- 2:07Speaker 3: It says I told Ned Vankovitch about the idea on
- 2:11Speaker 3: the phone.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Who is Ned Vankovic.
- 2:15Speaker 2: And Bankavic wasn't a former professor at CBN University now
- 2:20Speaker 2: Regent University. He was in the UH film department. He
- 2:28Speaker 2: had told me some information about what had happened with
- 2:35Speaker 2: the ends of what what had happened with me being
- 2:39Speaker 2: whatever happened to me, and was concerned for me that
- 2:45Speaker 2: it was unfair, and he said that he would like to,
- 2:51Speaker 2: you know, go see the the screenplay and thought he
- 2:56Speaker 2: might be all to help. J tored maybe some interest
- 3:01Speaker 2: for it. That's his uh that's his wife was working
- 3:05Speaker 2: for UH, I think university Studios at the time.
- 3:13Speaker 6: So what specifically did mister Bankovich tell him?
- 3:17Speaker 2: He told me how the for the best way of recollection.
- 3:22Speaker 2: The former dean had heard what had happened to me
- 3:30Speaker 2: and was he said it was He said it was
- 3:36Speaker 2: a straw that brought the camel's back when he heard
- 3:38Speaker 2: about the homosexuality and things like that. He actually resigned immediately.
- 3:44Speaker 2: The d resigned. He was students and Ned Bankovitch told
- 3:49Speaker 2: me that he then and he he was he he
- 3:52Speaker 2: left the university immediately.
- 3:55Speaker 7: Uh.
- 3:55Speaker 2: They had a going away party for him. He was replaced. Hed,
- 4:00Speaker 2: he was re replaced by uh, the one gentleman who
- 4:06Speaker 2: was at the meetings that was instrumental and uh uh
- 4:12Speaker 2: might be terminated because of what I had shared. So
- 4:17Speaker 2: he was just letting me know that son, he felt
- 4:22Speaker 2: bad that this was unfair, that it was bigger than
- 4:30Speaker 2: we thought. And UH express interested in helping me at
- 4:34Speaker 2: least with the screenplay.
- 4:37Speaker 8: Mkay.
- 4:38Speaker 3: And this was a conversation in September nineteen ninety two.
- 4:46Speaker 2: I'm I'm guessing that that is the case from the
- 4:49Speaker 2: materials in front of me would be hard to recollect
- 4:51Speaker 2: after so many years.
- 4:53Speaker 1: And did you send it to him?
- 4:55Speaker 2: I believe I did send him a copy of the screenplay? Okay?
- 4:59Speaker 3: And do you know a as of September nineteen ninety two,
- 5:02Speaker 3: in what form the screenplay was in.
- 5:06Speaker 2: I have no idea what what I sent him.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Did you ever go back from mister Vankovich about the screenplay?
- 5:13Speaker 2: I never heard of.
- 5:21Speaker 1: And then it says Victor.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Comma, friend of Nadia, told April nineteen ninety three.
- 5:30Speaker 1: W I'm sorry, go. Okay, what who is Nadia?
- 5:34Speaker 2: Nadia Santino. I believe the last name is is the
- 5:37Speaker 2: party who asked me to go to New York to
- 5:44Speaker 2: pitch the idea to Warner Brother affiliates. She was a
- 5:51Speaker 2: producer in Virginia Beach.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Okay, she was a producer in the Virginia Beach a producer.
- 6:01Speaker 2: From understanding the film ideas shows, how did you meet
- 6:08Speaker 2: this Sittina, I'm not sure exactly how we met with
- 6:12Speaker 2: the details of that meeting.
- 6:14Speaker 9: I know that.
- 6:15Speaker 2: She was working for someone at the time who was
- 6:18Speaker 2: part of So that's my knowledge is like Planet Hollywood
- 6:26Speaker 2: or something, some name of a company in Virginia Beach
- 6:29Speaker 2: that she wanted to be that she was part of that,
- 6:36Speaker 2: and I think meeting this guy there she was working
- 6:39Speaker 2: for him, and so she then I think took interest
- 6:43Speaker 2: in doing something together or working together or something. It
- 6:51Speaker 2: led to her looking at the or hearing the idea
- 6:55Speaker 2: of the screenplay.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Mkay, you said, m she was working with a guy there.
- 7:00Speaker 2: I don't know, it's new, just it wasn't doesn't stick
- 7:03Speaker 2: in my Mind's something that.

- 8:05Speaker 3: Capacity, and as I did you meet her in around
- 8:11Speaker 3: ninety three?
- 8:14Speaker 2: N I from what I see here that would lead
- 8:19Speaker 2: me to believe it wasn't around ninety three.
- 8:22Speaker 1: It was in or around ninety three.
- 8:25Speaker 2: From what I'm looking out on the paper, I'm going

- 9:21Speaker 2: She was a single mom. I'm not mistaken the godfather
- 9:28Speaker 2: of her daughter. What's Lenny Coco? Lenny Coco is under
- 9:39Speaker 2: the Mornmo's label, so.
- 9:49Speaker 5: Was under the.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Rom minderstanding you have chos Uh Warner Brothers is his label?
- 10:03Speaker 2: I fro won'ta understand if you will. She apparently told
- 10:16Speaker 2: him about the script or showed him it. She related
- 10:24Speaker 2: to me, as it says here on the page, that
- 10:29Speaker 2: he was interested, thought he might be able to do
- 10:33Speaker 2: something with it. We were invited up to his home.
- 10:39Speaker 2: I'm not sure all who went. I know where he
- 10:41Speaker 2: could ball at in a company to be along with Naunia.
- 10:48Speaker 2: We went up to Monday Coco's home in New York
- 10:53Speaker 2: and uh, you have me pitch the uh screenplay the idea?
- 11:00Speaker 11: Explain it?
- 11:04Speaker 2: He had me from understand play the music that I
- 11:08Speaker 2: had composed with Alan Grace that was submitted to Warner Miners.
- 11:15Speaker 2: He had me go through the entire basically begin to
- 11:22Speaker 2: go through the entire screenplay in that during that presentation,
- 11:30Speaker 2: he got up and UH said he was gonna make
- 11:36Speaker 2: a call, and he called Warner Brothers. He said, I
- 11:41Speaker 2: I would understand. It was one of her vice presidents
- 11:45Speaker 2: who was a friend of his. Signs I mentioned and
- 11:49Speaker 2: he told him something to the fact that if someone
- 11:52Speaker 2: you have to speak speak with, I'd likely to speak
- 11:54Speaker 2: with in the year as a hero's idea, not something
- 11:59Speaker 2: exact words, but that was the gist of it. I
- 12:03Speaker 2: then got on the phone and relayed this what I
- 12:08Speaker 2: had done to Lenny, description of detail of the screen
- 12:12Speaker 2: and playing CYC discuss the concept. After that, he UH
- 12:23Speaker 2: listened to the entire time, and he's told me that
- 12:27Speaker 2: HM to know I in words to the effect of
- 12:31Speaker 2: the sounds revolutionary, it sounds original, sounds ideal, We're making
- 12:36Speaker 2: this worse. To that effect, he gave me explicit instructions
- 12:41Speaker 2: on how to submit it and who to submit it to.
- 12:47Speaker 2: He went so in so far as to say that
- 12:51Speaker 2: Robert Niro was in town film for Warner Brothers. In
- 12:55Speaker 2: a in a role I think it was analyzed this
- 12:57Speaker 2: and that what would I think of him being the
- 13:00Speaker 2: lead the Jim Slash the role of course would be
- 13:05Speaker 2: the young writer. At the time, I was so excited
- 13:09Speaker 2: that where Brothers would be interested in my piece, and
- 13:11Speaker 2: then when I was being told was going to be
- 13:12Speaker 2: made that of course I agreed. I said that sounds wonderful.
