Disney's HOLES "R Rated" Cut We Almost Got (RebelTaxi)

[@artirony410]

I feel like making the kids hardened criminals where they murdered people and stuff misses the point of the book about the injustice of the juvenile prison system where the kids are punished harshly for minor offenses.

[@shawnfields2369]

EXACTLY, that's THE entire point of the kids being sent to Camp Green Lake; in THE FIRST place! Because the actual "counselors", aren't REAL counselors, THEY'RE the hardened criminals! And the Warden? She's not ACTUALLY a warden! And the fake counselors making the kids dig holes, was supposed to because the Warden and her 2 counselors were looking for something belonging to her great; great grandmother; Kissin' Kate, Barlow; or something like that. And Stanley mentions at the end of film, that the kids who got sent to the camp, got sent to an actual camp, at the end, and then, that's it. A great film, based on a great book, because the actual author was involved.

[@TaRAAASHBAGS]

[@shawnfields2369]

Weirdly enough, I was thinking the same thing...especially the slight "oh, no", you can hear from Zero. But I'm sure that insane script would've been like the live action Scooby-Doo movie (from 2002) insanely bad, but funny bad but still an insane mess of a script, and nowhere near as good as 2003 film, OR the book, both of which(I thoroughly enjoyed at the time). It's too bad Shia Lebouf himself hasn't aged well, at all, really. A shame, for him at least.

There was a part where the oldest sister talked about how her youngest brother was running across the beach naked, she described it and I quote, "his cute pen*s bobbed up and down as he ran." I felt awkward when we got to that line, and I still don't know what the author was trying to convey here.

[@yatakaga]

Honestly this script sounds kind of like a creepypasta to me, Insane that its so different from the original story.

[@shawnfields2369]

I agree, but while this vastly different version of "Holes", does sound insane, I can't belive THIS future war story was almost the actual version we got, because there's ZERO way, I guarantee you, there's NO WAY it would've been as good as either the book/movie "Holes", we actually DID get, because the film was accurate to the book, and if we got this confusing, horror movie fanfic of "Holes", there's no way anyone would want to see or remember being 20 years old. I remember getting "Holes", on DVD, when I was a kid; because I loved the book, and wanted to see if the film was as good as the book. And it was(and Shia Lebouf wasn't half bad in the movie, at the time, but now?) Yeah, I don't know... I can't believe we almost got a creepy version of this movie, but I do remember that while this script sounds like a creepypasta, it's a real thing, that was ACTUALLY pitched to the author of "Holes", himself, Louis Sachar, and I'm pretty sure he either rejected it, or thought it was a joke. I also remember that this film was promoted on Nickelodeon at some point(although I'm sure somebody else has already said it before me), but yeah, like RebelTaxi said: "l love the Disney version of "Holes", and wouldn't change a thing". Yeah, because it works as a book to film adaption, and the only time I actually wanted to read the book in school. I wanted to buy it from the book fair, but I didn't have any money; so I just asked my parents for the movie on DVD. Unfortunately, the film broke about a year later. Guess the curse of Stanley Yelnats IS real; after all...

[@heffelumpphotoco]

The part with X-Ray’s death and how he sees through time and space actually sounds like it could have been really beautiful and haunting, in a better movie.

This kinda reminds me of when the live-action Scooby Doo movie was going to be PG-13 but the first rating they got from the Motion Picture Association of America was an R rating. So they had to change a bunch of stuff to make it PG.

[@IYamJayJay]

Thats very different. The movie was already filmed. This is an adaptation that never got made.

[@AverageInternetButterfly]

​@@IYamJayJay Not to mention way more extreme with its story. The Scooby Doo one initially had more crass humor and foul language. Holes was going to take place during a fucking nuclear war

[@kh3sora]

This does reminds me of the black cauldron original cut was givin and was rated originally as PG-13 or possibly a even r rated film and it was darker what I heard on KZbin but was edit and cut some scenes and got a PG rated instead and became the first Disney film to have a PG rating.

[@johnniewolf133]

​@@AverageInternetButterflyThe Scooby Doo one had drugs and sex (like there was an actual sex scene written into it.) Outside of the more overt swearing, fouler humour, sex, drug references and more darker horror elements that got cut out (quick shout out to that deleted Velma scene that's out there as probably one example) it was going to be a more adult oriented story and dissection of Scooby Doo and its characters. Fred was apparently also going to be an irredeemable prick who had abusive elements and even by the end of the film wouldn't have been redeemed. What it was cut down into makes the weirder aspects of that film make a lot more sense honestly given I had always found some of the choices of the film to be peculiar but knowing it was originally filmed as an adult film makes the small slivers of what was that slipped through into the final cut more fascinating to me. The entire Luna Ghost opening is the only scene to not have been edited or cut down in some way.

