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.

Seriously though, I've always seen Sev as very much the lean, sinewy type, that's one of the reasons I thought of Irons. The other is that Irons can do a very good Serious. Nobody can do Serious like that man :-) ---
