Well, that is not exactly accurate...
They did have a story that played out well and had all the right ducks in a row. This was all brought to ruin in editing.
Pure and simple.
They have enough film left, still unseen, for nearly another entire flick (mores the pity…)
Will they use all these lovely little things for future use? Hmmmmm... Could be. Could be not. And don’t ask me if it’s going to make it to the DVD. They have so much *Special* stuff for the DVD I have my doubts. Maybe… one day they will do a Lord of the Rings style set. Not a bad idea.
I've read the versions of the scripts and are there holes?? Hell YES! But not the mammoth ones that have tongues wagging and blaming T&T for bad story telling.
Who do I feel the worst for? Norrington. He had a terrific story in this third filmed and filmed it to. And there it lay’s on the cutting room floor and him reduced to little more then a *Here I am, Oops! I’m Dead!* participation.
That was a really sad loss to lose that storyline.
