bsu legato Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 CLICK ME! I think this should be treated as a rumor at this point, but it would be a real coup for Robodreck if it's true. Let's hope that this is the "good" Kasdan, not his evil doppelganger who wrote and directed Dreamcatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Not to question Kasdan's writing ability, but I wouldn't give him too much credit for Empire. Leigh Brackett wrote about 90% of the Empire script and then, unfortunately, died. Kasdan was called in to finish it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was the Empire of Dreams doc, or perhaps the original "Making Of Empire" book from 1980. Damned if I can remember now. I'd love to see Bracketts first pass as well, but I don't think it's seen the light of day since 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
