Submit ReviewDespite the underwhelming box office performance of THE LAST BOY SCOUT, Shane Black was still a hot commodity in Hollywood in the early- to mid-90s. And when his new spec script started making the rounds, it resulted in one of the biggest bidding wars the industry had ever seen.
That script, THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, sold for a record breaking $4 million to New Line Cinema, who brought in director Renny Harlin and his actress-wife Geena Davis as the star.
In this episode, we recount all fo the drama that lead to the selling of the script, the shooting of the film, and the fallout that resulted from its ultimate failure.
We're joined this week by our friend Zack Daigle, one of the co-founders of McArathon, an annual 24 hour Christmas movie film festival, which is going virtual this year for it's sixteenth edition. You can find more information on their Facebook page, with information on when and where you can stream the fest.
