And you could do it now.

You could do it then if you wanted to.

But one of the great unrealized projects is the prospective third season of The Knick.

whoa, look what you're doing here.

Remember when he was like, it's just going to be the hospital, but it's jumping ahead like 50 years?

And wasn't Barry Jenkins or somebody going to direct it?

Well, I have the idea of reuniting Soderbergh and Clive Owen on this.

Nice.

But I wonder whether or not you do...

One half of it is the basically turn of the century tale, and the other is like modern times.

This is good.

But it's like maybe two different directors shooting the same actors, or it's like Soderbergh shooting both, but you're dressing.

Because you could shoot London.

There's parts of London that do look exactly like it did in the beginning of the 20th century.

Honestly, there's probably five people in this room that would scout.

It's quite possible.

A couple other ideas that I had, like Naked and the Dead, the Norman Mailer World War II novel.

I just, let's make World War II stuff.

And equally a bummer with Appointment in Samara would be An American Tragedy, the Theodor Dreiser 1925 novel.

But yeah, like it would be pretty bleak to do American Tragedy.
