Frozen had a darker ending in the original script

April 3rd, 2017 by Marc Comments

An early version of Frozen had a different and darker ending than the one we eventually saw on screen.

In an interview with The Nerdist, producer Peter Vel Decho revealed that an earlier version of the film did not have Anna and Elsa as sisters and that the latter even went crazy evil after being jilted at the altar.

Vel Decho also confirmed that Elsa did not have any redemptive moments throughout the script until the very end when she had a sudden change of heart and saved everyone from a destructive avalanche that was set off by Hans.

With even the screenwriters not believing that twist, it led Disney to reevaluate the characters’ relationships and that led to the film we eventually saw on the big screen.

Meanwhile, Del Vecho confirmed that a sequel was currently in the works.

Speaking to The EW, he said the original Disney team were “working hard on it“.

We’re in the development writing process and are very excited by it. Like all movies, it will evolve,” he continued.

Now that we’ve been involved in it for awhile, what’s exciting is it feels like it builds on the first movie. You understand things better in the first movie after you’ve seen the sequel.”

Frozen 2 has no release date yet but is expected to arrive sometime after 2019. Kristen Bell (Anna) and Idina Menzel (Elsa) are expected to return along with Josh Gad (Olaf).

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
