‘The Departed’ Scribe William Monahan Offers Updates on the ‘Evel Knievel’ Project and More
Posted on Monday, January 18th, 2016 by Jack Giroux
Oscar-winning screenwriter William Monahan‘s latest film, Mojave, a rough and mean meta thriller, opens in theaters next week. The writer is known for such films as The Departed and Kingdom of Heaven, but in 2000 he had a novel published that couldn’t be more different from those pictures. “Light House: A Trifle” is a wild story — a farce with writers, criminals, a prostitute, and an unhappy married couple running an inn. An adaptation was in the works before Monahan’s novel was even published, but sadly it never came to fruition.
After the jump, William Monahan discusses Light House, The White Devil, and the Evel Knievel project.
