| First Draft
May 4, 1984 Clue Screenplay By Jonathan Lynn Story By John Landis And Jonathan Lynn |
| Cover Page Sample |
| This is the rare first draft script that is hard to come by these days. This large and bulky script contains many scenes and joke that never made it to the movie, including the fourth ending.The fourth (peacock/plum... wadsworth) ending is much more believable than later drafts. Here, he admits he wants to continue blackmailing them all - taking over Boddy's business. The cops arrive and she says that there is no proof to link him to the murders, but the cops see the reel to reel tape recorder still recording - preserving his previous confession. The movie in the script was originally supposed to take place in Florida rather than New England.This script is a little bit darker than the actual movie. There some profanity it in and the Peacock ending is more violent with the evangelist shooting her then after saying a line he fires another shot at her. There is a memo on the second page to look at the Clue Game board so the reader can "visualize" the story. Wadsworth is credited as a plumpy butler. He is also a bit more dark in this script than in the actual movie. He even has a few curse words in the script, once during the shower scene. And the singing telegram has a larger role with a few speaking lines. She was actually scripted to drive up to the hill house and try to talk to the guard(whose really a fake dummy) and tell him she had a message. A very fasinating piece of Clue Memorabilia. |
| The script is 128 pages in length and includes all four endings, and gives a fasinating look inside the foundation for the movie. |
