I was really looking forward to getting started on “Cowboy Smoke”, but was not disheartend by the push of the start date. In this business it’s all part of the game. As an a example, I have a friend who works with a big name writer/director who had a film that a major hollywood studio wanted to make a couple of years ago. After agreeing on a $90 million dollar budget and starting pre-production, the studio pulled out for various reasons. They had big name actors attached, had scouted locations, and hired crewmembers. Recently the studio has picked up interest in the script again, so much so, it wants to make the film and a sequel. By the time this film gets made it will have been over five years in the works. There are stories like this all over Hollywood, and working in this industry, you learn to take everything with a grain of salt. So for now, I’ll keep my gun in my holster for a little while longer…but I got a itchy trigger finger.
