This movie was apparently in development hell for a few years. I remember The Rock being connected to it like ten years ago. My impression is that they bought the rights in an IP buying binge and only later realized marketing about a film adaptation of a middling-popularity TV show from 40 years ago would probably be…

He’s not dead yet? Huh. I swore I had read his obituary. Oh well. 

Zealotry is its own reward. 

You’re not gonna believe it, but that Al guy is kind and normal person and a generous collaborator.

It’s crazy that her obituary made no mention of her heroism! And I can’t believe there’s a photo of her working on that day! You’re doing this woman’s memory a wonderful service.

Yeah, dude! The studio greenlight it based on the plots of a couple different writers’ pitches and then two different writers (who were the only ones to actually receive a credit) did the first complete draft. Then Paul Haggis and Shawn Ryan each did an uncredited draft. THEN Jonathan Nolan was on set during…

At least 8 writers were known to have worked on it. I’m blaming McG! 

Wow that’s such a valuable find!

“And the damn movie wasn’t even particularly good either.

Hey awesome! Best of fortunes with that. I look forward to seeking it out.

Hey could I ask you an off-topic, hopefully not stalkery question? I’m sorry I can’t DM it.
