About those alleged MINORITY REPORT sets being built on Manhattan Beach...

Twas complete and utter BULLSHIT. I'm just getting back to Austin, and there have been several developments with MINORITY REPORT that many in the 'web world' haven't quite caught on to yet. The first is this draft that every 'scooper' out there seems to have of the film. That script... and Spielberg's film are not the same things. They were once... about a year ago.... but since then the project has been undergoing a complete reconception through a collaborative process of writing and pre-production that Spielberg has been working on.... while Scott Frank gets this incredibly difficult script together. If this movie goes forward (and I'm confident it will) it would go forward at the FOX LOT.... NOT MANHATTAN BEACH... When I saw Father Geek's posting of that Autronic Eye bloke... I followed up with some people I know in and around Dreamworks... They said that we will be finding out very soon which way things will be going with the project. Patience... Oh yes, the future will not look like the 1950's, it's far ahead of that retro-future-styling... If you track down some of what I said back during the Austin Heart of Texas Film Festival and Writer's Fest... you'll see some of what I learned from Scott Frank then. Now, who knows where it's at now... but the only thing I worry about is Cate Blanchett scheduling all these other projects, when she's supposed to be signed for this... but I guess Steven can accomadate most any schedule. Harry out...