Yeah, I agree, if they'd just called something other than "Holes", the guy could've gotten his weird; edgy script, and Louis Sachar could've gotten his accurate adaptation of "Holes"; WITHOUT having to be personally involved with the film's production to make sure the film and book were both accurate to each other. And the 2003 Disney version of "Holes", was great. I also can't believe it's been 20 years since the film came out in theaters; because I missed it; when it came out; and had to see it on both DVD and the Disney Channel.

Still, how DO you carry a Slurpee Machine ALL the way to a roof; and then; just somehow throw it off?! Does X-Ray also have super-strength; as well as X-Ray vision(which I'm sure he still mentions having in the actual movie, being able to see through things or something like that?) But how does someone steal slurpee machine, even if it is a smaller one? But nope, I'm sure X-Ray mentions throwing a HUGE machine off of a rooftop, being caught by the cops, and sent to the prison camp, Camp Green Lake(which ironically, has NO lake whatsoever), and the curse of Stanley's family; is said to be real, but it was actually his grandfather, because he didn't sing a song or something, and forgot to, so Zero's great-great-great Grandmother(Madame Zaroni), cursed Stanley's family, which is creepy because the actress who played Madame Zaroni, died the same year as the film adaptation got released to theaters, which is why you don't see her as often in the film. Also, why did X-Ray steal a slurpee machine in the first place? Was he bored one day? Or something?

Richard Kelley's holes can be summed up in one word *GRIMDARK*

[@ViewbobTrue]

I doubt this was ever actually meant to be made. It's pretty common practice for up and coming screenwriters to write "on-spec" or speculative scripts that they send to production companies, not intending to be made into movies, but rather just to flex their writing chops. These speculative scripts tend to be as off-the-wall as possible, more interested in communicating the writer's creativity, dialogue, and tonal ability. The excellent 1999 film Being John Malkovich was originally written this way, fleshed-out into a full movie when Spike Jonze fell in love with it. Spec scripts rarely have any actual filming directions in them, as they're solely focused on the story. Considering this script's thematic similarities to Kelly's later work, and its lack of any camera or set direction, I'm willing to bet this was the case!

Although, I am curious about this version of the film being made in an alternative universe and it's somewhat a cult classic, replacing Donnie Darko.

5:55 I feel like this kind of absurd writing can only be described with a Futurama skit

[@dr.flipside7035]

The amount of effort you put into visualizing this script is amazing. This was a great vid.

Real surprised he didn’t take the opportunity to make the end card “I await your holes”

[@standup109]

That ending.. wtf??? Like… beyond anticlimactic

[@elinormedia3168]

They unintentionally made Fallout movie

After hearing this script, I believe that this Oompaville quote encapsulates my reaction. To quote him, “WHAT THE $&@# IS THIS?!”

I haven’t even watched the video but Pan’s videos are always 100% straight up fire. So I’m excited

[@PixelOverload]

Damn, this plot's full of more holes than that desert, how are all these bodies buried already, how is a whole damn parking lot buried like that, how is the dirt they're digging through not massively irradiated? This can't be more than a few years after the blast if Stanley's still a kid. And wtf even happened at the end?

Been awhile since the last Midnight Society update, thank you sir.

Such a great video! Using the rattlesnake bite reaction again made me laugh out loud. Love your content

[@TheBonkleFox]

I swear to god this reminds me of those over the top diary of a wimpy kid fanfictions.

I'm glad you made this because I remember reading the script when it leaked and then telling my sisters about it after we watched Holes while sick with covid in January and they weren't convinced I didn't just make it up. Now I can just show them this and tell them, "Told ya so."

Man, that was a crazy ride. Besides being super-sharp edge-lord material there is definitely a interesting plot between the nukes, the mysterious weapons, and the ending. It could be a actually really interesting take if maybe there was more focus on following the book plus adding maybe more sci-fi? Like have the old west come back in with them finding a crashed ufo or something futuristic and have it mesh more in with the modern day plot. I don't know at the very least I was intrigued and flabbergasted so that's something I guess.

They already named the weird food thing splooge so I guess some stuff is left over

Holes was that one movie in school that every teacher just played for a movie day or during one of the last days of the year. Didn't matter what class, what campus, or what grade, you were gonna watch Holes at some point. So to hear that the writer of Donnie Darko, one of my favorite movies of all time, wrote a wacked out violent script for a radically different adaptation, is insanely cool. I kinda hope it gets made some day, or the script is at least adapted into a novel.

If the multiverse exists, there is a world where we got this script instead of what we got. Is it a good or bad world? I dunno.

[@Jtplaysgames21]

No wonder Lewis stepped in.

[@Biotear]

Wait... blonde, blue eyes, blue jumpsuit, nukes, desert... OH GOD THIS IS JUST SOME DUDE'S FALLOUT HOLES CROSSOVER FANFIC WHY?!
