Wow nice find!! Bruce & Carol Anne in the kitchen... I just love that pic!! ^_^ :wub:

[LiveWire]

Cool find! Thanks for finding and sharing this. Most of us probably didn't realize they even existed.

I love the photos of her with Tom Skerrit, and the crew photo where she's next to Zelda and the rest of the crew. It's strange-yet in a good way-that even after all these years we're still discovering rare stories/photos from time to time.

Wow!!! Thanks for sharing! Very nice pictures! Nice to see some new ones. http://heatherorourke.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

Oops i meant Gorezone :P
sorry :lol:

[Fox]

WOW this is a super great find!!!! this really PROVES that there is an original ending to the film and that Heather DID finish the film and was in the ending, omg i love those ending pics with Heather and the cast, she looks so happy!! and the ending looks so much sweeter and warmer with her in it and the rest of the cast all together. Heather is so cute!!! it makes me smile a little girl had so much fun on the movie...

'dfurtney' (David) are you thinking of publishing these photos like in Gorezone magazine and those other magazines?? you so should and then the publicity of the original ending will be shown in those photos and maybe then they will finally release a SE DVD of P3 with the original ending which everybody has been dying for to see. I believe you you did that we might have a good change in a SE DVD. Are you thinking of doing that David!!! sorry for asking too many questions i am just so excited for what might be coming up, this is big news. If you do publish them in a magazine like Gorezone please let us all know!!

i love that cast/crew photo Heather is the one on the right and that other girl must be her double when she couldn't attend the scenes...

After seeing those pics of the original ending and those deleted scenes from the film it gives hope now that there will really be a SE DVD with all the scenes and the original ending....

please keep us updated what you will do now like publishing them????
:D

WOW these pictures really are amazine. Especially the group shot the two Carol Anne really look a like a lot. I couldn't tell which one was Heather. Thank so much for posting these.



Peace,
Laura

Heather did finnish the film! ^_^ Why do the cast and crew say that she didn't? Aw. I mean, Heather said she hoped people enjoyed what she did, so wouldn't she wanted that we would be able to see it.

i can t figure out why gary sherman lied bout the original ending,heather grew very close to him during filming, it feels like he betrayed heather :(

I don't think that he betrayed her. Whatever happened I'm sure he had his reasons.

ON the E! Special, he spoke the most about Heather (except for her mom Kathleen), so I don't think he'd betray her, esp being that they were pals.

[Fox]

The reason why the original ending was not shown was because of Heather's death and a child's death is tragic so Gary Sherman had his reasons to redone the ending. The original ending with Heather and all the cast it just seems so much warmer and if they are going bring out a SE dvd with the original ending it would be like 21 years and no one has ever seen it until now and it feels sad at the same time that those were her last scenes. I believe if David does publish them in Gorezone Magazine and make a article it will get really much attention and maybe then MGM will see them as prove that their is really an original ending and they will have a reason to look for the footage and make a SE DVD out of it and they would not be wasting their time and money looking through those boxes to see it if there really is a original ending and deleted scenes or not, they have all the reasons to do it now!!! i so hope that 'dfurtney' does publish them!!!

ahh okies no worries ^_^
sorry bout that LiveWire :(

[Jessica]

Well, even though the original ending was her last scenes that weren't showed, her last scenes was when she's at the window in the end. I would like to see the original ending cause it seem like a nicer ending for some reason, though it was her last scene.

[Suaviterinmodo]

There's no doubt about it now. There was an original ending and I'm guessing there were multiple reasons why Gary Sherman lied about never shooting the ending.

No need to apologize; nothing wrong with speaking your mind. Besides, I don't know anymore about what really happened with the Poltergeist 3 ending than anyone else.

You're right, because-as it stands-her last scene is her yelling "Go away!" :(

[tlm1975]

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
That about sums it up. I can't believe we FINALLY see a "FROZEN CAROL ANNE"

Hi, here is my theory about Gary Sherman. He loved Heather very much, obviously, and after she passed away, i think that he decided that a frozen, corpse-like Carol Anne was in very bad taste and would make people uncomfortable, especially her family. So he gathered the crew back together (minus "scott" as i read once that Kip refused to return to the set after Heather's death) and shot a quick, different ending without Heather altogether.

[mIsS_hAyLeY_jAnE]

i did get a bit carried away tho, i think it was excitement over the new P3 original ending info :P
tlm1975, your theory is spot on ^_^

[dfurtney]

Tim,

I think your theory is partly correct. However, this is what I think is more likely:

1. After the completed film was rated PG in November 1987, the studio decided to re-shoot at least part of the ending to make it more intense, in the hopes of getting a new rating of PG-13.

2. Planning for this re-shoot was going on between December 1987 and January 1988, with new SFX makeups being worked on (Kane's demise)

3. The re-shoot was probably scheduled for early February, but then Heather died February 1st.

4. After putting things on hold for a while, MGM decided to go ahead with the re-shoot (which took place the week of March 14, 1988), but this time they made some more changes by redoing the entire ending. They removed the frozen Carol Anne (likely for the reason Tim named above), and also left Scott out on purpose (Kipley Wentz has said no one ever asked him to be in the re-shoot, and he only learned there had been a re-shoot of the ending at the movie's premiere). "Scott" was likely left out because the studio felt that audiences might be confused over which was the "real" Scott (it was probably decided to make the Scott who comes up out of the pool be the real one, even though that still didn't make sense).

5. Also, there was a Writer's Guild strike going on, which began March 7, 1988. That meant that members of the Writer's Guild (Gary Sherman?) were not allowed to write anything while the strike was going on. However, the pages of the re-shot ending had a date of "Revised March 14, 1988" stamped on each page. Were WGA guild rules broken? Maybe. And perhaps that's (one) of the reasons why Gary still doesn't want to talk about it.
