Original Script Review - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was cruising around OneRing when I found a <A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/features/script/index.html" TARGET=_blank>review of the original two film script</A> that was submitted to Miramax, the studio that originally was going to do the film and bailed when they thought costs were getting out of hand and wanted to cut back to only one film. PJ refused to do this so the deal was squashed. He repitched the script to New Line who felt that two films was not a good idea, after all there are three films here.<P>Thank god this happened but, now that we've seen two thirds of what PJ has coming to us, it's interesting to look back at the original two script idea. I think it makes you appeciate even more what we got.<P>H.C.
