A big problem with adapting ”The Furies” would have been that the villain/hero and the heroes/villains (the moral scales of the characters were all a bit ambiguous) chasing him never had a face-to-face confrontation in Zelazny’s story.  That would probably have been one of the changes requested, if an actual screenplay had been written and shopped to producers.

(I’d still like to see someone try.  It’s a kick-ass story, on steroids.)

Before the mission took place, the CIA publicized a read-through with the ‘actors’ that would ‘star’ in Argo, to lend their project credibility in the media. I’m suggesting that if someone from Geller’s original team had learned they were ostensibly doing the exact same movie under a different name, and then told that to the media, it might have compromised their cover.

It seems to me this risk would have been significant, since the people who’d been working with Geller would have moved in the circles most likely to hear about such a media event.

Creatures of Light and Darkness gets a little too weird.

Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Argo

That is the love. That.

Fixed that for you. The Oughts called, want half-baked assessments of Mr. Affleck’s career back.

The world expected more of GWH and less Gigli. It seems to have just taken a while for him to find his talent again after that initial success, but don’t forget he wrote that with Matt.

Can you imagine what the movie would have been like if it had actually been made in the 60′s or 70′s?  Dune would have looked mundane, straightforward, and understated in comparison.
