Well, Wes seems to be interested again in working with Patrick and myself on “The Hills Have Eyes”. I met Patrick this morning at our famous Starbucks to discuss what we will discuss tomorrow when we meet with Wes and Peter Locke. Peter produced Hills with Wes and I believe they control the rights together.
From what I can understand Wes wants out from under Miramax. Granted they’ve had some big successes together with the Scream franchise but I suppose all good things must come to an end. And that may partly be due to the turmoil evidently surrounding Cursed. Anyway, Wes says Dimension has already passed on Hills so he is free to go to other studios. Patrick and I will write the script and although there’s been no talk of it, the chances are probably good that Patrick will direct while Peter and Wes produce.
I think Wes sort of did Patrick wrong on Drac 2000 and this will be some form of making amends although I doubt either would admit to it. But I don’t know the details so I won’t speculate further.
So we meet with them in the morning then I think Wes and Peter will start going around pitching the idea and our attachment. I guess that works. Wes certainly has some power around town but I’m wondering if Toddly may end up getting bent over on this one.
Granted I came to Patrick after my agents had informed me of the gig but Patrick is family. They all know him over there and they all seem to love him. I’m just the doofus sidekick to Patrick…least that’s how it feels.
