The original Leon script and it's differences...
I read the original script for Leon and man, is it different. The second half is MUCH more violent. Personally, I think the way it turned out is WAY better than the ending in the original script.
Among the differences...

If those are accurate, I actually would like to see that version...especially with that different ending. With the exception of course, the statutory boning.

Yeah, them kissing would be a bit TOO MUCH, I'll pass on the pedophilia.
Anyway, rest of it sounds interesting, to say the least. Not as good, but interesting. If they actually killed people in the rooftop part, that would force us to dislike them...they never kill innocent people in the final version. And I also loved the ironic comedy of the paintball.

Yeah that sex scene would have totally thrown the movie off. I never got the impression that he was interested in her that way. He always seemed like a father rather than a lover. Thanks for posting this though since I love that movie.

Portman: "I met the casting director, and he said I was too young. I didn't even read for him. He just said. 'You're too young' and he sent me away. Then two weeks later, he called me back and said they're looking for younger kids than they'd been looking at."
It would seem that they changed the age of the character during that time which would require changes in the script as Natalie Portman was only 12 at the time.
