Robert Durst

Later, I found out that he'd gotten a copy of the script, even though the script was on lockdown.

Nothing's on lockdown in Hollywood.

He somehow knew somebody, and he was able to get a copy of the script, and he read it, and he was very intrigued by it.

Bob called us right before All Good Things premiered, and he wanted to see it.

He was in Los Angeles, so we drove over to his studio, and we arranged for him to have a screening.

And after seeing the movie, he made what is probably the blunder of his life.

In 2010, All Good Things is released.

The movie is well received.

But the person who had the most praise for this movie was, believe it or not, Robert Durst himself.

And he enjoyed the movie so much that after watching it, he reached out to the movie's producers, Mark Smerling and Andrew Jarecki, and sparked a relationship with them.

Well, it became very clear to me that Andrew and Bob connected in a way that I did not connect.

They both come from extraordinarily wealthy families.

Robert Durst grew to trust Andrew Jarecki and Mark Smerling and agreed to tell his story in his own words.

So later that December, Bob sat down for an entire weekend giving an interview at a hotel in Santa Monica.

The opportunity to sit down with him in an open interview situation seemed irresistible.

We did three full days with him.

And Bob is very open.

He's almost glib.

I always felt like Bob had a compulsion to confess.

I disagree with the idea that Bob was trying to confess.
