All That Remains, better known as the Pilot Episode, was the unaired pilot episode of Snowpiercer. (A pilot episode is a standalone episode of a TV-Series made to sell the show to television networks/distributors as a testing ground to see and test if the series will be successful.)

The script was written and the episode was shot sometime between 2016 and 2017. It has never been released to the public and has most probably been lost to time, however concept art as well as numerous photographs of the sets, episode and the script has surfaced on the internet.

The 72 page script can be read here.

Trivia

  • A-lot of characters are different and unknown, yet some of the main characters made it into the series, and some characters seem reminicent of current characters in the show (such as Sayori and Ruth Wardell, or Fergus and Miles).
  • The pilot episode was much darker than the show, as there was cannibalism and the entire train was more like a cult. One of the supporting factors is the fact that the engineers are "monk-like in mien."
  • The episode seems to lean more towards the movie than the current show does, as the train hits 2 massive walls of ice in the episode.
  • The events of a breach in the cattle car is very similar to the one in Season 1 Episode 2.
  • Melanie was supposed to be blonde in the pilot.
  • In the pilot, Wilford Industries was known as "Wilford Industries & Transport" instead of just Wilford Industries.
  • Wilford isn't on-board Snowpiercer just like season 1 of the series, however his backstory in the pilot seems darker. According to Sayori, Wilford's father grandfather worked in a car factory, but lost their job when the factory shutdown. His father went on a search for a job but never returned and his mother lost her house, leading them to living in shelters, the streets and eventually railyards and empty trains. His mother had to sacrifice herself for Wilford to go to school.
  • According to the script, the temperature outside in the pilot is -140 degrees, compared to the show's -110/120 average and the comic's -80.
  • The Brakemen's uniforms were maroon colored instead of the blue in the TV Series.
  • The Wilford Industries & Transport plaque was re-used to make the Wilford Industries website's welcome page despite being dated.
