Not only the story, but the complete screenplay from a possible X-Men spin-off movie have been revealed and are now online. Set in the late 80's between X-MEN: APOCALYPSE and DARK PHOENIX, the film was a horror/monster story influenced by John Carpenter's THE THING and would have seen Hank McCoy/Beast facing off with a monstrous mad scientist-turned-"Windigo" in a snow-covered Alaskan village while still battling his inner "beast". Wolverine and Professor X were also to be included, and Mr. Sinister was to be introduced, but it seems that franchise honcho Simon Kinberg refused to even read this completed draft.
