The producer of that film, a guy named Andrew Gaty, he's got – it's amazing, stuff happens all at once. Right after we made this deal with Atmosphere, literally within a week, Andrew called and said I think I've got the money for Diamond Dead and I had to say oh wait a minute, we're already doing this deal for this other deal. So it will depend on whether the money sources will wait for me or go an make the movie with another director. In which case it might still use my script. But I'd love to do it, and I hope they wait for me."
