BLACKTHORNE—ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY—FIRSTDRAFT

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 5

Scope and Contents

This is the first and only draft of BLACKTHORNE. We never revised it. In many ways it was way ahead of its time in terms of huge comic book approach and the massive visuals. I think people read it and thought we were out of our minds. If you look at this and think about this being done with computer graphics, it would be visually stunning.

It was never produced. There was a change of jobs at the executive level and the project never went forward. Jim and I made leatherette covers for own private collection.
