^ FH didn't they take some aspects of Goyer's script or is it 100% MSJ's? I thought I heard Goyer had a little bit in on this one.
I remember reading an interview with Goyer in which he was pissed that GR was not getting a Hard R rating and wasnt all too happy that it was going PG 13 and the entire story was taken out.
Only elements of the movie made it in the movie:
GR getting rammed by a truck
Jailhouse scene
Southwest Vibe
Attacks on GR would manifest on the host after he transformed back
Blue Flames to show somber emotions
I'm sure there were some more elements in there, but I dont remember which ones. In Goyer's script, he killed almost all the baddies, burned them to a crisp. His hands were also so hot that when he was hit by the truck, he ripped the trucks front to pieces to get to the driver, after which he charred one of them.
His version of the penance stare was different also. When he gave it to a baddie, they would both see the sins, and would both scream together and it showed how GR is cursed to feel their pain as well.
GR never really talked either in his script, and was not just a monster, but a horrific force of nature that had no humor in it at all.
