Before the Fall👍 Recommends
…discussing unprodued scripts and projects that remain in development limbo
“I wrote this novel before the fall and, you know, Sony owned it and I adapted it. I think it's great, but it's expensive, right? It's like a, you know, $70 million drama thriller and they don't make those right now. So I could beat my head against a wall for five years trying to get it made or I could go, I'm going to bide my time and. Or turn it into a limited series.”
