Kuriosa
PRODFAKTA:
Production on the Fox/Regency project will begin early next year in Italy. Scott said he'll do this film and then follow with either the William Nicholson-scripted "American Caesar" at Universal or the Intermedia-based "Pancho Villa," which is being written by Steve Zaillian. "These are going to occupy the next five years of my life and I love all three of them LÅNG
PRODUKTION:
the project has been Scott's unrequited love for nearly two decades."I expected to make this film 18 years ago with (Regency principal) Arnon Milchan, right after my first movie, 'The Hunger,"' Scott said. "It stumbled along because I had only directed an esoteric vampire movie and hadn't proven my worth and I had a bird in the hand with 'Top Gun."'
FÖRLAGA:
Milchan ultimately did a version of "Man on Fire" -- a 1987 picture directed by Elie Chouraqui and starring Scott Glenn -- but it wasn't memorable enough to create an impediment to a new version.
