September 30, 1998...Tom Cruise was once rumored to have a hand in this, how big a hand we can't really say.  Not because we're keeping anything from you, we just don't know.  It appears that it's all moot, since Stone has put this one on the shelf indefinitely.  Whether it will ever get back off that shelf remains to be seen.  I can tell you this, though, in all seriousness--Stone's angle on Alex's death: conspiracy.  Sweartagod.

November 16, 1998... Last week ZENtertainment reported that Stone told the London Sunday Times that the script for the film is finished.  He is still in talks with Cruise about starring.  [Originally appeared in ZENtertainment; London Sunday Times; reported by Widgett.]
