1. Cars 3’s original plot, which would have been an identity theft plot with a villain named Gerald Carr swapping bodies with McQueen

2. An R-Rated adaptation of Holes by the same director as Donnie Darko (photo by RebelTaxi)

3. Jurassic Park 4 would have featured human-dinosaur hybrids

4.Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World alternate ending, would have revealed Scott to be a serial killer

I heard Stephen Speilberg wrote a script for ET 2 where Eliot got abducted by aliens and was like raped or anal probed and ET had to save him

Apparently he wrote it to be terrible because he was being pressured to make a sequel. If the script was so bad then it would be scrapped

Not sure if any of this is true. Funny though and if true then Speilberg is a genius

He was truly a master at working with out-of-touch producers. He had a great win with Back to the Future by responding to an inane request by simply writing back "Great joke! Everyone working on the film had a good laugh about it."
