We finally discovered that he had an office in Las Vegas.
So, we kind of cold-called and his secretary said, He doesnt make pictures any more.
you might send the script, but he wont read it.
We sent it and and expected never to hear from him again.
While we were waiting he was given his honorary Oscar (in 2009).
About a week later, we get a call from him.
He had read the script and he committed on the phone.
He said, Lets make a movie, and we were off and running.
