Reply to comment by RangeWilson in TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto
Oh you mean those “A list” writers who happen to get 30 percent on rotten tomatoes and then see their movies bomb? Lol.
Hollywood is a joke and I’ve made half-assed efforts of getting in and I will probably never get in because I simply don’t have the connections. Being sent rejection notices for unsolicited material makes me laugh and just reminds me the industry is all just a “rich boys club”.

It still seems like a stupid decision and I hope the money came out of De Palma’s OWN WALLET and not counted as production costs. You pay people to do a job, not pay them IN CASE something happens. That’s why Hollywood is so hated because they pull this kind of shit .

I’m gonna guess that you’re an idiot.
