Harvey Weinstein gets a letter from Moriarity

While I am not naïve or hopeful enough to think that a bit of hot buzz
and a few hundred thousand unique visits to sites like youtube and
slashfilm  will make The Weinstein Company sit up and take  notice or take
OUTLANDER into a wide release, I was still damn happy to see the
AINTITCOOLNEWS.com review/letter to Harvey from their personality-laden
critic, Moriarity.  Lookie here to see what he had to say about OUTLANDER:

Since our first conversation about this in 1996, OUTLANDER has been an
incredible journey for me and for my writing partner, director Howard
McCain.  In the early ’90’s, Howard had seen an article on Vikings in Nat
Geo, and I’d read an article about Viking artifacts in Archeology that same
year.  Funny thing is, Howard & I didn’t even know each other then. But both
of us kept thinking about these stories, remembering THE Viking movie, Kirk Douglas’s  “The Vikings,” and, as it turns out, mulling over the right outpouring of  the idea. In ’96 we met and realized that there was an unexplored aspect to the Viking film as all of us knew it.  Alien. Predator. A  Science Fiction
origin to the Beowulf tale!   We hit upon the idea and started to work on a
script that would take 12 years to bring to the screen.  We wrote a great
script, Howard got a chance to make hay with directing a big, fat Viking Sci
Fi movie and we ended up with something wonderful.  But the drama before,
during and after production is a helluva story in its own right.

This will be a blog about backstory of OUTLANDER, where the “making of” is
as interesting as the movie. But, we’re also talkin’ about the future of
OUTLANDER, where it will be seen, and what our audience thinks.
