About 3 minutes ago I was at VARIETY.COM where I was reading a wonderful shot of adrenaline. It looks like there is a possibility that the financing might be being pulled together to make my personal pet fave unproduced project in the whole wide world. It was a script I read before I ever even had this site of mine. It is... singularly COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!! The news is a bit vague, there are rumblings of movement, of deals. Nothing solid yet. It's one of those, "there might be a deal" thingees. Let us pray. May the movie gods look out over this film. May Mechanic and Rothman grant a limitless budget and directorial control to Paul Verhoeven (who, right now is not attached, BUT MUST BE SOON!!!!) and that we could see... in a single glorius breathtaking year CRUSADE and the first chapter of LORD OF THE RINGS!!!! That Poledouris will be signed INSTANTLY as the composer, that Ron Cobb is instantly signed as Production Designer with Frank Frazetta as the Art Director. I better stop before the drool level reaches the electrical outlet. If you wish to read the Variety story, click on the earlier link, it'll take ya right to it!!!!
