Bill,
It went off the wheels, as things so often do in that
business. The director left the project. But I'm still
hopeful. (Hope is the last to die the Mexicans say.) The
script is much different than the book. I like the script--
it's mine-- better in fact than the book! It's less hide
bound. (No pun intended.)
For some reason Eve takes over in the movie and
becomes a kind of avenging Shiva. I wanted to turn the "Femme
Fatale" into something else, something more interesting to me
now. There is a arch to that character in the script that I
think is really fresh. I hope people get to see it someday. I
wanted to pick up where "Chinatown" ends. My movie is hopeful
at the end.
There is a line in the my script, near the very end, I
love. Jimmy turns to the audience and says "You can't believe
all the bull@#$% people believe these days." If I was
directing, I'd take it very very close. Big face looking
right at us as he speaks.

movie adaptation of DARK RIDE was in the works. Is it going
to happen--perhaps it's happening? What's the scoop?
