The Variable Man with Gary Goldman and Angus Fletcher | Development Hell

Revisionist History

Available for 273 days

Gary Goldman was a writer on 鈥淭otal Recall鈥, a Philip K. Dick adaptation directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Arnold Schwarzeneger. It was a big hit. So why do Gary and his writing partner, Angus Fletcher, have so much trouble selling another Philip K. Dick adaptation? They tell Malcolm that it all came down to a roller coaster ride of plot twists that even A-List action actors couldn鈥檛 stomach, and an early attempt at AI that was too dumb to pick a smart script.
