It is requested that a photograph or photographs of Screenshots from some deleted scenes. For instance, some of Serenity's and Pirates of the Caribbean's deleted scenes had unfinished special effects, Finding Nemo's were sketches with audio playing over them, etc. Also, I'd like to request a screen cap from one of the "Really Deleted Scenes" from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy DVD for placement in the "Parody" section where they're mentioned be included in this article to improve its quality.

The Free Image Search Tool (FIST) may be able to locate suitable images on Flickr and other web sites.

[edit] Alternate Endings

Aren't alternate endings a kind of deleted scene? Should they be included here, or in a separate article? There isn't anything right now. Ace of Sevens

I would say that if there's enough material to have its own article, alternate ending should have its own article - but also have a reference here, as "alternate scenes" are sometimes counted as "deleted scenes" (and if you go by the literal meaning of "deleted scene", they are), and obviously, an alternate ending is comprised of one or more alternate scenes.

There might actually be an article in that; you would have to detail the history of the concept, including when, how, and by whom the first known alternate ending for a film was released (in either partially or fully completed film format, or as a script, or both, since I'm sure some alternate endings in film were known about, but never filmed), as well as mentions of a few other films since then that had known alternate endings (especially ones known to have had alternate endings filmed, not just written), and perhaps a brief bit on the current state of alternate scenes, including such things as how alternate endings are sometimes featured as DVD extras now in either filmed or textual format (and how they're used as a marketing tool for the DVDs). Didn't 28 Days Later have an alternate ending available on the DVD? I know at least one horror film has, because I remember seeing ads for something like that that mentioned it...

I started the alternate ending page (after reworking the multiple endings page). Feel free to add the historical stuff as you can find it. Adam 16:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Fantastic! :D Thanks for all of your hard work (especially since it makes it feel even more like a proper Wikipedia page, to have some "See Also"s, heh)! I'm going to be hunting up the historical stuff in coming weeks and such. First, though, I'm gonna see if I can find a film/TV Wikiproject that may be able to help out as well. :) Runa27 02:58, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Harry Potter, Firefly, Serenity overkill

Though technically not breaking any rules, these three texts seem to be kind of excessively used as reference points. Perhaps more famous deleted scenes should be used, rather than what was on the desk of the last editor? --86.20.157.172 15:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] individual Deleted Scenes

Except for alternate endings, there is almost no information at all about individual deleted scenes anywhere on the internet. There are plenty of DVD review sites stating how many deleted scenes there are on a certain DVD but no descriptions of the scenes themselves. There are some exceptions of course; Memory Alpha, Wookieepedia and Battlestar Wiki all have a list of deleted scenes article. I plan on adding deleted scenes information to the article of every movie and TV series that has deleted scenes. Is anyone with me? 218.215.144.146 (talk) 09:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
