Reading Facebook Mr McBride, I was kinda hoping you'd be working on The Other Side Of The Wind !
Ashley,
I haven't been involved with that project (other than to give advice) since I and cinematographer
Gary Graver made the $3 million deal with Showtime in 1998 to finish and produce the film, and I was
then fired by Oja Kodar and Peter Bogdanovich. More recently, the much-ballyhooed deal the
new producers have made with Kodar (as reported in the New York Times) has fallen apart over her ongoing demands
for more money and other changes in the deal. It's tragic, since the producers have a company
willing to put up the money, but she won't sign the contract, further proof that she
just doesn't want the film to come out, for reasons that remain obscure. I think it's criminal to block a work by a major artist.
