Simon on an unrealized project. "I've got a story that I'd love to do, which I've been working on for eight or nine years, which is the history of the CIA, which would basically be America's foreign policy footprint. But it's 70 years of period piece filming, it's all over the world, there's a lot of CGI. Scene I, Act I is Berlin after the war, in total wreckage. And HBO goes, 'Listen, it was all fun when we were giving him $20 million and he was making 'The Wire' and no one was watching, but do you take us for fools?' They're looking at what the plausible revenue stream with all the downloads and BitTorrent. The window of this Golden Age of Television might have a point where it snaps shut on your fingers, because we're talking like a Hollywood studio. 'Can we get James Franco? If we get James Franco, you can make it.'

They set up everything you needed to know prior to actually showing the CIA kill the president, then twisted off into a substitute fictional assassination that dpeicts them to be just as monstrous, but avoids the kook label of JFK CT for DeNiro and the other big-name producers. And if they'd gone ahead and had them off JFK, the movie would have grossed five or ten times as much.