- 13:19Speaker 2: I told him my view for other characters too that
- 13:24Speaker 2: I thought would be wonderful, such as the architect role.
- 13:27Speaker 2: I had told him that I thought Dustin Hoffman would
- 13:30Speaker 2: be perfect. We had a very nice discussion such as that.
- 13:37Speaker 2: He then, of course gave us the explicit instructions of
- 13:40Speaker 2: how to smith. He said he had a friend named
- 13:43Speaker 2: Elizabeth and that she would make sure he got in
- 13:47Speaker 2: the hands of the UH Story Department person Diane Bellis.
- 13:54Speaker 2: The directions and information gave us we then gave to
- 13:57Speaker 2: Nadia's friend the attorney, who then composed the submission letter
- 14:03Speaker 2: and send a certified meal to Warner Brothers directly to
- 14:06Speaker 2: the parties in the address that we were specifically given
- 14:08Speaker 2: to do by the Warner Brothers e back. My understanding
- 14:13Speaker 2: was that my doing so there then would be a
- 14:18Speaker 2: talk on whatever greement would be arranged to see the
- 14:26Speaker 2: project through.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Did mister Poco tell you who this person was?
- 14:40Speaker 2: He did at the time, as he did, he was
- 14:42Speaker 2: very affront.
- 14:45Speaker 3: Do you recall anything about this person other than that
- 14:48Speaker 3: he was a Warner.
- 14:48Speaker 5: Brothers by the pusson.
- 14:50Speaker 2: I don't recall at the moment. I have just looked
- 14:52Speaker 2: and see if I have need to write him down
- 14:53Speaker 2: on his name?
- 14:54Speaker 1: Where would you look?
- 14:56Speaker 12: I don't know.
- 14:58Speaker 10: How you.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Since you filed the Saws name, I haven't found anything yet.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Have you looked?
- 15:06Speaker 2: I have tried to think about what that name might
- 15:08Speaker 2: have been.
- 15:12Speaker 3: So have you looked to see if you have anything
- 15:15Speaker 3: written yet about that name?
- 15:23Speaker 2: No, I haven't. I haven't searched out anything.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Now, you mentioned that mister Koco Uh is a singer
- 15:32Speaker 3: on the Warner Brothers label.
- 15:34Speaker 2: From my understanding, from what I was, it was there
- 15:38Speaker 2: was a lot of information coming at the time. That's
- 15:41Speaker 2: the impression I had, Okay.
- 15:42Speaker 1: And was this vice president someone he worked with?
- 15:48Speaker 2: My understanding was it was something he someone who trusted
- 15:51Speaker 2: and was a friend. Besides being within the organization, mkay, but.
- 15:56Speaker 3: Uh within the record label organization, within Warner Brothers.
- 16:01Speaker 1: But do you know where?
- 16:04Speaker 2: Well, from my understanding it was New York offices that
- 16:06Speaker 2: it was a musing problem.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Do you know anything else?
- 16:16Speaker 2: I haven't found anything in my notes yet. All I
- 16:23Speaker 2: know is that it happened, that it leaves a vivid image.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Now you, when you refer to note your notes, have
- 16:31Speaker 3: you provided all the notes that you have found to
- 16:34Speaker 3: your attorneys?
- 16:34Speaker 1: Everything that I can?
- 16:37Speaker 2: There's a lot to go through.
- 16:40Speaker 1: What do you mean there's a lot to go through.
- 16:41Speaker 2: There's a lot of notes.
- 16:42Speaker 5: Okay?
- 16:43Speaker 1: Have you have you gone through all your notes?
- 16:48Speaker 2: Repeat the quoth I rephrase the question.
- 16:50Speaker 3: Well, I asked if you've given all of your notes
- 16:52Speaker 3: to your attorney, and you said yes, and and you
- 16:55Speaker 3: said there's a lot to go through.
- 16:57Speaker 1: My question is have you gone through everything?
- 17:00Speaker 2: The best of my knowledge? There is a proponents of
- 17:06Speaker 2: evidents like given when I have to attorney, then if
- 17:11Speaker 2: we was discovered anymore, we would certainly pass it on.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Okay. So you spoke to this Warner Brothers vice president
- 17:37Speaker 1: in New York in the music office, is correct, And
- 17:42Speaker 1: you spoke to that.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Person on the fund is the best of my ability?
- 17:46Speaker 9: Best?
- 17:46Speaker 1: Okay?
- 17:46Speaker 2: That would be pretty sufficient.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Okay? And then you part of that.
- 17:53Speaker 3: You discussed casting, and you said that you had Dustin
- 17:57Speaker 3: Hoffmann in mind for the architect role.
- 18:00Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it was casting. I would say he
- 18:02Speaker 2: was talking. He was excited about the piece. The impression
- 18:06Speaker 2: I had. He was saying that Robert Seniro was in
- 18:08Speaker 2: the town. What do you think of him for this role?
- 18:11Speaker 2: Of course, I agreed. I then shared, you know, you
- 18:14Speaker 2: was talking about the piece, and I shared the what
- 18:16Speaker 2: I envisioned as who I pictured when I was writing
- 18:19Speaker 2: an architect role or the you know, the Hitler role.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Okay, that was my question. There's no architect in the Immortals, correct.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Mm Hitler is an architect, Okay, there is the role. Okay.
- 18:33Speaker 1: So you had mister Hoffman in mind for Hitler?
- 18:35Speaker 2: Yes, I did. I thought of the ideal.
- 18:52Speaker 3: And then this vice president gave you instructions about how
- 18:56Speaker 3: to submit to his friend named Elizabeth.
- 18:58Speaker 11: That's right.
- 18:59Speaker 2: That's why the letterhead okay.

- 27:10Speaker 4: If you got a return scene?

- 27:28Speaker 3: where it says on behalf of my clients plural?
- 27:31Speaker 1: Yes, okay, do you know who mister Boyd.
- 27:33Speaker 2: Was referring to? I'm not sure. I'd I would conjecture.

- 27:59Speaker 4: Script, oh, there's what?
- 28:01Speaker 1: What would Miss Satino's role then?
- 28:03Speaker 4: Do you know?
- 28:05Speaker 2: I don't believe she would have had a role.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Would she have received any compensation? W Did you have
- 28:12Speaker 1: an agreement? I'm sorry? S extract that. Did you have
- 28:13Speaker 1: an agreement with Miss Satina?
- 28:15Speaker 4: What do you mean?
- 28:16Speaker 2: Nould it not have an agreement?
- 28:20Speaker 1: And then it says enclosed.
- 28:23Speaker 3: Please find various materials pertaining to the work that was
- 28:27Speaker 3: created by Thomas p alcaz Comma. The immortals included, specifically,
- 28:33Speaker 3: are an extended story treatment will stop there?
- 28:37Speaker 8: Right?
- 28:37Speaker 1: Do you know what he's referring to their the extended
- 28:40Speaker 1: story treatment.
- 28:43Speaker 14: Yes, I believe I do.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Okay, what do you believe he's referring.
- 28:46Speaker 2: To you'd be there are ten or eleven pages or
- 28:49Speaker 2: so of the story triff, which is telling you all
- 28:55Speaker 2: about what the story is about.
- 28:57Speaker 16: Mkay?
- 28:57Speaker 1: And are those the single space pages? Would and looking
- 29:00Speaker 1: at and Exhibits three and exhibit five.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Let me tariler what you were heard about.
- 29:05Speaker 1: First, you have the exhibit in friend of Yo Exhibits.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Three with the persons. Yeah, okay, this is a story treatment.
