It was basically the story about him and his wife when they first met, this rich guy and this girl from sort of the other side of the tracks, and then how eventually that relationship got toxic.
Eventually he kills her.
And then later his best friend, Susan Berman, who knows about what happened to his wife, starts to become problematic.
He moves to Galveston, Texas and disguises himself as a deaf mute woman, if you remember this.
And he ends up becoming friends with his elderly neighbor and this guy named Morris Black and they go out shooting on Pelican Island and so on.
And eventually they have a little altercation because he figured out who Bob Durst was and that he was sort of on the run.
And he dismembers that man.
He kills him and dismembers him.
I guess we started working on that in around 2005 and it came out in 2010.
So in 2010, it's about to come out in theaters, this film.
And there was a big article in New York Times about how accurate it was and how much we had done to it.
you know, make sure that the details were right and so on.
And the real Robert Durst reads the article and calls me out of the blue.
And, you know, I had tried to get in touch with him before without any success.
And he actually calls the distributor of the film first, Magnolia Pictures, and he asked for the president, Eamon Bowles.
And Eamon and I would use Bob's voice like when we would talk to each other because Bob had a very recognizable voice.
So when I would call him, we would hang up and I would say, bye-bye.
