“Me and Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel and Dana Carvey wrote a script called 'Hans and Franz: The Girlyman Dilemma,' and it was going to be co-produced with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he was going to co-star in it. We had a deal with Sony, we got paid to write it, and it was a musical, but it never got made because...I think Arnold kind of backed out at the last minute because he was getting cold feet because ;The Last Action Hero' had come out, where he was parodying himself. But it was a really funny script, and I wish it could've seen the light, because I think it would've done really well.” ThinkingWritingWellsKindMadeDoneLightActionLastsWishStarsDealsFeetMinutesColdHeroPaidMusicalScriptsDilemmaLast MinuteSchwarzeneggerSonyConanAction HeroesCold FeetConan O Brien Author:Kevin Nealon

I'd written a totally different script - about war, basically - that got rejected at the last minute for various reasons. The whole of the series was in doubt. I said, "Well, there is one other idea ["National Anthem"]."” WellsSaidIdeasDifferentWarReasonWholeLastsBitsCreativeDoubtWrittenMinutesConversationCrisisSeriesScriptsVariousChiefsOfficersRejectedHuntsAnthemLast MinuteNational Anthem Author:Charlie Brooker
