Blink with Stephen Gaghan | Revisionist History: Development Hell | Malcolm Gladwell
Ойын-сауық
It’s the mid-2000s, Malcolm and writer/producer Stephen Gaghan (“Traffic”, “Syriana”) are running around Hollywood pitching their scripted adaptation of Blink. This conversation starts with a failed vampire love story, takes a ride in Leonardo DiCaprio’s Prius, before making an unexpectedly heartbreaking turn that leads Stephen to walk away from the project forever.

ABOUT REVISIONIST HISTORY
Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell’s journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every podcast episode re-examines something from the past - an event, a person, an idea, even a song - and asks whether we got it right the first time. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance.

Imagine, just for a moment, you acquire the AI rights to Heath Ledger. You don't just make a movie; you create a masterpiece that resonates with his essence. You would be pioneers, ushering in a new era in movies. Blending legacy with technology.
Listening to your voice is the next best thing to reading your research. Never mind the ruff subject or controversial content. Malcom your inspiring intellect is a gift to this world. Thank you is all I can say. ✌🏻🫶🏻 🚒 Jesse
As a screenwriter in recovery, the reading of your opening scene renewed my dormant admiration for those who created visions by putting words on paper.
Oh wow, what a heartbreaking story. I won't spoil it for anyone. But wow... I think now is a good time to make this movie finally, and with Leo once again!
Loved the book. Tho narrowly drawn from the text the movie sounds interesting. 👀
Poker Face, which streams on Peacock, is about a woman who can tell when people are lying by looking at them or listening to their voice.
Love Blink but having become disabled with what appears to be sero neg MG, am concerned MDs tend to make snap decisions based on someone elses assessment. Would love to see Blink in doctors office inquiry
Incredibly heartbreaking and tragic that Heath Ledger passed away with the script laid on his bed, no less. What an amazing story.
Incredible episode. Thank you for your time and effort Brother Gladwell. I see this script getting the greenlight!!
There actually is a movie called Blink en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(1993_film)
