25th Anniversary

On May 20, 2020, Privateer 2: The Darkening director Steve Hilliker released The Darkening 25th Anniversary Restoration which featured footage restored from Betacam tapes. The footage has been edited down into a cinema cut but where available it is of much higher quality than the game's files.

Betacam

A pair of Betacam SP tapes recovered from Digital Anvil have provided high quality versions of much of Privateer 2: The Darkening's Main Plot. These cuts are not final and digital effects are missing.

Origin Museum VHS

A VHS tape digitized by Joe Garrity of the Origin Museum included versions of edits 7 through 74.

Storyboards

A collection of Privateer 2 Storyboards has been provided by Joe Garrity of the Origin Museum. They cover the Main Plot cutscenes.

Script

The The Darkening Script Draft 7 used during the game's shooting has been provided by Erin Roberts.

SC.212 INTO GALACTIC GOURMET RECEPTION (COMPUTER
GENERATED: NO VIDEO) —

A posh, beautiful, lush-looking establishment. This is a
very sybaritic sort of establishment. People come here to
eat, to drink, to gamble.... It should look and feel like a
Vegas casino.


SC.213 ON ARRIS

CAMERA FOLLOWS as he walks over to what appears to be a
check-in desk. When player clicks on MAN behind the desk:


SC.214 ON THE DESK

To a man working behind it.

ARRIS
Excuse me -- I'm looking for
Hugo Charmichael -- he's a guest,
I believe --
THE MAN
Certainly, sir. Just follow
your lovely hostess. She'll take
you to his room.

Arris looks around him in some mild confusion: he doesn't
see any hostess.


SC.215 WIDER

A GLOWING BUBBLE appears in the air beside him. It seems to
contain the face of a pretty woman: she smiles at him
seductively...but without any body attached to the head, the
effect is slightly unnerving.

HOLO LADY
(hootchy-koo voice)
This way, Ser...


SC.216 ANOTHER ANGLE

The bubble collapses itself into a glowing point of light and
zips off, leading the way. Arris goes after it, looking
slightly bemused.


SC.217 INT. GALACTIC GOURMET HALLWAY

Long hotel corridor high up in the atrium. One side is a
sort of balustrade over which you can see the empty space of
the atrium: the other is a long wall with doors in it.


SC.218 ARRIS. THE LITTLE LIGHT

The light comes to the door, bobs up and down in front of it,
then EXPANDS back into the bubble-and-face for a moment.

HOLO LADY
Room 13014, ser! Enjoy your
stay at the Galactic Gourmet!

The bubble then POPS in a cascade of smaller bubbles, which
bob around and vanish as well. Arris waves them away,
amused, then turns and touches the annunciator plate on the
door. It opens.


SC.213 INT. GALACTIC GOURMET ROOM

A nicely furnished, luxurious room.

ARRIS
Hugo?

No answer. Arris steps into the bedroom.
As he looks in - stops: looks astonished.

ARRIS
Hugo -- !

Off his reaction -- because there's smoke drifting past him -


SC.221 REVERSE ANGLE

Showing Hugo dead on the floor, blaster-burned right throgh
the middle -- and a MAN in nondescript coveralls kneeling
down beside him, going through Hugo's pockets: something in
his hand. He notices Arris, levels a blaster at him.

MAN
Step inside....close the door.


SC.222 BACK TO ANGLE

Arris jumps the guy, as a bolt goes by his ear.


SC.223 ON THE TWO OF THEM

Wrestling on the floor. They roll back and forth. The
assailant tries to get the gun up against Arris.


SC.224 ANOTHER ANGLE

Arris gets the better of the struggle. He pushes the gun
into the guy's stomach. It goes off. BLAST OF LIGHT and
SFX: BLASTER SNARL -


SC.225 WIDER

Arris gets up amid smoke and stink. Notices that one of the
assassin's hands is still tightly closed around something.


SC.226 CLOSE - ARRIS

As he bends down, pries the hand open, finds a memory solid.


SC.227 ARRIS

He stands up, stares at the thing....pockets it, and looks
down at Hugo, then leaves cautiously.
