In the original script, he's the starring role, or at the ''least'' the male lead of the film, and in the re-written script, [[spoiler: He's a DecoyProtagonist that dies before the end. The only benefit, if you can call it that, is that the character is given AdaptationalHeroism, as he's revealed as a killer in the original script.]]

** The crew stumbles on the ship themselves, and are very confused when told by the Coast Guard the ship is reported sunk. Initially, they just plan on towing the ship and selling the ship itself for scrap, then they find gold ingots in the hold, which they estimate is around $50 million worth.
** Greedy for the gold, Dodge sinks the tug, stranding them on the Chimera. He's suspected of sabotage, but never caught.
** Greer has two seizure episodes, one that leaves him unconscious for a day. He's one that snaps and is locked in the large aquarium.
** Both Dodge and Greer survive most of the film before Dodge is killed, and then Greer with a shotgun blast from the shotgun kept by the crew. Since Epps sees a figure, initially, the deaths are blamed on other, unseen salvagers.
** Epps is shown that members of the crew became mutineers, killing passengers and crew in gold fever. The captain is killed off-screen. As mentioned elsewhere, Katie's horrible fate is far more graphic than depicted in the film, and she's eventually killed by a mutineer with an axe. We also see her family, and her mother and sister are seen dead before she is killed.
** Murphy was the main killer, butdied when he tried also highlights to escape with Epps the fact that Dodge and Greer also had murderous agendas to keep the gold after the for themselves. The ship ran runs aground near some islands.islands, and Murphy and Epps prepare to abandon ship. When Epps finds the shotgun in Murphy's possession, he reveals his actions, then he tells Epps that now she knows what he's done, he has to kill her too.
** The ending is vastly different. Murphy stalks Epps into the bowels of the ship. The hull gets ruptured and starts sinking. Epps gets trapped when a boiler becomes unseated. Epps sees a bunch of bodies of dead passengers, and then Katie's spirit arrives to give Epps her hand and lead her out of the ship through a hole in the hull, then remains behind. Murphy abandons his efforts to kill Epps, and loads his pockets with gold ingots. He manages to make it off the ship, but finds himself being pulled in an onrush of water flowing into the ship's smokestack as it sinks. The weight of the gold in his pockets prevents him from swimming clear, and he's sucked into the smokestack and into the bowels of the ship, where he dies. We then see the Chimera sinking underwater for a brief period...Before the whole ship just disappears, leaving empty ocean below. Epps makes it to one of the islands. A Coast Guard helicopter spots her and drops a survival pack, indicating she'll be picked up and survive.
