Lethal Weapon taught us that suicide is funny.

For you film buffs out there, I stumbled upon a site that has some interesting shit on it. Movie scripts that didn't quite make it for whatever reason (a lot of times because studio executives are dumbasses) are always interesting to take a look at and Maddogmovies.com has a section devoted entirely to that sort of thing. There is always the chance that these could maybe, possibly be fake scripts but hey, any idea about a third Predator movie is fine with me, fake or not.

Here are some highlights.

Robert Rodriguez's idea for Predator 3 that never got the green light. This is what he had to say about it.
"...And it was really a cool script, it's floating around somewhere. But it's huge, and will never be made, the studio edited it and said there's no way we can make this, this would cost -- even at that time -- 150 million, and no women would ever go see this movie."

The Thing Part 2 synopsis

A theatrical version of Stephen King's The Stand. This would be really cool to see, especially after how lame the made-for-tv version was. Just about every Stephen King book has become a movie, why not this one? It's by far his best work.

Star Wars (Revision 1)
Star Wars (Revision 2)
A Synopsis of the first draft of Star Wars for those who don't want to read the whole script.

Just to let you know, the Star Wars synopsis is a pretty funny read and I'm really glad that George Lucas revised it.
