Pat Speer Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Does anyone know? If they're trying to get it ready for the 50th, shouldn't they already be filming? Edited June 26, 2012 by Pat Speer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ecker Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 At IMDbPro (International Movie Data Base) it is not listed among any of his projects as producer or actor for the next two years. Such a shame, but on the bright side I'm sure that Bugliosi had a big payday anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Backes Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I doubt he's been scarred off. If it's still green lit I suspect it's been moved or renamed project X and is now undercover with some phony named production company in an attempt to keep it hidden from the likes of us.

Pat Speer Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I believe I saw something about Scorcese working on a mafia movie based upon another mafia-did-it book (I Heard You Paint Houses.) Is this one going through as well? If so, I'm not so sure it's a bad thing. Maybe these movies will inspire some "journalists" to take a closer look at what really happened, and convince some youngsters that the assassination is relevant after all.

Pat Speer Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) This article is dated May 30, 2012: http://www.nbcnewyor...n-85825947.html Thanks, David. That article pretty much confirms that the original concept of an 8 or 9 part mini-series with a supportive documentary featuring Bugliosi is dead, and MIGHT be replaced by a multi-part documentary regurgitating the evidence already presented on TV ad nauseum. So why pay Bugliosi a PENNY for the rights to his book? I mean, the evidence in his book was taken almost entirely from the Warren Report. P.S. WHERE in the world does Paxton get this idea that the evidence against Oswald has never been presented to the public? Apparently, he has never seen the mock trial, or the mini-series on the trial of Oswald. Or the Discovery Channel programs. Oh well.

Don Jeffries Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That email address for Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Andrews Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The price for optioning the right would be significantly less than the price for actually filming the material. Theoretically, one could take a book off the film market by optioning it under the right contract and then not making the picture.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I guess he's also forgotten (or doesn't know about) the best documentary film ever made about the JFK case -- David Wolper's 1964 lone-assassin feature motion picture, "Four Days In November". Any filmmaker or documentary producer would be hard-pressed to top Mr. Wolper's film.

William Kelly Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 A lot of writers are paid off through the sale of the movie rights for movies that are never made. BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ecker Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 If indeed the movie isn't made, I might watch a Tom Hanks movie again in the future. In the meantime, I can't stand the sight of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Burnham Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hanks will be narrating the movie only. Nothing about the Bug in it. Paxton is an even less note worthy actor than was the "B-movie" king, Ronal Reagan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
