 +===== Feature Film =====
 +
 +Mr. Robot was initially planned to be a full film, with the end of the first act involving someone discovering he had a mental condition while carrying out a larger conspiracy. However, halfway through the first act, he discovered that the screenplay had extended significantly, and it became a script more suited for a television program. He cut 20 pages from the 89-page screenplay and utilized it as the pilot for the series, and what was supposed to be the conclusion of the first act became the season finale.[([[https://books.google.pl/books?id=0M1CDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA1887&lpg=PA1887&dq=Sam+Esmail+had+originally+intended+Mr.+Robot+to+be+a+feature+film,+with+the+end+of+the+first+act+being+someone+finding+out+that+he+had+a+mental+disorder+while+enacting+a+greater+scheme.&source=bl&ots=7bf1Ox6gQY&sig=ACfU3U0PY0zjPaQ2WlTxWo3ydyfYqULAhg&hl=pl&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi6joP1jM35AhXHN-wKHSN-BhkQ6AF6BAgWEAM#v=onepage&q=Sam%20Esmail%20had%20originally%20intended%20Mr.%20Robot%20to%20be%20a%20feature%20film%2C%20with%20the%20end%20of%20the%20first%20act%20being%20someone%20finding%20out%20that%20he%20had%20a%20mental%20disorder%20while%20enacting%20a%20greater%20scheme.&f=false|Google Books]])]
