You mean it’s not gonna be Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?

Another movie that should have been aborted was the Greer Garson, Laurence Olivie version of Pride and Prejudice.

I'll make it a point to miss it. I wouldn't want to see anything that reflected badly on Greer Garson. I kind of conflate her, Myrna Loy and Claudette Colbert as an idealized model of the American woman in film.

1.5 million to make the movie. I did a little spit balling and thats around 25 million in today’s dollars. I guess that’s relatively cheap compared to what some movies cost these days.

Al Franken Michael Moore would be a perfect choice to play the lead role in The Blob.

There, all fixed! :-)

Cheers!
