Originally Anakin was to kill Dooku the way he killed Windu, towards the middle of the film.
There was no Grevious, because that character was created to fill in the gap that was left when they decided to kill Dooku off within the first fifteen minutes.
Obi-Wan wasn't sent to kill Grevious/Dooku either.
And it opened with a montage of the Clone Wars being fought on seven different planets, instead of the flat rescue of Palpatine.
Deciding to kill off Dooku and replace him with Grevious opened up a lot of problems, and I think ruined the story of the first half of the movie. (Which subsequently helped ruin the story of the second half.)

Hal, do you have a copy of this script? I would love to read it.