- 29:22Speaker 2: I mean, it is a story treatment. So this would
- 29:24Speaker 2: be either d one or a version of the one
- 29:27Speaker 2: that went to him.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Okay, And you don't know, uh, exactly what was sent
- 29:33Speaker 3: what mister Boyd sent with respect to the story treatment.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Well as far as say it's ten and story cheer
- 29:39Speaker 2: and I don't you wanna I'm lina be the long
- 29:41Speaker 2: one if you wanted the long one.
- 29:42Speaker 12: So if this is a.
- 29:46Speaker 2: If it's just like ten or so pages, then is
- 29:49Speaker 2: it'll probably be just like this?
- 29:51Speaker 1: Okay, we're similar and this is the story trigger and
- 29:55Speaker 1: Exhibit three.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Sorry.
- 29:58Speaker 1: That's fine, it's partly my job there.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, and then the next line is a partial
- 30:05Speaker 3: script which covers acts.
- 30:07Speaker 1: One and two.
- 30:09Speaker 2: I got it.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Okay, Uh do you know?
- 30:17Speaker 7: Uh?
- 30:18Speaker 1: Do you know what that means?
- 30:20Speaker 2: I think he's not really well versed in screenplays because
- 30:25Speaker 2: there's only two acts in the screenplay. So I think
- 30:29Speaker 2: he's just trying to be covering, to the best of
- 30:32Speaker 2: his words, describing it.
- 30:34Speaker 1: There's only two acts in your screenplays.
- 30:36Speaker 2: There's act one of that two basically again, yeah, in
- 30:40Speaker 2: theater you have basically two acts. In screenplays, you know,
- 30:44Speaker 2: Telegond has from my knowledge, two acts.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Okay, So is there anything to your knowledge in the
- 30:56Speaker 3: Mortal Script that mister Boyd did not send.
- 31:00Speaker 5: To Warner Brothers.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Nothing. I can't think of anything he wouldn't have sent. Okay.
- 31:04Speaker 2: He seems like he was very thorough, almost too thorough.
- 31:08Speaker 1: What do you mean by that?
- 31:10Speaker 2: Cause he was reaching beyond his means to describe it.
- 31:12Speaker 2: He was trying to fill in blanks that he didn't
- 31:14Speaker 2: know what he did include all the materials.
- 31:16Speaker 1: It looks like, okay, says a character guide sheet.
- 31:19Speaker 2: What is that? A character guide sheet? I believe he's
- 31:22Speaker 2: what he's referring to as a a character breakdown, which
- 31:26Speaker 2: you do in the theater also, so it would list
- 31:28Speaker 2: the roles, and it would list UH descriptions of each
- 31:31Speaker 2: of the.
- 31:31Speaker 17: Characters, and then a tape of the song suggested for
- 31:37Speaker 17: the opening closing credits, accompanied by a guide sheet explaining.
- 31:41Speaker 1: These several songs. Yes, kay, now is that the Alan
- 31:45Speaker 1: Parsons and the George Michael songs.
- 31:47Speaker 2: It would be Alan Parson's George Michael and Uh, I
- 31:52Speaker 2: believe it's called Mortals Transport was the working title for
- 31:56Speaker 2: the song I and Alan Grace composed, which was music
- 32:02Speaker 2: that we submitted along with those suggestive t for the
- 32:06Speaker 2: music to interplay between Act one and Act too, to
- 32:09Speaker 2: allow the odd audience the bridge between the two periods.
- 32:13Speaker 1: And you're not claiming that the the song that you
- 32:20Speaker 1: composed was infringed in the Matrix films.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Correct, We're still we're still exploring the music submission, the
- 32:28Speaker 2: music smission style, and the sounds of that piece definitely
- 32:34Speaker 2: have a somewhat similar, if not similar to I guess
- 32:42Speaker 2: to UH one of the Matrix films. UH inserts it's
- 32:45Speaker 2: very softly inserted. But I've noticed it now that my
- 32:49Speaker 2: attorneys haveing research in So, yes, I think the music
- 32:53Speaker 2: was the music I submitted in Allen Grace had composed
- 32:55Speaker 2: with me definitely was influential in the Matrix film.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Also, do you know which Watrix film?
- 33:07Speaker 2: Of course I was getting ill as I was watching
- 33:09Speaker 2: them and taking breaks, but I do believe that it
- 33:11Speaker 2: was when he tries to revive her or something with
- 33:16Speaker 2: his hand to start her hard again. I'm sorry, I'm
- 33:20Speaker 2: not a big fan of the film.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Hey, your script is quite violent, isn't it.
- 33:36Speaker 2: What I was doing was turning into art my experiences,
- 33:41Speaker 2: in part so by relaying that it was in a sense,
- 33:47Speaker 2: I don't know if the words cathartic, but in a
- 33:49Speaker 2: way to translate some of the pain and maybe give
- 33:55Speaker 2: hope to others. In part so, Yeah, there is violence
- 34:00Speaker 2: in there, and it does move me. The violence has
- 34:07Speaker 2: inserted in mine. I believe it is inserted. It's in
- 34:10Speaker 2: integral to the story to tell the story, not for
- 34:15Speaker 2: two of his.
- 34:15Speaker 4: Reasons at all.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Okay Uh.
- 34:29Speaker 6: Going back to mister Boyd's letter, it says, my clients
- 34:32Speaker 6: have previously submitted this work to several cable and regional
- 34:36Speaker 6: production studios. What cables in regional production studios had you
- 34:42Speaker 6: submitted the Immortals to?
- 34:43Speaker 2: I think what he's doing there? Is he simply referring
- 34:46Speaker 2: to naughtyas Entino's Is it Planet Video? I'm not sure
- 34:50Speaker 2: exactly what the phrase was, but I think sh he's
- 34:53Speaker 2: referring to that naughtiest company had seen the story.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Any uh? Had you sent it to any other?
- 35:02Speaker 2: I send it to Ned May even he's not a
- 35:04Speaker 2: cable he's a professor. And when the gallery finished, I'm sorry,
- 35:08Speaker 2: I might have no idea, I'm sorry, and.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Uh, any other cable or regional production studios as of
- 35:21Speaker 1: June twenty fifth, nineteen ninety three, not that I can
- 35:25Speaker 1: recall it all.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Uh.
- 35:34Speaker 18: And it says that those there had to finish that
- 35:39Speaker 18: sentence that you had previously submitted this work to several
- 35:42Speaker 18: cable and regional production studios with favorable responses.
- 35:48Speaker 1: What do you know what mister Boyd was referring to.
- 35:52Speaker 2: I think he's referring to Planet Video.
- 35:54Speaker 1: What was the response from Planet Video?
- 35:58Speaker 10: Bless you?
- 36:00Speaker 8: That's sure?
- 36:04Speaker 2: Mm, Planet Video, if I recall correctly, actually had some
- 36:11Speaker 2: kind of offer, but it was very very meager.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Was that offer?
- 36:19Speaker 5: In writing?
- 36:21Speaker 2: M I don't recall, I just recall an offer. It
- 36:25Speaker 2: didn't mean much to bless Y?
- 36:27Speaker 8: Is me, I can't.
- 36:42Speaker 3: Okay, mister Boyd sends this letter on or about June
- 36:46Speaker 3: twenty fifth, nineteen ninety three.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Actually, do you know whether this letter was actually sent?
- 36:50Speaker 2: Oh, he's absolutely sent. Yes, he made it certain to
- 36:52Speaker 2: me in several Warner rooms.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Okay, so mister Boyd told you it was sent.
- 36:57Speaker 2: He told me it was sent and it had been received.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Which did you see a receipt?
- 37:03Speaker 1: So he told you it was sent and had been received.
