I turned Kraken off halfway through.
They kept some of the themes and scenes I wrote but eliminated most. In my draft the squid lived near a freak wave spot off the coast of Gibralter. The combo of the huge repeating wave and the squid was the real life insiration for the legend of Scilla & Charibdis. The whole story was supppoes tyo take place where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic.
The spot was a nautical graveyard, where a Nazi sub lay beside a Phonecian ship and various watercraft throughout the ages.
In my draft, the heroine gets her eye poked out by the bad guy(not Maxwell Odemus?) - in her fianal scene she had an eyepatch, sexy.
Also our climax involved the Squid fighting a Sperm Whale (staight out of old sailor's lore) and our heroes trapped in a seacave with a rising tide and surrounded by a hundred very hungry little baby squids.
Didn't watch the end, but I'm guessing that wasn't in it.
Really embarassing :o
I didn't think they were going to put my name on it.
can't wait for DAMNED to start shooting so I can put this SciFi shit behind me!
