I was just searching on the net for scripts when I found the script for 'The Woods' with the truck driver ending. I love that ending, it's much more open, more mystery!
It would have raised much more questions to the story than The Village does now. There are only two questions left right now: will Lucious make it? and will the Ranger even enter the woods to find what's inside of it? While the orignal ending would have made you ask the question 'Oh, what did I just see?', just like it did with The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
Only thing I dislike about the script is the first scene where the gravestone actually reads "Died October 3, 1897". Is that in the movie too? Because I wouldn't have showned it, this is a direct lie 'cause it's not 1897, it's 2004. I mean, everything in the movie makes the viewer believe the things are different than they are, but M. Night never lied.
