Tattling on Tykwer: collaborator peeps on Tom
Ed Blank of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has a local playwright fill in Tom Tykwer's projects: Former Pittsburgher Thom Thomas, a veteran of the Pittburgh Civic Light Opera reports that he and Tykwer will collaborate on 2NDS, which the writer self-describes as "a quite ingenious thriller about twins." Two years ago, he wrote a screenplay of Paul Auster's novel, "Mr. Vertigo," which the producers dangled at Tykwer. Relates the chatty playwright: "Earlier this year Tom called and said he'd be in L.A. and wanted to meet with me. I assumed it was about the same script. But instead he said there was a different script -- one he had written but that he said wasn't jelling at all. I read it and told him what I thought was wrong with it, and he suggested we co-write it." Of another project, the writer says it went through 3 directors and three casts, but, as Blank relates, "The producer pulled out, and then he died." Meanwhile, Thomas' latest play, "A Moon to Dance By" world preemed at Indiana's New Harmony Theatre.
