The World of Henry Orient

No strange in the title. I came across this when looking up the real
title:

"MGM and Shutt-Jones are teaming to remake The 1964 film THE WORLD OF
HENRY ORIENT based on a pitch by Lizzy Weiss, who will write the
script. Buffy Schutt and Kathy Jones will produce."

It would be really cool if they could fiddle just a little with the
script and make him a microtonalist instead of a "modern" pianist. But
then I suppose the public would get the impression that microtonalists
are somehow offbeat....

Man, that was one of my *favorite* films. That's the one about the
two teenage girls who stalk Peter Sellers, right?? Any names in the
running for the Peter Sellers role???

That's the one. But I went to
http://www.scriptsales.com/ArchivesAug00.html
to look it up...ugggh... they are writing is as two teenage girls
following a business woman they admire. What a waste (I guess...you
never know, maybe Lizzy is really good). But look over the "done
deals" concepts. No wonder Hollywood is a stinking hell-hole soul-
sucker.
