Does anyone know if there is a way to access/read the original screenplay by Damian O'Donnell?
I absolutely love how Jennifer Lynch turned the story, but reading the original screenplay may answer some questions regarding the movie (especially about the ending).
At least till Mrs Lynch gets the chance to do a directors cut (which I really hope that there will be one)
The original screenplay O'Donnell wrote (before Lynch was brought on board) was, I understand, a totally different beast from what ended up on screen...much more classic torture porn stuff. I WOULD like to see the screenplay for what they filmed; I agree that it would certainly shed some light on parts of the movie, especially the end. I've read that Jake Weber had a ton of screen time that was cut out, and that apparently made the ending make a bit more sense.
