I was set to work on a film that he wrote and was to direct (actually it was "polished" by a professional writer and his directing was going to be supervised by a real director). The movie was entitled PRINCE OF PISTOLS and it was to go into production last summer. When the powers that be found out how much weight he had gained, they refused to back the film financially, saying that they would come up with the money if he would lose 50 pounds or more.
Didn't happen.
He still thinks of himself as a ladies man and has written love scenes for himself where he is fully clothed but the "lady" is totally nude. You can tell by reading (or trying to read) his scripts that he really thinks highly of himself...maybe a bit TOO highly.
