The Film: We open in space, with a satellite detecting a heat bloom beneath Bouvet Island off the coast of Antarctica. Note: After an interview with Marc Cerasini shortly after the article’s initial publication, and the first script breakdown uncovered in 2020, the article has been revised to list more changes that have now been substantiated. Sources: AvP Novel by Marc Cerasini Script breakdown #1 from August 29th, 2003 AICN script review dated October 29th, 2003 September 26th 2003 draft by Paul WS Anderson Production Draft. Minor details are omitted the purpose here is to try to capture the broader strokes. This article compares the theatrically released film to earlier drafts of the story. But how many of these concepts were realised changed quite a lot on the way.
The heat bloom, the pyramid, the hunt, Lex and Scar are all present, as are most of the major cast in one way or another.
The overall plot of Paul WS Anderson’s AvP remained largely unchanged through the course of its journey from script to screen. Much has been written about various concepts that were abandoned for a big-screen adaptation of AvP. This article instead focuses specifically on Anderson’s project as it developed from R-rated globe-trotting epic to 90 minute PG-13 popcorn fest.
