A report online claims to have the early word on the screenplay for the film adaptation of the PS2 videogame God of War.
CC2K claims to have seen an early draft of the script by David Self (Road to Perdition) and says that "everything about God of War is like Clash of the Titans, only taken to the extreme and amped up to satisfy the 21st century sensibilities of males aged 15-25."
The site says Self's script "has stayed true (almost slavishly so) to the game's plot." Although most of the changes are relatively cosmetic -- satyrs and cyclops are now far taller than they're portrayed in the game -- they claim there has been one "significant" alteration made to the source material that may rankle some fans of the game.
SPOILER WARNING:
x CC2K claims the end of this draft differs from that of the game, with the script ending on an "unresolved" note. "Instead of being offered (and accepting) the Godhood of War after he attempts suicide as he does in the game, in the script Kratos is offered the godhood, rejects it, and casts himself off the cliffs," the site reports. Just as Kratos is about to die, the script supposedly has him say, "Your turn, Hades...", before it cuts to black. No intervention by Athena, no trip to Mount Olympus, and no Blades of Athena. x