- 37:05Speaker 2: Yes, that's why he sent a certified letter. And then
- 37:11Speaker 2: what happened, for the best of my knowledge, sometime and
- 37:16Speaker 2: a little time had passed elapsed, And so I would
- 37:18Speaker 2: do what a writer would do, I believe, is to
- 37:21Speaker 2: a follow up call.
- 37:25Speaker 1: And you did a follow up called with whom I went.
- 37:28Speaker 2: By the basis of the information the executive has given me,
- 37:30Speaker 2: and contacted Diane Dallas.
- 37:37Speaker 1: And was that by the phone?
- 37:39Speaker 2: It was by phone?
- 37:41Speaker 1: And did you speak to miss Bellis?
- 37:42Speaker 2: I did speak to miss Bellis.
- 37:43Speaker 8: Okay.
- 37:44Speaker 1: What a miss Bellis told.
- 37:46Speaker 2: Is the best of my recollection. She told me that
- 37:49Speaker 2: she had been a receipt of the storage on the screenplay.
- 37:55Speaker 2: She said something to the fact that she did not
- 37:58Speaker 2: believe that anyone would be interested in a film involving Hitler,
- 38:08Speaker 2: I guess at that time, and but that she had
- 38:19Speaker 2: received the materials, and on that basis, in that discussion
- 38:29Speaker 2: I had, I obviously knew that my materials were received,
- 38:33Speaker 2: but I felt that the project was for all intent
- 38:35Speaker 2: and purposes, basically dead in the water at that point.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Did you take any notes of this meeting of this spells?
- 38:52Speaker 2: I honestly don't recall if I did. My my nature
- 38:55Speaker 2: is that I probably would. I mean, that's how I yeah,
- 39:03Speaker 2: I probably would have.
- 39:05Speaker 1: You looked for those notes.
- 39:08Speaker 2: I have turned over the materials we have to my attorney.
- 39:11Speaker 2: They could be within those notes. If I find any
- 39:17Speaker 2: of the materials, I'll certainly make them available. And of
- 39:21Speaker 2: course we're getting heard everything that as to all housecaping.
- 39:34Speaker 3: Uh alright, So you had this call of misspellas about
- 39:37Speaker 3: how long after June.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Twenty fifth together?
- 39:43Speaker 2: The general rule of thumb, for my understanding is that
- 39:46Speaker 2: you wait about two weeks. I believe I learned that
- 39:53Speaker 2: from screenwriting classes. Knowing myself, I would stick to that role.
- 40:02Speaker 2: So I would assume that two weeks later or so
- 40:04Speaker 2: I called her, so early to mid July that seems
- 40:09Speaker 2: to be mathematically correct.
- 40:18Speaker 5: Uh.
- 40:19Speaker 1: And then what else, if anything, did you do after
- 40:23Speaker 1: you spoke to as well?
- 40:25Speaker 2: Sure there was interest.
- 40:33Speaker 14: From Uh.
- 40:37Speaker 2: One of my roommates was working on a film with
- 40:45Speaker 2: the people that were doing in the water World. One
- 40:54Speaker 2: of the gentlemen on the film, she had related about
- 40:57Speaker 2: my screenplay and he asked to see it.
- 41:00Speaker 11: Uh.
- 41:02Speaker 1: And that's mister.
- 41:03Speaker 15: Fowler, I you know more than I do this wine,
- 41:05Speaker 15: I guess, yeah, okay.
- 41:07Speaker 1: So let's stick with Warner Brothers for a second run.
- 41:10Speaker 1: After you spoke to missus Ballas, did you do anything else?
- 41:14Speaker 3: Did you have any other communications with Warner Brothers regarding
- 41:17Speaker 3: your script?
- 41:17Speaker 2: I did? Okay? What was that? I believe it was
- 41:21Speaker 2: in ninety six when I enter around the time I
- 41:27Speaker 2: came out to work under Ellen Gear's direction. She'd ask
- 41:33Speaker 2: me to come out and be elite. In one of
- 41:35Speaker 2: her shows, said that she took one UCLA student gradd
- 41:40Speaker 2: student a year and launched her film career. And she
- 41:44Speaker 2: said she made a exception that year and took me
- 41:47Speaker 2: and said that she would launched my film career. I
- 41:51Speaker 2: did her show, I showed her my script, and I
- 41:59Speaker 2: don't rec whether it was under her encouragement. Or not.
- 42:01Speaker 2: But I did contact Diane Bellis again as I had
- 42:09Speaker 2: been I had seen or I had heard or seen
- 42:14Speaker 2: clips or something about Schindler's List and Swing Kids, and
- 42:25Speaker 2: was made aware that that included Nazi Germany, so I
- 42:30Speaker 2: thought there was a possibility Diane Bellis might then be
- 42:34Speaker 2: interested when considering what she had told me on the
- 42:37Speaker 2: phone that I had first submitted. I called Warner Brother's
- 42:42Speaker 2: offices and received U. Got with the secretary and asked
- 42:48Speaker 2: to speak to Diane Bellis if possible, and she asked
- 42:52Speaker 2: me who I was, and I said Thomas auld House,
- 42:56Speaker 2: and she said, did she go if she could vote me?
- 43:02Speaker 2: I waited a little bit on hold, and then thinking
- 43:04Speaker 2: this wasn't gonna go anywhere, because you know how many
- 43:08Speaker 2: calls is your studio has probably received from the scriptwriters.
- 43:12Speaker 2: The phone did then activate again, and it was Diane
- 43:16Speaker 2: Bella's and she began with the words to the effect of,
- 43:23Speaker 2: if not you're a exact quote, I remember who you
- 43:26Speaker 2: are next time s I was submitted through an agent,
- 43:31Speaker 2: so we're both protected, and it in the hindsight shirt.
- 43:38Speaker 2: But at the time it it just didn't it just
- 43:42Speaker 2: wrong sort of the non statement I believe she instructed
- 43:49Speaker 2: me to go ahead and submit it again since I
- 43:53Speaker 2: had told her what I had observed through an agent.
- 43:59Speaker 2: I believe she was so, you know, if we were
- 44:01Speaker 2: both protected again, she was redurating that.
- 44:06Speaker 14: And so from when I was.
- 44:08Speaker 2: Working a wheel Gear theater and having the encouragements from
- 44:13Speaker 2: Ellen Gear saying that you know, you know you have
- 44:17Speaker 2: star quality, You're going to make it in this business.
- 44:19Speaker 2: And she was also I'm a teacher at UCLA. She
- 44:23Speaker 2: was encouraging me. So I resubmitted my work in ninety
- 44:28Speaker 2: six to Warner Brothers.
- 44:34Speaker 1: And through you did.
- 44:37Speaker 2: I did it myself that time because it was already
- 44:40Speaker 2: clear it had been protected, and I had no reason
- 44:46Speaker 2: not to trust Warner Brothers. I respected the organization of
- 44:49Speaker 2: the time and and believed they would be forthright and
- 44:53Speaker 2: had cor expressed such interest before.
- 44:55Speaker 1: H Do you have any records of this second.
- 44:59Speaker 2: Some I know Ellen I may have shared with Ellen Gear.
- 45:07Speaker 2: I remember sending it into vanilla envelope. I don't know
- 45:11Speaker 2: if it's included in the notes I submitted. It's pretty
- 45:15Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff we gave over.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Did you have did you include a cover letter?
- 45:21Speaker 2: I would, I would essentially I'm sure I would include.
- 45:24Speaker 11: A cover letter.
- 45:24Speaker 2: I would have to be.
- 45:29Speaker 1: Did you keep a copy of that letter?
- 45:33Speaker 2: I don't recall if I have a copy of the letter.
- 45:37Speaker 1: How did you send it?
- 45:39Speaker 2: I remember the vanilla envelope, I remember sending it. I
- 45:43Speaker 2: think it was regular mail. I was definitely pitching pennies.
