I searched BN threads and this is as far back as any that I can find:
"Joe Merchant movie???"
I think there were some older threads that got pruned.
There's also this site, that (I think) involves fantasy share trading in filmmaking, but uses real information:
hsbr.net
I'd say:"Don't buy your popcorn yet."

I remember one thread that got to be several pages long. We had the movie cast all the way down to the extras. Lots of big names!

Frank Marshall and Jimmy own the rights from what I remember, they've just never done anything with it. I think it's been swept under the rug for other newer projects.

I searched imdb.com which also has upcoming project listed as pre-production, and Joe Merchant did not appear. They have several 2006 projects listed that do not even have a full cast yet.
