Juraj Herz(1934-2018)

Unproduced screenplay "Nadsamec" ("Supermale") co-authored with Milos Macourek, based on novel by Alfred Jarry. A provocative dark sci-fi comedy that counted on the surprising casting of Macourek's and Herz's mutual friend, screenwriter Pavel Jurácek, in the title role. After the Communist Party found Jurácek to be 'persona non grata', the project was dropped. A few years later, the writers tried to pitch the script again, and at one point Macourek was supposed to be the director as he seemed to be less controversial than Herz, but even that time the script was not produced.
