Burt Reynolds was one of Hollywood's biggest movie stars in the early 1980s thanks to a decade -long hits that included "deliverance" (in the role that almost went to Marlon Brando), "White Lightning", "The Longest Court". He was the best of playing chickens to violate the laws that prevented the corrupt or unfair will of the figures of tight authority. He was the best kind of scandal.

And yet, like many movie stars, Reynolds was bored of playing something close to the same image of the image. So, he tried to expand his allure by appearing short of short jewelry in "Rough Seka", singing sheriff in "The Best Little Trees in Texas" and to focus as a dirty Harry-Esk policeman in the "hinged machine". The results were mixed. After losing all the interest in Franchise "Smokey and the Bandit" (that died in 1983 with Mostly The Reynolds-less "Smoki and the robber part 3"), Theveza was at a crossroads. The red part of the red part, which was formerly his boxing office bread and butter, were now without fashion, while police officers, where detectives by heavy conversations, were removed by sadist killers, they seemed to be a safe game in the Reagan era.

Reynolds' career imposed as the 1980s worn, making his decision to reject the title of role in adapting Robert Ludlum's bestseller to Robert Ludlum's bestseller, "Bourne identity" increasingly confusing. The Cold War was still waged, and the Jameseshes Bond was as popular as ever. Reynolds as an amnesic CIA agent with excellent murder skills could have saved him from Insipid Dreck as "Stick", "Rent-A-Cop" and "Malone". Unfortunately, it is probably the best Reynolds rejected by Bourne, because he would have been paired with a notorious picky director.

British director Jackec Clayton was known for his strip victory. His first four films - "Room at the Top", "The Innocent", "Pumpkin Hare" and "Our Mother's House" - were critically recognized triumphs that earned a total of seven awards at the Academy. Unfortunately, Clayton's perfectionism will make him trouble for the rest of his career. He made only four more feature films ("The Great Gatsby", "Something Wicked in This Way", "The Lonely Passion of Ithudite Harn" and "Memento Mori"), and he often frustrated his associates with his intense attention to the details.

"Something maliciously in this way" was just completed without Clayton's editorial contribution when it was published Theujork Times That he would shoot a movie adaptation of Ludlum's "Born identity" starring Reynolds. Clayton, who was constantly determined to never repeat, was certainly in unexplored waters with the pulp spy thriller of Ludlum. He was also waving in the turmoil by throwing Reynolds in the lead. Anyone who knew about the temperament of these two artists had to expect rough shoots and, perhaps, fiasco at the box office.

We will never know how this will be worked out, although we are certainly clear about the commercial potential of the material in the wake of universal inflammation string blockbusters of Bourne In the forms of Matt Damon-Glumi "Bourne Identity", "The Survival of Burn", "Bourne Ultimatum" and "Asoneyson Bourne". (Molmon-less "Bourne Heritage" was a sub-box office sub-performance.) Reynolds finally made a critical comeback in 1997 when he played Porn Original Jackeck Horner in "Boogie Nights" (for which he was supposed to win the best actor Oscar). He never connected to the movies as obvious as he did in the 1970s and 1980s, but when it was at the top of the world, few burnt power on the starvet as powerful as Reynolds.
