George Romero's original Day of the Dead script (included on the Day of the Dead (1985) special edition DVD) is hugely interesting, not as gritty or bleak as what we got, but much higher concept and even more gruesome.
There are several old versions of the Blade Runner script that are a sight to see (including a very early one that has a much more generic ending).

I've read Quentin Tarantino's Silver Surfer script is a masterpiece of unused scripts.
I've also read that William Gibson and Eric Red's scripts for Alien 3 are worth reading.
More Buscemi at http://forum.reelsociety.com/I have only read about it but from according to people who have come across it, it is excellent.
One of the problems in posting it online is the fact that Tarantino wrote it entirely in longhand. It also runs 500 pages.
More Buscemi at http://forum.reelsociety.com/The unused scripts for Purple Rain and Under the Cherry Moon, every script for a Doctor Who film, the original The Matrix script and the unused scripts for Kickassia and Suburban Knights.
And a million fanfics were written...the original The Matrix script
Gizmo, you don't have the hardware to handle this software.
Pages Needing ImagesEllison's I Robot script is great, and has basically nothing to do with the movie. I have to make a page on it at some point.

is a legendary cautionary tale—the script was awesome, but the director decided to tinker with it and created an utterly forgettable film

Respect the Red Right Hand
I really wanna see Peter Jackson's Nightmare On Elm Street script. I thought it looked freaking awesome and the concept was excellent.

Oh? The story they gave (with board sketches) on Never Sleep Again had to do with a cop in a coma, stuck in the dream-world with Freddy...
There was a Batman film pitched in the early 80's and the script for it was apparently on-line once, but all I've ever found is a broken link to it. Its weakness, apparently, was that it tried to do too much in one film. It had a 13 year old Robin in it, too; kinda would have liked to see that script.
I read the Warchowski's script for Plastic Man; you have to work hard to suck the fun out of Plastic Man, but they manage it...
Who Shot Roger Rabbit(working title for Roger) had things that made the Animation Age Ghetto put to shame. Despite enjoying it, I wish that they kept that wolf scene for the film.
Being a fan of Plasticman, I'm just going to say I thank the lord that the movie never happened from the matrix creators.

I like to see scripts that were not used in the final movie. Here are a few examples:
I have seen these scripts and I would like to see more but most of the scripts I see online are from the final product. Does anyone have any recommendations for What Could Have Been scripts?
