I worked at Sony Studios (the old MGM studios) for more than 10 years. There is no respect for Houston as a film town. The people in Austin have bad mouth the bayou city to the point that must film makers don't even consider filming here, they head for Austin. Don't even try to get money for a great project, it is almost impossible. I have a friend who has tried for the last several years to sell a movie based on Candance Mossler. The last time I spoke to him he was still trying to line up backers and trying to sell the deal to one of the cable channels. He was totally into the Candace Mossler thing, which I never heard of until he brought in a stack of old newspapers clipping, I can not image why this was never a big Hollywood movie, could it be the Houston location? It had everything, Huge creepy River Oaks mansion with servants spying on everyone, young wife, old husband, nephew sleeping with uncle's wife, adopted kids picked from newspaper story, old man killed off, wife and nephew charged with murder, showcase trail led by Percy Forman, trail ending with young widow kissing all the male jurors who let her off and the best ending in a movie, young widow suffocates herself while asleep. Oh yea! I should call my buddy and become his first backer on this film.