- 45:56Speaker 1: And did you receive any response to the second submission?
- 46:00Speaker 3: I did not hear back, and Y, you said earlier
- 46:09Speaker 3: it was already clear that it had been protected.
- 46:11Speaker 2: What does that mean, Well, when it was submitted through
- 46:15Speaker 2: the attorney's boarding void with a certified letter that had
- 46:18Speaker 2: been received that The understanding I had at the time
- 46:24Speaker 2: was that, first of all, there was no reason for
- 46:27Speaker 2: me to doubt were brothers at the time, and I
- 46:30Speaker 2: felt that that established that it was my work obviously,
- 46:34Speaker 2: if its stated certified mail had submitted, and with the
- 46:40Speaker 2: other aspects that were part of that, such as the
- 46:42Speaker 2: notary and the registration of the writer's guilt and from
- 46:49Speaker 2: the copyright attorney, it told me. Y.
- 47:00Speaker 3: You also said you were explain to me what Ms
- 47:02Speaker 3: Bellis told you on the phone in nineteen ninety six,
- 47:08Speaker 3: and you said you started to say in hindsight, but
- 47:12Speaker 3: I don't think you finished that sentence.
- 47:13Speaker 2: What would can you read me back to context of
- 47:15Speaker 2: what I was saying.
- 47:16Speaker 1: You're like an answer.
- 47:17Speaker 3: You were explaining that Ms Bellis said, I remember who
- 47:20Speaker 3: you are next time submit through an agent, so we
- 47:22Speaker 3: were both protected.
- 47:23Speaker 1: And then you started to say in hindsight, oh.
- 47:28Speaker 2: I believe what I'm referring to. What I was referring to,
- 47:30Speaker 2: and it was not an intended statement to make. Obviously,
- 47:33Speaker 2: if I interducted in hindsight, that would probably be me
- 47:38Speaker 2: reacting to our current setting and conditions that I feel
- 47:42Speaker 2: my trust has been betrayed. Obviously, my life's work is
- 47:51Speaker 2: not under my name at this point, as far as
- 47:53Speaker 2: the public announce, it's in someone else's hands and done badly.
- 48:11Speaker 3: And after your nineteen ninety six call with Ms Bellis,
- 48:16Speaker 3: did you have any further.
- 48:17Speaker 1: Communications with Warner Brothers or anyone you interested to be
- 48:21Speaker 1: this I did.
- 48:22Speaker 2: You're so thorough. I'm sure you have a letter.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Well, why don't you tell me what let's have.
- 48:28Speaker 2: And you'll make sure I have the right date. I
- 48:31Speaker 2: believe it's center around nineteen ninety what was it, No,
- 48:35Speaker 2: maybe two thousand and one?
- 48:37Speaker 1: Tell you that, right, go ahead and tell me what
- 48:41Speaker 1: you're talking about.
- 48:43Speaker 2: It was actually the head of your legal department. I'm
- 48:45Speaker 2: not mistake in the PEMBLA Kersh, which is interesting.
- 48:52Speaker 1: And you contacted miss Kersh.
- 48:55Speaker 2: I contacted Warner Brothers after seeing Demolition Man.
- 49:06Speaker 1: Okay, so you went to see deml Do you see
- 49:08Speaker 1: Demolition Man in the theater?
- 49:11Speaker 2: I believe that was on it. W I saw part
- 49:14Speaker 2: of it on videotape. Again, I couldn't watch the whole thing.
- 49:18Speaker 5: Okay, it made me ill.
- 49:20Speaker 1: Alright, So you saw Demolition Man in part in part?
- 49:24Speaker 1: And then which and and why did you contact Warner Brothers?
- 49:29Speaker 2: I contacted Warner Brothers to inquire and also.
- 49:36Speaker 12: To question.
- 49:40Speaker 2: Whether there was any involvement with my screenplay. I guess
- 49:45Speaker 2: is would be the right answer.
- 49:50Speaker 3: What about Demolition Man caused you to contact Warner Brothers?
- 49:56Speaker 2: Well, the thing that stood out to me and Demolition
- 49:58Speaker 2: Man was the cryogenic I guess you'd call cryogenic use
- 50:04Speaker 2: of being stored and brought back.
- 50:07Speaker 10: Uh.
- 50:08Speaker 2: The protagonist is brought back to pursue the villain. Basically,
- 50:17Speaker 2: he's learning things through I don't recall everything from it.
- 50:24Speaker 2: I just remember that he had he had downloader learned
- 50:26Speaker 2: the information or something I think while in a cryjen state.
- 50:31Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm sure there were other elements too
- 50:41Speaker 2: that the I'm sure the letter made clear.
- 50:54Speaker 3: Now, is it your testimony that the concept of somewhat
- 51:00Speaker 3: being restored in a cryogenic state and then brought back
- 51:03Speaker 3: to pursue.
- 51:03Speaker 1: A villain is original to you?
- 51:05Speaker 9: No?
- 51:05Speaker 2: Certainly not.
- 51:06Speaker 1: Okay, So what is it about demolition Man that made
- 51:11Speaker 1: you think that it was somehow.
- 51:14Speaker 2: Related to your spirit? How wol did the letter you
- 51:16Speaker 2: ever bde me to look at him?
- 51:23Speaker 3: And you did?
- 51:24Speaker 1: You con so you sent a letter, right?
- 51:28Speaker 5: And then?
- 51:31Speaker 8: Uh?
- 51:32Speaker 1: And that letter was addressed to whom would you recall.
- 51:37Speaker 2: I I don't really recall if as to whom you
- 51:39Speaker 2: may concerned or not? Oh, I don't recall.
- 51:43Speaker 1: And then you heard back from an attorney.
- 51:47Speaker 2: Uh, if I'm not mistaken, I heard back from Kinda
- 51:50Speaker 2: kursh Okay.
- 51:52Speaker 1: And what did miss Kersh tell you? Was that any
- 51:54Speaker 1: writing or I'm sorry, I'm asking a bunch of questions.
- 51:57Speaker 2: All at the same time. It's okay, this is where
- 51:58Speaker 2: I'm talking about each other.
- 52:00Speaker 1: Was there was that?
- 52:02Speaker 2: Uh?
- 52:02Speaker 1: Did you receive a call or did you receive a letter?
- 52:05Speaker 2: I believe I received a call okay, which came first
- 52:10Speaker 2: the letter? Okay, I believe, And what did the letter say,
- 52:17Speaker 2: if I recall correctly, best of my knowledge was that
- 52:21Speaker 2: it would be looked into and they would get back
- 52:26Speaker 2: to me basically, okay.
- 52:36Speaker 1: And then you received a call.
- 52:39Speaker 2: Do I believe I did speak with her?
- 52:40Speaker 1: Okay?
- 52:41Speaker 16: Did you call her?
- 52:41Speaker 2: Did she call it? I think I followed up with
- 52:46Speaker 2: a call and thank her looking into the matter, okay.
- 52:52Speaker 1: And then what happened.
- 52:56Speaker 2: About if I'm not mistaken, a year later, I was
- 53:00Speaker 2: informed whether there was mail or or or on the phone,
- 53:03Speaker 2: at least there was a letter where I was informed
- 53:06Speaker 2: that nothing had been found. And I remember speaking to
- 53:13Speaker 2: hambl Up and thanking her for looking into it and
- 53:19Speaker 2: taking the time that could be and I didn't pursue
- 53:24Speaker 2: the matter further. I I trusted Warner Brothers at that
- 53:28Speaker 2: point that that was true.
- 53:33Speaker 1: And were these communications regarding.
