Pushkin.

Hello, Malcolm Glabel here.

A little while back, I became obsessed with stories that fell apart.

Specifically, Hollywood projects that fell apart and why they did.

So I started calling up everyone I knew in Hollywood and asked them to pitch me their favorite idea, the one that broke their heart because it never got made.

These stories were so good, and we decided to turn them into a series on revisionist history.

We're calling it development

hell the dreaded phrase known in Hollywood ever wants to hear, the one that describes

the purgatory, where once promising scripts go to die.

There's going to be name dropping, celebrity gossip, endless digressions,

a story that was way too shocking for the studios,

one that was told from the point of view of an exotic pet.

And about the wild ride we went on trying to adapt my book, Blink.

I can't wait to share it all with you.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts and as always you can listen to all

of Revision's History ad free by subscribing to Pushkin Plus. And so everybody there knows really what's going on but they were also listening to

other things. It was a very weird situation to be in. And so, and then I started

reading the things so that I would know what other people were knowing about me. And then I just

got very, I was just getting really sick. It was just like, I was just like, I'm very sick. People are not treating me well here because of what they're reading and that's insanity like the you know what I mean and it's just a complicated thing that people need to know.

Like to just, we have to collectively say,

you know what, we don't care what people are saying online

because they don't understand and their opinions don't matter.
