The Cloverfield Ending That Went Too Far For Theaters

The DVD of January's monster-smashes-NYC movie Cloverfield came out yesterday, and it includes two alternate endings of the movie, along with some deleted scenes. Here's one of the alternate endings, courtesy of Yahoo movies, including a new Coney Island scene. It's not that different, but it's worth watching to appreciate how much restraint the final edit of Cloverfield shows, since this version seems to spell things out a bit more, and is a maybe bit more over-the-top than the theatrical version. The other deleted ending includes guys digging out the camera from the rubble. [Yahoo movies, via Sliceofscifi]

The I Am Legend You Didn't Get To See

We've been curious to see the original ending of Will Smith's I Am Legend ever since we heard it was reshot last fall, and the sickly-sweet ending we saw in theaters only made us more curious. Now at last, the secret original ending turned up online a few days ago, thanks to the impending March 18 release of the Legend on DVD. Sadly, it's not much better than the theatrical version — but at least it doesn't suddenly turn into M. Night Shyamalan's Village. Which version do you prefer?

Latest by verbal007: Better: Great movie that just is NOT the same without the ORIGINAL ending. Luckily for me, I heard that the movie was weak and from what I had heard, it sounded as if was mainly due to the ending. more »
