...Lewis Padgett. (The story is about a mysterious box of toys; the title is a line from Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky.") For New Line Cinema, the studio behind the project, the movie is also a family affair. Production President Toby Emmerich penned several early drafts of the screenplay and studio co-chairman Robert Shaye is both an executive producer and the director...
...greenlights a project when the studio co-chairman is the executive producer and director? Toby Emmerich, even though he wrote two drafts of the screenplay, put on his head of production hat and vetted the idea and then Michael Lynne, who is the co-chairman, independently made the decision to officially greenlight it. I impressed upon Michael the importance of being fair and even-handed because I didn't want anybody to be accused of nepotism...
...symbolize rebirth; Cole’s constant, brooding face looking out to the ocean. Despite the lackluster storyboarding, shining performances from Tom Hildreth (Cole) and Amy Jo Johnson (Cole’s wife Cheryl) rescue the film from future obscurity.

If nothing...

Florence was one of the key stops on the European Grand Tour undertaken by many wealthy and cultured Americans of the time, and the young...
That's about the only spot of humor in the script, by James Vanderbilt, whose widely circulated screenplay of Richard A. Clarke's Against All Enemies--yet to be made--is a model of compression and clarity. This one, with two main story lines (Toschi's official pursuit and Graysmith's amateur obsession) plus a character count in the high dozens and lots of leads that go nowhere, right up to the end, is necessarily a more sprawling affair. Yet it manages to be true to the complexity of the case while never losing cohesion or coherence...
