Comments: Byron Huggins, who's first novel Cain will be published in the spring of 1997, pitched the idea for this project to Stallone on the set of Copland. At the conclusion of the meeting, Stallone was geared up for the idea, and Huggins was set to write his novel from the two-page proposal outline he had.
Universal Pictures paid $1.25 million for the rights to the idea, based upon Huggins two pages. God bless them!
Huggins is forcasting an even eight months to finish the novel, and Universal wants to bring in an "A-level" screenwrite to adapt the novel to a script quickly.
