It is, without question, the biggest deal I've ever made, and with Ron

from being marginally known in the film business right into the
catetory of a-list writer overnight, which parallels what happened with
Akiva Goldman.

There is something vaguely bizarre in the fact that someone who, as a
script writer, has already been responsible for something on the order
of $1,000,000,000 of income for the shield suddenly becoming much more
important as a script writer because someone /might/ make a movie out
of a /novel/ that he wrote.

Yeah, I know.... It's Chinatown....

Well, if you say it's a good thing, I'll take your word for it.

(Kinda wish it didn't involve Ron Howard, though. For me, it's going to
be a while before the stink of TDVC dissipates.)
