I'll have to check it out, I'm reading Megamind and I didn't realize how much changed lol.
Paris, Texas written by L.M. Kit Carson, based on a novel or short by Sam Shephard. Wim Wenders directed the film and the script was boring but somehow that interesting at the same time that I finished it - read it all. The film I watched much later and found it completely different and for my taste worse than the script. So, I didn't watch it completely.
Filmmaking is an evolution. Virtually all films will differ from the screenplay - sometimes for better, often for worse.

Yeah Elisabeth there's a few scripts I stopped reading after page 5 because it didn't keep my attention lol. I agree Shaun, I just find it funny how some scripts will be set for one audience and when it's made they target another audience lol
though creative, screenwriting is a mechanical and tedious process...its more or less a purification process from script to screen
Whiplash changed a bunch.
Compare the original Jon Spaihts draft of PROMETHEUS to the Damon Lindelof draft they shot: completely different (and the Spaihts draft would have been a great film, unlike the Lindelof draft). Compare the 3000 script to PRETTY WOMAN, wildly different! Scripts go through a huge meatgrinder where everything changes, often on a whim.
