“I went into one of the executive’s offices and I saw an ‘X3’ script, and I immediately knew it was a lot fatter,” Vaughn said. “I was like, ‘What the hell is this draft?’ He went, ‘Don’t worry about it,’ and I’m like, ‘No, no. I’m the director. I’m worrying about this draft.’ He wouldn’t tell me, so I grabbed it literally — it was like a crazy moment — opened the first page, and it said, ‘Africa. Storm. Kids dying of no water. She creates a thunderstorm and saves all these children.'”
Vaughn continued, “[I said] ‘What is this?’ [They said] ‘Oh, it’s Halle Berry’s script.’ I went, ‘OK, because she hasn’t signed up yet.’ ‘But this is what she wants it to be, and once she signs up, we’ll throw it in the bin.'”
Now I’m wondering if they actually did that to her.
Well, they did cut all her prior lines that made the frogs and lightening joke work so I wouldn’t be surprised.
That line has caused me physical agony. Thank you for telling me there’s more.
Do we know what those lines were?
It is my understanding that they were lost during the rewriting/filming process and I haven’t seen the actual lines.
What’s to wonder? We have a credible source. Is there anyone credibly denying it?
We have a source that it was planned, but not a source that it happened.