- 53:38Speaker 19: Demolition Man UH the last communications you had with Warner
- 53:42Speaker 19: Brothers regarding UH the Immortal Script prior to the time
- 53:48Speaker 19: you thought this lawsuit.
- 53:49Speaker 2: There was definitely as before the lass and spot.
- 53:52Speaker 3: Unders understood between those communications and the lawsuit, did you
- 53:55Speaker 3: have any other communications with.
- 53:57Speaker 4: Warner Brothers.
- 54:00Speaker 2: Before the lawsuit. I can't recall any.
- 54:12Speaker 1: Now going back.

- 54:23Speaker 3: your nineteen ninety three letter from mister Boyd's or other
- 54:29Speaker 3: than the return receipt that mister Boyd. Well, mister Boyd
- 54:37Speaker 3: told you it had been received from what you.
- 54:38Speaker 1: Would inferred that he received the receipt, Okay, did you
- 54:42Speaker 1: receive any other written confirmation of the receipt.
- 54:45Speaker 2: Of your script?
- 54:50Speaker 9: I did not.
- 54:51Speaker 2: It was the attorney had on the matter.
- 54:53Speaker 1: And do you know what other than that receipt he
- 54:55Speaker 1: would have received? He I'm sorry, let me ask, do
- 54:57Speaker 1: you know what other than that receipt he received?
- 55:01Speaker 2: I do not know if he spoke to them in
- 55:03Speaker 2: person or not. I just know that he did follow
- 55:05Speaker 2: the instructions that from this from what the executives said
- 55:09Speaker 2: to do.
- 55:10Speaker 3: So you don't know if he received a letter or
- 55:13Speaker 3: a phone call or anything correct I can recollect.
- 55:19Speaker 1: Have you made any efforts to contact mister Boyd or
- 55:22Speaker 1: this law.
- 55:22Speaker 2: Sing, Well, I did talk to mister Boyd.
- 55:28Speaker 4: S some point.
- 55:30Speaker 2: I did speak to him.
- 55:32Speaker 1: And what did he tell you?
- 55:33Speaker 2: You remembered who I was?
- 55:35Speaker 4: Okay?
- 55:36Speaker 2: He was interested in what was going on. He said
- 55:40Speaker 2: that he did remember sending it, if I recall correctly,
- 55:48Speaker 2: and that you'd be willing to speak on my hat.
- 55:54Speaker 1: Did you ask him whether he maintained any files?
- 55:58Speaker 2: I may have asked him to look at into it,
- 56:00Speaker 2: but I didn't ask him to to do anything that point.
- 56:05Speaker 2: When was this conversation, I couldn't give you an exact date.
- 56:09Speaker 2: It was after I believe it's when we follow a
- 56:13Speaker 2: suit h h h.
- 57:34Speaker 1: Alright, you were telling me about mister Fowler.
- 57:38Speaker 2: Mister fra Keith Tyller.
- 57:39Speaker 1: I believe mistake this, okay? And who was Keith Fower?
- 57:42Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken?
- 57:44Speaker 11: I believe he was the.
- 57:47Speaker 2: Gentleman who was in charge of I guess the sound
- 57:50Speaker 2: department on the film Wanner World. And I believe that
- 57:53Speaker 2: was Universal Studios.
- 57:57Speaker 1: And how did you come to meet mister Fowler?
- 58:00Speaker 2: My one roommate who was working with him, I guess
- 58:06Speaker 2: at the time on the film had shared with him
- 58:12Speaker 2: about my particular screenplay.
- 58:15Speaker 3: Kay, And.
- 58:24Speaker 1: Uh did you speak with this? Did you personally speak
- 58:27Speaker 1: with this rebel without the screenplay?
- 58:29Speaker 11: Yes?
- 58:30Speaker 2: I believe my dad, okay?
- 58:32Speaker 1: And what were the circumstances of that?
- 58:34Speaker 2: He asked to see at least a portion of it,
- 58:42Speaker 2: and did.
- 58:43Speaker 1: You provide that time my dad? Did you provide him
- 58:45Speaker 1: the whole thing?
- 58:46Speaker 2: No? At that time I didn't. I didn't feel it
- 58:49Speaker 2: was necessary. Why not? I had heard that in that
- 58:54Speaker 2: that in screenwriting class that if you're not doing a
- 58:59Speaker 2: submission official submission, sometimes it's better just to submit the
- 59:03Speaker 2: story treatment or maybe parts of the screenplay.
- 59:07Speaker 1: And when you see in screenwriting.
- 59:09Speaker 4: Class or.
- 59:12Speaker 2: I believe that would be the one at Regent University,
- 59:14Speaker 2: you ever seen me in university?
- 59:21Speaker 1: Do you recall what portions you provided to mister about.
- 59:27Speaker 2: I believe I sent Act one to him.
- 59:32Speaker 1: And in your view, where what is the dividing line
- 59:34Speaker 1: between Act one and Act two?
- 59:37Speaker 2: Act one and O two is significantly divided by the music?
- 59:40Speaker 2: I submitted to Warner Brothers that that interlude is a
- 59:43Speaker 2: is a transitional scene that divides Act.
- 59:45Speaker 11: One in Doc two.
- 59:46Speaker 1: In my mind, in terms of the story, where does
- 59:48Speaker 1: Act one and then act to begin?
- 59:50Speaker 2: Act one would be after Jim For the New York character, basically,
- 59:57Speaker 2: Jim loses his daughter and is left without anything after
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: he's brought back in the future, are are to revived
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: from the cryogenics and goes to look up his daughter
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: and his daughter dies in his arms. That's the the
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: act one okay. Act two we joined him in the
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: future with the interlude, and that leads us to the
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: train station scene that is used in Matris. Okay.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: So the scene with Jim and his daughter, that is
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: itself in the future from the beginning.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: It is a it's a sec It's just like this
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: tiny little portion that caps off Act one is not
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: a exponential chunk. It's just a little thing that ends
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: Act one where he's brought back, he's told he has
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: a new life. He goes and uh sees his daughter,
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: he loses everything, and then you have the interlude where
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: we go into the far future where it's left that's
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: like a hundred years or something in head or something.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: It's it's like a jump ahead. And that's Act two.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: Kay uh.
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: And you're you provided portions of the script to mister
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: Feller in ninety five secrect.
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: You probably would be been and I do, I don't
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: have it in.
- 1:01:23Speaker 15: Front of me.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: And what happened He's he sent a l I believe
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: it was either a letter or he communicated that to
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: the fact that if Act too was as good as
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: Act one or the second half as good as the
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: first half, that they could do something with it and
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: wanted to see the second half?
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: Okay, and what did you do?
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: I didn't give it. I was still hoping that something
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: could be worked out with Warner Brothers at the time,
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: and in Loyalty don't Worner Brothers, I didn't go further.
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: I think I was seeking an opinion of the script.
- 1:02:09Speaker 20: Did you?
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: But you didn't make s an effort to reach out
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: to Warner Brothers at that point.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: And well, if you're saying, what was going on if
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: I did?
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: In ninety six, who's Greg Maser?
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: Greg Maser is a very good friend of mine from
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: childhood and is also a writer.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: And what connection does mister Maser have to do mort
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: the script?
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: Greg was working out in California. I think he had
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: done video or film acting and things. I always had
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: a dream of having ensemble or uh group of writers
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: that could create together, and so along that idea, I
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: thought it'd be fun to send copies of you know
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: what I had written and also engage him in other projects.
- 1:03:26Speaker 13: He uh.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: Had received the one shairment of fact he had we're
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: still using floppy discs back then and brother word processors.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: But he loved the story, was very encouraging, kept copies
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: of it as we developed other ideas. He UH shared
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: with his friends too that he thought this would definitely
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: UH amount to something and I was very excited about
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: the Mortal screenplay.
