Looking through my old Frank files, I found this deleted scene. It was to be towards the end of the movie. Jon has lost Frank. But he’s been given a lead - via Twitter - as to where he might find him…

(Sorry for the weird formatting)…

EXT. RURAL LOUISIANA - DAY
A GRIM LANDSCAPE of RURAL POVERTY, strewn with old rusting metal, abandoned vehicles, shacks, hungry-looking dogs.
HILLBILLY CHILDREN and OLD PEOPLE stare suspiciously at JON as he pulls up outside a SHACK in his HIRE CAR.
GPS VOICE (O.S)
You have reached your destination.
I/E. HIRE CAR - CONTINUOUS
JON
(To himself)
Christ. It’s like Winter’s Bone.
CLOSE on the details of the POVERTY and SUSPICION.
Jon gets out Twitter.
JON (V.O.)
(With great solemnity, as he types)
I’ve found Frank’s childhood home. It’s so bleak. No wonder he never talked about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the victim of some kind of…
Jon sighs.
JON (V.O.)
…farm abuse. And now I get it. This is the pain you need to make the great music. Hashtag but is it worth it?
Jon nervously leaves the car, approaches a HILLBILLY MAN. Other HILLBILLIES stand a little way off, watching.
JON
(His voice quivering)
I’ve come to see Frank.
The man stares silently.
JON (CONT’D)
(Beat)
Wears a fake head?
The hillbilly spits on the floor.
HILLBILLY
Ain’t no one round here wears a fake head.
JON
(Beat)
Okay.
(Plucking up courage)
Except he grew up here. And he’s been sighted here. So I think he actually may be here?
The hillbillies share a HARD-TO-DECIPHER LOOK.
HILLBILLY
He’s in the shed.
The hillbilly indicates a nearby CREEPY WOODSHED.
JON
(Beat)
Frank’s in that shed?
HILLBILLY
I’ll show you.
The hillbilly walks towards the shed. His friends follow.
HILLBILLY (CONT’D)
C’mon.
Jon nervously begins to follow.
JON
Actually, you know what, I think I’ll leave it.
HILLBILLY
He’s in there. I’ll show you.
(Calling towards the shed)
Frank. You got a visitor.
The hillbillies, with a now terrified Jon in tow, ENTER the shed.
INT. SHED - CONTINUOUS
Lying on the floor, in the straw, is an OLD SCARECROW with a grotesque FAKE HEAD.
The HILLBILLIES laugh.
HILLBILLY
Is this your friend?
Jon politely laughs.
HILLBILLY (CONT’D)
I told you ain’t no one round here wears a fake head.
JON
Anyway, thanks!
Jon leaves the shed.
EXT. SHED - CONTINUOUS
Jon walks towards his car. The Hillbilly follows.
HILLBILLY
What’s the address you’re looking for?
Jon gets out his MAP QUEST print-out. The HILLBILLIES ponder it. The Head Hillbilly spits on the floor again.
HILLBILLY (CONT’D)
You typed the wrong zip code into your GPS.
JON
Did I?
HILLBILLY
(Pointing at the print-out)
Says here 71008. You typed 71007.
JON
Oh, gosh.

HILLYBILLY
Place you’re looking for’s about nine miles that way.
JON
(Beat)
Thanks.
