In the original script for Alien (1979) all characters were written as men. The writers added a note stating the roles were interchangeable between genders. The choice to make Ripley a woman was made late to surprise the audience.

DESPICABLE ME was released 16 years ago today. The Minions weren’t in the original script. They were added late in development as dimwitted background characters. They ended up becoming the face of the franchise.

In Alien (1979), Ellen Ripley was originally written as a man, but writer Dan O'Bannon designed every character to be played by either gender. Because the script wasn't rewritten around traditional female stereotypes, Weaver's Ripley remained tough, blunt, and highly competent.

Jon Hamm's role was written and always intended for him, and he is the only actor from the first table read to end up in the final film. According to Edgar Wright, each script sent to the main actors that were wanted for their respective roles included an iPod that contained a list of songs that were to be played (arranged in specific order) while reading a particular scene for the movie in order to emphasize the tone. Baby Driver (2017).

#HeoNamjun reveals Cha Segye’s topless scenes were originally written as him staying in his study room 😭😭 🗣️: You have a topless scene in every week. Were these really written on the script or what happened? 🦖: It wasn’t actually there. His English lines, the topless scenes were not written. That shower scene was originally a scene in his study. But after casting me, they immediately changed it. It was written as FANSERVICE for my fans. They looked for the scenes that my fans liked or those that got good responses and added them in the drama for some great attractions.

The opening of Star Trek (2009) is astonishing. J.J. Abrams staged it like a war film, and killing George Kirk was never in the original script. It was added late to emotionally anchor the entire reboot.

A 32 year old woman is dating a 19 year old boy. Both are above 18, so it’s their choice. However, just imagine the outrage if the genders were reversed. Feminist girls would be calling him a pedophile and abusing all men.

Alien (1979) was scripted to have a scene where the xenomorph was almost trapped by Ripley and Parker in the airlock of the ship’s “B” level. It escaped but lost a limb in the process, leading to its acidic blood causing critical decompression. Due to budget restrictions, the scene was not completed, but here is a partial moment of Lambert reacting to the situation, which was filmed before the decision was made to leave out the scene entirely.

This was one of the two commercials that led Steven Spielberg to have Williams’s studio do the animation for Roger Rabbit, the other being a Fanta ad with Mickey Mouse in which filters and lighting effects were added to make the animated characters match the live-action footage.
