I wish I could share it, but, y'know, copyright. There was a script for a fantastic film called The Cellar. It was bought by J.J. Abrams's company Bad Robot.
Since Abrams has absolutely zero artistic integrity he forcefully shoe horned Cloverfield into it and renamed it 10 Cloverfield Lane.
It wasn't too hard to do. The only things that connect to Cloverfield are an ad for the fictional brand "Slusho!" at a gas station and that God awful, piece of s**t ending that ruined the movie.
I'm not a Hollywood editor so my edits are a bit primitive. The title card is just "The Cellar" and doesn't do that thing with the moving logo going down, since I can't animate.
I removed the gas station scene, but the film's score made it a bit tricky. Unfortunately, you can hear a somewhat abrupt change in the music. I did my best to make it fade naturally.
I removed the Bad Robot credit during the car crash scene out of pure spite. This was actually really easy. The credits during the car crash are intentionally abrupt and jarringly silent, so I made the change seamlessly.
Next, I removed that garbage ending. This is, sadly, when my edit is the least subtle. Changing the ending is a little tricky since the Cloverfield BS starts in an in opportune moment. Because of this, my ending is a bit abrupt. But I did my best to make it seem more professional.
Finally, I had to remove the fancy credits. Unfortunately, due to the film's trash ending they made the credits have this awful music that's supposed to sound tense and cool, which didn't go well with my edit of the ending. Instead, I used the parts of the credits where it's your basic white text vertically scrolling on a black background. The music there is more fitting.
After that there was an issue of the subtitles. Because of my changes to the film's opening, the subtitle file was off by about two minutes. I found a program to fix it, which was surprisingly easy and painless to do. Of course I had to remove the credits from the trash ending.
I can't upload it anywhere due to copyright concerns, but I am showing it to my sister. I figured she'd appreciate a more pure and faithful experience for the original script.
Exactly where does your ending cut off?

Spoilers below. Highlight the text to read.
After Michelle takes off her mask and starts taking heavy breaths. It cuts to black, you hear her last deep breath over the black screen, I put an echo on the final breath to make it less awkward, roll credits. It's abrupt, but I didn't really have any other choice.
