“At MGM there was a script cage in the basement where they’d show rushes. And I thought to myself, “How do I get into the script cage and find out what my future is?” I climbed into the script cage one night and spent the whole night in there. I saw the bowels of MGM. I saw the studio scripts that the producers had seen; the writers had just handed them in. And I started thinking this is a chance to pick my own roles.” ThinkingWholeShowsNightChanceMy OwnRolesSawsPicksScriptsStudiosProducersCagesOne NightMy FutureBasementsBowelsMgm Author:George Hamilton
“There came [a script called] “Dracula Sucks.” Now, I liked “Dracula Sucks,” but we gotta change [the title]. They said, “If you like that, you’re going to like this: ‘Zorro the Gay Blade.’” I decided I was going to go out and raise the money and develop my own projects. And that’s what I did. I made “Love at First Bite” and I made “Zorro the Gay Blade.” [Script rewriter Hal Dresner] and I put together “Zorro” in about eight weeks.” IfsFirstsMadeSaidTogetherMy OwnWeekGayProjectsDecidedRaisesScriptsEightTitlesBitesThey SaidBladesZorro Author:George Hamilton
