----------------------------Original message---------------------------- One of the realities of life and the movie business is that "he who owns the football is captain of the team." While one may sympathize with the director, I saw little in the press release to indicate that he was willing to backout of the deal -- return the money and all that. He was willing to take the money going in, as who wouldn't with the home of one's brother-in-law on the line. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cal Pryluck, Radio-Television-Film, Temple University, Philadelphia <[log in to unmask]> <[log in to unmask]> SCREENsite -- A Film/TV-studies site on the World Wide Web URL:http://www.sa.ua.edu/TCF/welcome.htm
