10 Movie Endings You Can No Longer See
7. Event Horizon
Event Horizon tells the story of a space anomaly that defies reality; showing unlucky bystanders their greatest fears and possessing them in order to pull passing ships into its grasp. After absolutely flopping upon release, the film's unexpected surge of DVD sales caught the attention of both director Paul W.S. Anderson and Paramount Pictures. Hoping to capitalise, Anderson agreed to put together a director’s cut.
The film’s final moments see a fight between Miller and a resurrected Dr Weir, possessed by the now sentiment Event Horizon ship. This was not the only proposed ending however and one, which involved Miller facing off with a burning man he sees in his dreams, had tested negatively in front of audiences and went unused.
However, the director’s cut DVD never materialised and thus neither did this scene.
Asked what became of the project in the ensuing years, Anderson said that it would “never” release due to the sheer fact "most of it doesn't exist anymore". In 2012 a VHS tape from the shooting of the movie was found that gave its cult audience hope… but even today Anderson says that the project is indefinitely scrapped.
We can only assume that this mysterious VHS, presumably tucked away in Anderson’s private library, has the secrets that Event Horizon fans seek and an alternate ending we’ll quite likely never see.
