Teresa Wright and Matt Damon in 'The Rainmaker' Teresa Wright: From Marlon Brando to Matt Damon (See preceding post: "Teresa Wright vs. Samuel Goldwyn: Nasty Falling Out.") "I'd rather have luck than brains!" Teresa Wright was quoted as saying in the early 1950s. That's understandable, considering her post-Samuel Goldwyn choice of movie roles, some of which may have seemed promising on paper.[1] Wright was Marlon Brando's first Hollywood leading lady, but that didn't help her to bounce back following the very public spat with her former boss. After all, The Men was released before Elia Kazan's film version of A Streetcar Named Desire turned Brando into a major international star. Chances are that good film offers were scarce. After Wright's brief 1950 comeback, for the third time in less than a decade she would be gone from the big screen for more than a year.

He was recently attached to the developing live-action Ghost In The Shell, but director Rupert Sanders (Snow White And The Huntsman) is also juggling sci-fi crime thriller The Juliet. The latter, adapted from Alfred Bester's short story Fondly Fahrenheit, now has a new screenwriter: Paul Haggis has signed up to take a crack at the latest draft.Bester's most famous works are the novels The Stars My Destination and The Demolished Man. Fondly Fahrenheit was written in between those two stonking sci-fi classics in 1954, and involves a rich, psychologically unstable playboy who projects his personality into his murderously malfunctioning pet android. Bester himself adapted it for television in 1959 as Murder And The Android, part of the hour-long NBC Sunday Showcase series. The new version started life at Sony, but is now at Warner Bros. under the aegis of production company Atlas Entertainment. Previous versions of the script have been...
