Island of Dr. Moreau - a few of Brando's notes

I've discovered the 2nd draft of Marlon Brando's personal script for "The Island of Dr. Moreau on an auction website. The buyer will of course get the full joys of Brando's undoubtedly psychadelic insights - but heck, we can at least partake of the few freely available jpegs.

The 1996 version of The Island of Dr. Moreau was a troubled production - and that's what it'll probably be rememered for. Well, that and Brando's interesting acting and outfit choices ... The few notes below, written by Brando in red ink, are from the 1994 draft.

On Reddit, a few voices came together around this content - interesting read since some of the commenters were connected with the production > read the comments here

On the front it says the following: "Dio -- By craft + stealth" ... "Make speech about inability to invent religeous [sic], political, military, economic, philosophical ethics. Most destructive animal that ever evolved women are different are life protectors. Animals are not the problem humans are and virises [sic] as well. We will either find a solution to male ferocity. or we will find our graves in the poisoned snow of a dead planet. I have sacrificed everything I have on this earth. I see myself as a soldier of the mind, and death holds only a sliver of fear for me -- my work is my life." 



And now - if you're ready for a bit of freakish entertainment - here's the trailer:
