Alga, Babe, slow down.
Have you checked his asking price lately? Bottom Line: We get Leo (beefed up, even) and your can kiss any special effects bye-bye.
Imagine BEN HUR without the Chariot race in the third act and you get my drift.
We wan't this sucker before the cameras come August or we can write off a July 99 release.
Besides, Leo's on this Indy quirky thing--going integrity on us. Doubt he'll do it.
By the way--who the hell is Gene Wolfe? Pulper? Pomper? Punner? Gimme the skinny on his track record, Last thing we need in a pitch is a boardroom full of Glazed eyes. Believe me, you say "Tolstoy" to Eisner and he goes smiley on ya. Been there, Done that.
