest parts of the film. There was a version where we wondered around the aftermath of their lives a little bit longer and the viewpoint character who took us on that walk was the captain of the ship. So there’s a version of that ending where you actually spend a few minutes with that guy silently looking at all the signs of how their lives played out.

I still like how it ends with her talking and straight to the song.

thanks for the screenplay link.

read it. interesting.

i think they should have filmed the nightclub scene with Jim trying to caress the face of a sexy lounge singer, and the image just fades away at his touch, leaving him even more lonely and disillusioned.

**Violent Delights** · 04-05-2017, 02:49 AM

it's always interesting to hear what some alternatives might have been.

**Jen's Herald** · 04-05-2017, 11:14 AM

i wonder what Aurora wished for when she blew out the candles on her birthday cake...?

Well, more time with Jim before he wakes Aurora would have been a good idea, but the need to get Jennifer on stage was high...

To be happy maybe?

But yeah. It was what almost 25 minutes before Aurora comes on screen.

An old thing. But reposting it.

Screenwriter Jon Spaihts on the Ending of ‘Passengers’ and How It Changed During Development

Quote:

Warning: Spoilers are discussed during this interview. Do not watch unless you’ve seen Passengers or don’t care about spoilers.

While I usually post all my interviews for a film before release or shortly after opening weekend, I had to make an exception for my interview with Passengers screenwriter Jon Spaihts. That’s because when I sat down with him for an exclusive video interview, we spent a lot of time talking about the ending and the various ways the script changed during development. However, now that the film has been in theaters for weeks and a lot of you have had the opportunity to see the film, I figure it’s safe to post the interview. In addition to talking about the ending, he revealed the way the rest of the script changed during development, what it was like finding out that Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence wanted to make the movie, and a lot more. If you’re curious about the behind-the-scenes of the writing of Passengers, you’ll really enjoy what he had to say.

If you’re not familiar with Passengers, the film is a rarity in Hollywood: a bona fide 100% original sci-fi story. Prometheus scribe Jon Spaihts penned the script years ago, and after a few different permutations, the movie finally came together with Lawrence and Pratt in the lead roles. The story takes place on a luxury spaceship bound for a human colony that’s 120 years away. Given the length of the journey, the 5,000 passengers are put into hypersleep, but when two of the passengers are mysteriously awakened 90 years too early, they strike up a relationship and quickly become the ship’s only hope of recovering from a serious malfunction. The film stars Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen, Andy Garcia, and Laurence Fishburne.
