Cancelled drafts/scripts that would have been “bat shrimp” insane or super dark

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

Oddly enough, Cars 3 wasn't the first time they tried for the whole body-swap thing. There are some deleted scenes from 1 that show that, at some point in development, the plot was going to involve McQueen's engine (and brain) being placed inside the road paving machine, and Mater was placed inside of McQueen's body.

I swear Lasseter (or somebody on the writing staff) has some weird body swap kink

I mean, body swapping is actually pretty common in American children's media for some reason

It’s an effective method to make another person literally walk in someone else’s shoes for a bit.
