TOMORROWLAND Almost Had a Funny Samuel L. Jackson Post-Credits Scene
I know some of you probably haven’t seen Tomorrowland yet, but screenwriter Damon Lindelof revealed an idea he had for an amusing post-credits scene that never made it passed the pitch phase.
The scene has nothing to do with the movie’s story so there’s absolutely nothing here that will spoil it for you. The scene is completely random, it involved Samuel L. Jackson, and I can see why they didn’t roll with it. Here’s the pitch:
“My pitch was that there was going to be a post-credits scene in Tomorrowland and at the very end of the movie, if you watch the credits, there's a pin and you see someone picking it up. And the reveal would be that Sam Jackson, wearing an eye patch and holding a lightsaber and he looks sort of befuddled - maybe a Frozone uniform - and he goes 'I'm in this one too?' And bam, cut to black.”
The creative team got a good laugh at it, but in the end there was really no point in doing it. It would have been fun to see Jackson wearing a Frozone uniform while rocking his Nick Fury eye patch and holding a purple lightsaber.
It may not work for the film, but I can see a cosplayer taking on the challenge.
