Given today's graphic, it's probably obvious that today's quote -
Page 63/Scene 126 - Angelique: 'As I die, so shall all of you. For that will be my legacy --'
- is dropped in the film. And ever since reading the script I've found that bit of dialogue to be very interesting for two reason:
- In a bit of upcoming dialogue in this scene Strack refers to Angelique's "threats," yet we never hear her make any.
- And seemingly cursing everyone would certainly appear to add more evidence that Angelique really is a witch.
So why keep Strack's reference to the threats but drop the actual threat? I suppose only DC knows. But again, it might have been because DC wanted the "Is she or isn't she a witch?" question to be rather ambiguous. Who knows?
And of course, there's no way to know if anything about the quote might have been different in the film when it doesn't appear in the film.
But changing the subject entirely, I want to share an article from the NoDS Pressbook that relates to what we're covering in the script now. If you've never seen the article or read Lara Parker's comments elsewhere (they've been quoted in a few places), you'll probably enjoy them:
(And unfortunately none of the photos in the pressbook scan very well.
But that's probably related to the fact that they were designed to be printed in a newspaper or magazine and apparently the process for formatting photos that way doesn't play nicely with the way scanners work.)
And finally, one thing that I just realized while I was posting all this is that in the photo of Angelique's hanging in the Flip article Angelique's hands are not tied behind her like they are in the film. Not that that's an important realization, it's just interesting. Or at least to me it is.
Normally we see people with their hands tied before the noose is put around their necks and not afterward because tying their hands first prevents them from interfering with the placing of the noose. But then, who knows if that photo is from the preparation to shoot the scene or even a possible rehearsal...
