An Inside Perspective On This Film
I worked in Hollywood when this script made the rounds. (I've now come to my senses and make my living in another field.)
I can tell you that it was a fantastic script. Highly ambitious.
The reason it is not as good a movie as the screenplay is due to the producer and the director.
It's a shame because it should have been a fantastic movie.
Trust me when I say that all the stars got attached because of the script. None of them got paid near what they usually make. (The producer is notoriously cheap.)
There are some wonderful moments which remain, but when I watched it, I just wanted to get back in the business and remake it as it should have been made the first time!
Pity.
A lot of things need to come together to make a great film.
