Description

Personal project - illustrating Fourth draft of The Terminator. The script went through a few rewrites, this being one of the earliest. I was also intrigued by the original idea of casting Lance Henriksen as the titular cyborg. Hope you like, more to come!
The entire draft can be found here:

75 INT. BEDROOM 75 MEDIUM ON MATT, as rustling curtains play patterns of street- light over his sleeping face. The sound of a faint breeze. In the B.G. is the balcony, empty. The sliding door is open. TIGHT ON MATT, as his eyes open at the sound of a quiet, repeated CLICKING. UP ANGLE - PAST MATT, as the five-inch blade of an industrial razor-knife reaches full extension in Terminator's hand, right above him. It slashes viciously downward. Matt rolls and the pillow is SLIT OPEN where his throat had been. MATT Whoah! Terminator catches him by the hair and slashed down again. Matt grabs the wrist in both hands. The enormous muscles of his arms, which seem capable of bench pressing a Chrysler, strain and knot against the pressure of the killer's single arm... And still the blade moves closer to his throat.
