No 'deal'..... |

Hopkins told SCI FI Wire that the new film version of
Stephen Vincent Benet's supernatural short story
"The Devil and Daniel Webster" will never be
finished. "They pulled the money out, apparently, so it'll never be seen," Hopkins said in an interview. "The producers have no money to finish it." Hopkins played Webster, a lawyer representing a writer who sold his soul to the devil. Alec Baldwin made his directorial debut and co-starred in the film as the writer, Jabez Stone. Hopkins was positive about Baldwin's take on the short story, which was previously made into a play and a 1941 film. But he added that even Baldwin has abandoned the project. "He's good, a fine director," Hopkins said. "He's good to work with, but I don't know if Alec is even interested in [completing] it. We finished filming it a long time ago." Jennifer Love Hewitt starred as the devil. Filming wrapped in March 2001. Story: © 2002 SciFi.com. All Rights Reserved. |
