...happened, Toby Brown did not write his screenplay and did not give up his practice. But almost any enthusiastic amateur might have spurred Crisis in the Hot Zone into production faster and with happier results than the Hollywood royalty -- Robert Redford, Jodie Foster, director Ridley Scott and producer Lynda Obst -- to whom 20th Century Fox entrusted this $50 million thriller. Nearly two years after Preston's article appeared -- time enough for him to expand it into a book, The Hot Zone, due in stores in a few weeks -- the film had not begun shooting.

Struggling filmmakers, meanwhile, can meet, and perhaps impress, Hollywood decision makers without a bossy secretary blocking the way. "The festival gives people access to Hollywood who wouldn't otherwise have it," says Tom Rothman, president of worldwide production for Goldwyn. "Here you don't need a reservation...
...headed there, leading a wagon train of believers. As of last week, Bridges had sold 4.1 million copies and had stayed on the best-seller lists for 63 weeks, 33 of those in first place. That's a lot of hankies. Steven Spielberg has bought movie rights, and Robert Redford is, as they say, being spoken of to play Kincaid...
