P&W TWINE first script draft

PropertyOfALady

I've heard some pretty horrendous things. Just how bad is it?

All I know is the pre-credit sequence was set in Cuba.

Getafix

Do they ever make these drafts available to read?

Bond uses a jetpack instead of the Q Boat

There was an overt YOLT reference made by M to villains hiding in volcanoes if I recall - not sure what draft that was though.

Renard has a hawk that rips people's eyes out.

Lovely stuff.

Not very Bond-like is it?

More Kes-like. :))

That was a deleted scene. You can still see it on the dvd or blu-ray if you own it.

I seem to recall that one can see this scene on you tube. Actually I think it's a very funny tongue in cheek style line.

Isn't the script for this quite rare? It's weird how it seems not many people know about it. You'd think someone would know more, but information is very sketchy. Anyone have it?

There is a draft of TWINE that should be pretty easy to find online that has some scenes not in the film. I've read it a couple times. I remember Zukovsky's casino sort of doubles as a brothel and Renard drops in on Davidov with a prostitute rather than the Devil's Breath scene. Nothing about a pet hawk though and Bond still uses the Q-Boat on the Thames.

To give you an idea, it took a former member 14 years to get one. Oh, well.

That line originally appeared in a Tomorrow Never Dies draft. It ends up being used in TND's novelization. It didn't make the cut for the movie. It got put into TWINE's script again and got filmed (my guess is by Bruce Feirstein, who did the final rewrite). But again, it didn't make the final movie.

Bruce Feirstein's first draft for Tomorrow Never Dies:

The line:

Contrary to what you may believe,
007, the world is not filled with
mad-men who can hollow out volcanoes,
stock them with big-breasted women,
and threaten the world with nuclear
annihilation.

That's hilarious. :))

Some might say it was a tad daft - I'm glad that it was cut!
