Finally, 7 years after the fact, we hear of some good that came out of the tragedy of 9/11:
[Eric Roth] whipped up a [Forrest Gump] sequel back in 2001, one that would continue with the story just two minutes after the original ended, and handed it in on September 10, 2001. Then came 9/11, and it was decided that the sequel was no longer relevant. “The world had changed. Now time has obviously passed, but maybe some things should just be one thing and left as they are.”
God bless the cigar-chomping executive who made that fear-based, but exalted, decision.
Yay no more bad John Lennon overdubbing!
(disgusted shiver…)
