Unseen footage of "Perfume" video leaks/Joseph Kahn talks
For those of you who don't remember, Britney was supposed to be pretty badass on the video, but her team asked Joseph Kahn to edit the violent parts.
Quote:
Director Joseph Kahn said of the original treatment:
"It sucks, especially since my director’s cut is an entirely different video. The released edit is missing half of the story and all of the editorial structure. It took a lot of serious salvaging of footage to get it to an acceptable place after the concept was gutted. It’s like watching people pet a shaved, bald, declawed cat. I don’t gain any satisfaction from people liking work I did that’s heavily compromised... If they liked the weak version, I’d bet they’d love the strong one. No one knows what they’re missing, and they’re missing a lot."
It was unclear exactly WHAT happened in the original, but rumor had it Brit Brit killed off the male lead and his chick on the side. Now the original video storyline, including alleged leaked screen caps showing a bruised and beat up Britney (some believe these are shopped) is online:
"Britney meets a guy with whom she falls instantly in love. It's made clear to the audience that Britney is an assassin/hitman as we see her kill a group of people in a car (hence the gun pictures that were leaked to the media). She is given her next assignment who turns out to be the guy she fell in love with at the beginning of the video. The go to meet in their favorite spot, but Britney is not there. She is across the street with a rifle with her target set on him. She looks through the scope and sees her man holding a ring her made for her. She leaves and aborts the mission to kill him. She leaves town because she knows she is not safe around him. Doing this, she knows she will be killed for abandoning her mission to kill this guy. She hides out in a hotel and is taken by other assassins and beaten, tied to a chair, etc. She has sacrificed herself for this man. We see time pass as he dates a new girl, gets married, has a baby, etc. We see him looking out a window thinking about Britney, his true love that disappeared. Then, we see Britney on the floor of her hotel room, barely alive, as her body slowly turns to ash. The last shot of Britney is the hotel room is her smiling as their eyes seem to meet. Her body then disintegrates. The final shot of the video is Britney and her lover kissing in the sunset."
They turned the video into a cheating scandal rather than it's true storyline exploring the idea of sacrifice because her team thought it would put a lot of media attention on Britney that would be negative. Mainly because of the killing scenes.

@JamieAlderson That's the basic concept of the video. I decided to kill the ash stuff before shooting and keep it more grounded at the end.

That image didn't come from us. We delivered all materials to label and wiped our drives.

Someone read the original treatment of PERFUME and then claimed to have seen the edit, which they obviously did not. Close though.

That's definitely shopped. And Britney would never do that. Even if Jason abused her, she either wouldn't have the courage to air it as dirty laundry for the world to know about and/or she wouldn't throw him under the bus like that.

The write up of the story looks fake and they use so many sentences wrong, it has to be fake...

Well I just checked the ending of the Perfume video (which is where this part would be at) and there are similar frames but there isn't one that matches the image in the OP so
