Note:
The following is an excerpt from an early draft of the film tentatively
titled Lifson, which has been made public for the sake of open auditions.
The film is based off of the life of Ben Lifson.
While the original
intent was to depict his life as accurately as possible, the filmmakers soon
found that almost every studio in Hollywood was rejecting their pitch.
Finally, after 8 months, Hollywood producer Buzz Harkin discovered
the script.
While he liked the basic premise, he didn’t think the script had the
proper elements to make a successful summer blockbuster.
As such, he took
some artistic liberties to make it more hip for modern audiences.
Furthermore, several names were changed for legal reasons, including
the schools depicted in the film.
Both were given completely fictitious titles.
While open casting is still in session, there have talks with Shia
LeBeouf to play Ben.
Morgan Freeman and Emma Watson are also involved
in currently unannounced roles.
