...Dead Ringers that I'd been trying to get made. Yet even after I did The Fly, it still was a huge struggle. Then I realized something that I had intuited already, which is: those people in Hollywood are very down to earth, they're very practical. You walk in with The Fly, they can see it. You walk in with two gynecologists who end up dead, they don't want to make that movie, they want you to make The Fly again. They're not stupid.

...cancer? It's all the rage. Actress Christina Applegate, Senator Ted Kennedy, Olympic swimmer Eric Shanteau, columnist Robert Novak are just the highest profile of the 1.4 million Americans who will get a diagnosis of cancer this year. Walk into the oncology waiting room of a hospital and you'll find it hard not to notice the crowd--or the balding heads, the yellow faces, that gaunt prisoner-of-war look of those who are well into their chemotherapy.
