Spurs are miserable but I still love that Fayetteville has an Ardiles Street and a Hoddle Place. #coys #thfc

From Wikipedia entry on Orson Welles's unrealized projects: "In 1941, Welles received the support of Bishop Fulton Sheen for a retelling of the life of Christ, to be set in the American West in the 1890s. After filming of Citizen Kane was complete, Welles, Perry Ferguson, and Gregg Toland scouted locations in Baja California and Mexico. Welles wrote a screenplay with dialogue from the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke. "Every word in the film was to be from the Bible—no original dialogue, but done as a sort of American primitive," Welles said, "set in the frontier country in the last century." The unrealized project was revisited by Welles in the 1950s, when he wrote a second unfilmed screenplay, to be shot in Egypt."

From Wikipedia article on Paul Verhoeven's unrealized projects: "In 1993, Verhoeven began pre-production on the historical epic Crusade for Carolco, with Arnold Schwarzenegger set to star and John Turturro, Robert Duvall and Jennifer Connelly in talks to join the project. Carolco ultimately shelved the project owing to its projected $100 million budget, and Verhoeven eventually moved on to other projects. Walon Green wrote the script. In 1999, there were talks of Crusade potentially being revived."
