I heard of a Tamil - yes Tamil - film where the they were going to keep the camera frame fixed (a mirror apparently) and it would capture the going-ons.
Wondered how they could sustain for a feature length film. And I don't think the film saw the light of day But in waeld cinema- have such things been tried? |

Very nice thread. But arambicha pavattunAla, you got to get links.
Scorcese - shitload of projects announced with his name. That Irish gangster flick with De Niro? Thunderball, based on script by Fleming and Jack Whittingham (that led to lawsuit and possibly Fleming's early death). Casino Royale, straight forward adaptation by the producer Charles Feldman in 67. Post 1978 Superman, Batman (thank god it didn't happen). |

Spielberg offered to do Bond (before Lucas convinced him to do Raiders).
Speaking of which... ...Tom Sellect as Indiana Jones... ...Brosnan as Bond 1987... ...young punk Dalton as Bond in 1969... ...Cary Grant as Bond 1962 (confirm except he didn't want multi-film contract)... James Cameroon Spiderman movie (90s, with Arnie as Doc Ock). |

The long opening take of Leone's Stalingrad (narrated in one of the DVD extras by his acquaintance) is absolutely mesmeric to even think of. De niro was to act, I think.
Nicholson as Kubrick's Napolean however takes the cake! And Kubrick's design for the war scenes was mindblowing, based on his interviews! |

All that you mentioned, except the Hitch one, would have been awesome. The Leonard book is not for Hitch, no way. But still the premise is so De Palma-esque (who is a bastardized descendant of Hitch) |

Which Leonard book is for Hitch 'on paper'? 'd love to see his treatment for any crime film. He's so versatile. |

Versatile-A? I think he has his own genre. Not sure he can handle hardboiled crime. Leonard's are in essence more contemporary version. I feel only the latter directors did justice to his crime books (not sure about western). Have you seen 52 Pick Up. Didn't do justice to the book. Personally, I think QT is meant for Leonard. QT is a descendant of De Palma, who is a descendant of Hitchcock. |

Well, explanation acceptible. The man is more of a visual guy. The entire North By Northwest was built by wanting to do a scene where the Mount Rushmore chase, and subsequent hanging. He picked plays and novels and made it his style. Chandler went nuts trying to work him, to paraphrase, "one moment he wants this, another he wants that (chandler was quoting some of the stunt sequences from Hitch's films). he is not serious about the story"...and also famously remarked to his servants when Hitch came over for script discussion (Strangers in the Train) "Look at that fat bastard trying to get out of his car"
