Eliot Ness hunts a killer, Nicolas Cage plays the Man of Steel and Marilyn Monroe is The Girl in Pink Tights in films that were never released. A writer, a producer and a film expert tell the movies’ hidden histories
Torso had all the elements of a thing that Hollywood would like: it was true and it was kind of a sequel to a hit movie,Marc and I wrote a draft and took it out and it was almost a comedy of errors. We had one very famous producer argue with us whether Eliot Ness was a real person or not. And then, all of a sudden, David Fincher was attached. He’s one of my heroes. It was being positioned as kind of a trilogy with Seven andIt was going to be black and white, Matt Damon was going to be Ness.
I want to say: never feel bad for someone who has an option. Someone gives you money to sit there and be still. There isn’t a person on the planet who doesn’t have their projects that haven’t been made yet, things they really want. Maybe it’s just not the time, not the moment. It’s not personal. And Torso is a perfect example – I’ve had a lifetime of really cool interactions and experiences because I don’t have the movie yet.
I made the true graphic novel Fortune and Glory based on my experiences in Hollywood, and it ended up being my biggest commercial book. It’s the thing that people most identified with, because even if they weren’t in Hollywood, they knew what it felt like to go: “That meeting sucked.” A couple of years ago I was introduced to the director Corin Hardy, and Torso is now being developed as a television series. The saga continues.The Death of Superman Lives1996-98 production of Tim Burton’s Superman adaptation
