His letters and telegrams that I have seen are full of warmth and affection -- even to the studio execs. There is much work being done now and I hope the fruits of this research will come out in the next few years. As for Elias Merhige, we met him many years back when we were considering the distribution of Begotten, and I can't EVER really imagine him doing Charlie's Angels 2.