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: Is mister Maser still in California?
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: I believe he's relocated.
- 1:04:19Speaker 10: Do you know where I would have to?
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: I believe I have some old numbers for him.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: I can probably used to track him down, and you
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: don't have any You don't It's not your contention that
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: mister Maser somehow was involved in.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: In UH conveying the script to anyone involved in the matrix. Correct.
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying Greg Mazer submitted anything to Warren Brothers.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: Kay, And you don't have It's not your contention that
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: mister Fowler conveyed any portions of your script to Warren Brothers.
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: Correct, to the best of my knowledge. And no, I
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: can't speak for mister Fowler.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: And You've never had any direct communications with Joel Silver Correct.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: I've never spoken with Jil Silver directly. No, you s
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: ever sent anything to mister silver Well. To answer that question,
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: I would I would believe that the submission by the
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: attorneys to Warner Brothers constitute a submission to Jil Silver.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: And why do you say that.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: Because Joel Silver, from one understand, is the one that
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: claimed he submitted the screenplay that became the Matrix.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: And when you say, when you say the screenplay, you're
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: not talking about the Immortals. Correct that the the screenplay
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: that became the Matrix.
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: I believe he had possession of the Immortals screenplay.
- 1:06:18Speaker 14: At that time.
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: I believe he did have possession of it.
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: And what's the basis for that belief?
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: Because it was submitted through the turnings received. I was
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: told he was received. And you have a database that
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: anything submitted to ninety three by attorneys or agents goes
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: on that can be viewed, according to Stracea Wayne, by
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: anybody at Warner Brothers. So therefore I believed j All
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: Silver had access completely.
- 1:06:42Speaker 9: Okay, So I just.
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: Wanna make sure I understand. So it's your understanding that.
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: Your screenplay would have gone into a database and mister
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: Silver would have accessed that database and therefore had your screenplay.
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: Is that I'd say that's one of the scenarios that was, yes,
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: very plausible. I believe there could. The others do are
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: not privy to what those are at this time.
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: And you base that scenario on, uh, the testimony of
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: Teresa Wayne in the.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: In the Sophia Stewart case.
- 1:07:23Speaker 10: Is that correct?
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: If you point out exactly where you're referring to, Okay,
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: I'm okay, I.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: Didn't make him. Note. I'm looking at your UH media
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: information packet which we marked up. It's right to priva
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: uh as you did at six in the page.
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: And if you go right behind the void and void letter,
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: do you see there is a legal document in.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: The case of Sophia Stewart versus Andy Wochowski at all?
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: Do you see that?
- 1:08:00Speaker 11: I do see that?
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Now my first question is where did you obtain this doc?
- 1:08:06Speaker 8: Here?
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: Min'srity order?
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: Okay, and that's Mr Rankin. Yes, okay, And UH, you

- 1:08:22Speaker 3: Say have you ever had any sort of communication direct
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: communication with Ms Wayne whatsoever?
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: No, I've known. Okay.
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: So, uh, if you turn the page to the next page,
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: there is a uh what is marked as page twenty
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: six where appears to be page twenty six of the
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: order that.

- 1:11:52Speaker 2: To the best of my knowledge this particular time. Yes,
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: I mean if other things occur on so everything out, okay.
- 1:11:59Speaker 23: And and then you have you mentioned mss Wayne, Yes, okay,
- 1:12:06Speaker 23: and aer your understanding of what Miss Wayne testified to
- 1:12:11Speaker 23: comes from this page that we're looking at.
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: In Exhibit six.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: Correct, that's correct, your testimony.
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: You don't have any other information concerning this what mss
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: Wayne said other than what you see on this page.
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: Correct, that's correct.
- 1:12:25Speaker 15: Okay.
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: In fact, you haven't read Ms Wayne's declaration from which
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: Judge Morrow obtained this description.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: No, I haven't read her declaration, okay, would be interesting,
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: and you've never spoken to her.
- 1:12:36Speaker 5: Correct?
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: No, I haven't spoke her to Okay.
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: Now, and so your information for about the Warner Brothers
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: database comes from this page that we've been looking at,
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: maybe of a six correct, that's correct, okay. And it
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: is your understanding of the Warner Brothers database based upon
- 1:13:03Speaker 3: this page and exhibit six that you believe is how
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: mister Silver accessed your script.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: Correct, not entirely known.
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: I believe this is one way that it was done
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: and would be done on UH any day he could
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: look at it. The statement is very very clear, probably
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: the refew mississ Sophia Stewart's claim, but it's very very
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: clear that this makes it available to anybody in the
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: story department at Warner Brothers on a daily basis. So
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: that alone is very strong. But beyond that, No, there
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: are other ways also that Jill Silver could obtain that letter.
- 1:13:41Speaker 11: And what are those? UH?
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: Through Diane Bellis through the submission. I think he would
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: be aware of what's coming in that would actually reach
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: the desk of one of your top people. UH instructed
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: by an executive to submit. I don't believe that would
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: be all under the radarifrgial Silver.
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: And why do you h what do you base uh
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: your belief?
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: Well, it was made into your screen flight after I
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: I submitted, or made into the film.
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: So the fact that the matrix is similar to the
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: j I'm sorry, there's a right that.
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: You're uh, you're looking at the similarities between the matrix
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: and the immortals as evidence that mister Silver access to.
- 1:14:37Speaker 5: Your your script. Correct.
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: I'm looking at the ponderance of evidence that suggests nominally
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: the similarities, but the timeline, which is just unbelievable that
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: the submission occurs in June nineteen ninety three, and then
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: that same year afterwards and the following year these events
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: unfold were suddenly it's being brought into production after the
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: executives said they are gonna make it. So I believe
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: your timeline is quite talent. Along with not only the timeline,
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: your database, not only your database, the similarities which are
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: I believe about a hundred and sixteen different entries. Along
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: with Diane Bellas, along with Pamela Curse saying that she
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: did look into it. She looked at something and on
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: the basis that, so I believe there's multiple things even
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: on the We're gonna continue to discover that the screenplay
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: was uh accessed and utilized by Jill Silver.
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: Kay, But right now you've told me the timeline, the database,
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: the similarities Diane Bellis, and what you learned from Dian
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: Bellis and what you learned from Pedala Kersh.
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: And that's what you right now.
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: Are basing your your belief that mister Silver had access
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: to your script.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: Correct. At this point, I wouldn't contain it at all.
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: I'm leaving it open to further discovery cause we're just
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: now approaching it. And as I'm saying the elements I've
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: described the timeline, things like that, it's it goes.
- 1:16:15Speaker 24: Beyond access question of access, it goes beyond it's mind
- 1:16:24Speaker 24: boggling basically, how much.
- 1:16:26Speaker 25: How how tight the timeline is, how similar the screenplays are,
- 1:16:30Speaker 25: how Jill Silver was so involved and suddenly released right.
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: Before as revile. I mean, that's it's it's kind of
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: silly to even any with im a hoornary question say
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: that there's a lot to it, and we'll keep discovering
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: more and more. So I won't live it in any capacity.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: I think this would be a good time for reach
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: train any what sort.
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: So that's good, Well, thank you.
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: When we are the record at one o five pm.
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: What would you like? Well them would you like it?
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: What's using around to the downstairs? All the way downstairs?
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: When they redid this whole thing got really good? Oh okay,
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: So there's a Mendocino Farms down there.
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: That's fun.
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: The uh what one min forty five minutes is great.
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: I can really recommend the Medcina Farms, which is awesome
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: and don't worry if there's a line or roots, but
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: it's the best sandwiches in camp.
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: And then also there's a place called Flying Pig that is.
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: These really awesome rice bowls and uh stuff. But all
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: of the places are pretty good.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Down there, cause it's like I can pay have anything
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: vegetarian they do?
