Writer came in today with a pitch for a remake of the Irvin Kershner film. I always roll my eyes at the thought of remakes but the boss stresses them so I develop them.
The thing that always bothered me about EYES OF LAURA MARS is why did Faye Dunaway all of a sudden start to have these visions? Why did she see through the eyes of the killer? That was never explained in the film.
So the start of the meeting didn't exactly fill me with hope. I interrupted the writer two sentences into his pitch with this problem of mine. And I've got to say, this writer has it all worked out. It's the best pitch I've heard all year long. Could easily be made. A taut thriller.
Of course my boss passed on it an hour later. He kept referencing the tv show VERONICA MARS. Ass. Is it any wonder I drink the way I do?