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: They have a uh they have they have tofu with
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: some sort of to food.
- 1:17:52Speaker 11: That I don't think.
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: How would you more about the doctor n a person
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: who thank you for take you.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: Something about.
- 1:18:34Speaker 16: Kame?
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: You can't start it out?
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: You said, now God's true?
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: How uh.
- 1:18:48Speaker 8: About that.
- 1:19:07Speaker 10: Fine work?
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: Sister a little fourteen?
- 1:19:21Speaker 7: Well you should bathroom first, much.
- 1:21:47Speaker 13: Okay, I'm not in a hurry, so I'm pretty from
- 1:21:49Speaker 13: me that I'm not.
- 1:22:02Speaker 10: So basically, they do everything.
- 1:22:04Speaker 20: Soation later you were, so you were in the deposition.
- 1:22:20Speaker 14: I'll address it to the expect to spelled up to
- 1:22:23Speaker 14: the definition.
- 1:22:30Speaker 10: They are saying, uh, the weapons stuff. We didn't talk here,
- 1:22:35Speaker 10: but they any Paris say that they know they know
- 1:22:38Speaker 10: everything that we're doing.
- 1:22:39Speaker 26: Anything we do, they get it, they keep it. I
- 1:22:43Speaker 26: didn't see that either. You never seen this packet, so
- 1:22:48Speaker 26: I'm sure I said, go ahead and see it.
- 1:22:50Speaker 4: Would you want to do.
- 1:22:53Speaker 10: Whatever you say?
- 1:22:54Speaker 14: Going I am.
- 1:22:56Speaker 10: I mean, it's thorough, it's brilliant. It's absolutely mind bottling.
- 1:23:01Speaker 10: The guy's a genius. And if we got people like.
- 1:23:04Speaker 8: That, who's that?
- 1:23:08Speaker 10: Eric is the guy from Stanford. He's a standard graduate.
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: So he's just gonna ask you all about this.
- 1:23:14Speaker 10: I will answer abilities to the so and it does
- 1:23:18Speaker 10: have the she's gonna ask you what right? They know everything?
- 1:23:21Speaker 8: That's the thing.
- 1:23:22Speaker 10: They know everything, which is fine, Yeah, we can go
- 1:23:24Speaker 10: on plasis. They know everything.
- 1:23:28Speaker 13: It changes my strategy a little, and that's okay.
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: We can talk about that, right.
- 1:23:34Speaker 13: So fine, it kind of removes my my sword.
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: This is a surprise sword or whatever.
- 1:23:40Speaker 11: Yeah, it's okay.
- 1:23:42Speaker 10: I think we're doing a good job. And I think
- 1:23:44Speaker 10: that we're well, yeah, you're seeing a.
- 1:23:46Speaker 13: Good job, right, you're doing a good job. Let me
- 1:23:49Speaker 13: point out something. Because of this, I think it's okay
- 1:23:57Speaker 13: for you to just answer freely what you know about
- 1:24:01Speaker 13: the the matches?
- 1:24:03Speaker 10: You know? I mean, okay, basically stick with the idea.
- 1:24:07Speaker 13: We'd put everything. I put everything in the complaint. I
- 1:24:10Speaker 13: don't think she really can get around the most of it.
- 1:24:12Speaker 13: She did the next thing, but then she's kind of
- 1:24:14Speaker 13: abandoned it. But if she gets back to.
- 1:24:17Speaker 22: That, say, you know, you can go ahead and say,
- 1:24:19Speaker 22: to the extent, it's too that you know whatever we detected, Uh,
- 1:24:23Speaker 22: with my attorney and me, we put it in the complaint.
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: I don't know that I have anything to add. Right,
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: she asks you a very specific.
- 1:24:30Speaker 13: Question, like about a certain matches, I guess I think
- 1:24:35Speaker 13: she's almost pretty parly sick. Where'd you find this information?
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: You have affect?
- 1:24:42Speaker 22: And she'll say, we're in the filming at the pepside.
- 1:24:44Speaker 27: Tell her where it was. Okay, they already know it anyway,
- 1:24:47Speaker 27: It's like they know every they're very thorough. I'm very
- 1:24:49Speaker 27: impressed by then that they know exactly what we have
- 1:24:52Speaker 27: and what we're doing. Yeah, so I conveyed that, but
- 1:24:55Speaker 27: that doesn't work against us.
- 1:24:56Speaker 4: I think I do.
- 1:25:15Speaker 14: What I'm gonna do is if you want to know,
- 1:25:18Speaker 14: I'll tell you later. Maybe I shouldn't tell you now.
- 1:25:21Speaker 14: I work forward.
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: I know it's a little bit talk about the we
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: can douk right, Well, all I wanna see Anthony was
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: the inter the or is what do you do you
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: want before you an to give depositions and then we'll.
- 1:25:34Speaker 13: Be What we're gonna do is this. We're gonna do
- 1:25:37Speaker 13: the request for production first and to find out what
- 1:25:41Speaker 13: they have, especially in terms of copies of the Immortals.
- 1:25:44Speaker 13: You've got to get me that copyright thing. If it
- 1:25:47Speaker 13: hasn't been ordered, I just.
- 1:25:48Speaker 10: Tranna tell the other day it's in your fold. Let
- 1:25:50Speaker 10: me show you in the folder I give you the
- 1:25:51Speaker 10: order for for it.
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: It hasn't been ordered, let me show you.
- 1:26:02Speaker 10: Cause I brought it specifically so you would have people.
- 1:26:06Speaker 14: Dis order, people fascinate.
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: It's order. It's on its way. Okay, right, let's do
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: the small title thing. I don't know.
- 1:26:17Speaker 10: It could be the uh music, it could be the
- 1:26:20Speaker 10: story treatment.
- 1:26:23Speaker 14: But the means of it, it takes you know.
- 1:26:25Speaker 10: That could We'll be able to tell you. But that's
- 1:26:27Speaker 10: what I's trying to show when the plane is that
- 1:26:29Speaker 10: you would do some money.
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: When it's very.
- 1:26:37Speaker 13: As a fressonal production response. But it almost sounds like
- 1:26:40Speaker 13: they're denying they have copies, But so we'll do.
- 1:26:44Speaker 10: You're kind of fish to make a to create that impression.
- 1:26:49Speaker 22: I don't like to speculate as much as you do,
- 1:26:51Speaker 22: So we'll just wait and see.
- 1:26:52Speaker 13: But I we get beat.
- 1:26:54Speaker 14: My strategy still is to get the.
- 1:26:57Speaker 13: Documents because that will affect what we ask skin the interrogatories.
- 1:27:01Speaker 14: Then we can do the interrogatories.
- 1:27:03Speaker 10: Are they gonna continue to delay giving you information?
- 1:27:06Speaker 13: They can't? There's time limits.
- 1:27:08Speaker 14: Alright, because they do, then we delay.
- 1:27:11Speaker 22: We can get a continuance all right based on that
- 1:27:14Speaker 22: of the deadlines, and then we have time to review
- 1:27:17Speaker 22: the interrogatory answers and the change. If we're gonna make
- 1:27:20Speaker 22: the inroditories very specific in detail, and I will need
- 1:27:23Speaker 22: to work closely with Sam and me on that because
- 1:27:26Speaker 22: we want to ask the brothers specifically now about a
- 1:27:30Speaker 22: lot of things we would have asked in the deposition
- 1:27:32Speaker 22: about where they got this and that and Thomas Anderson
- 1:27:36Speaker 22: and source material for all different I.
- 1:27:43Speaker 4: Because a random word the rand exactly right now.
- 1:29:12Speaker 15: Say it was a big like a baby.
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, she said you gonn take it off.
