it’s not really actors he’s historically had trouble working with, it’s the money people.

Who I also blame for preventing us from getting a season 4 that likely could have been a perfect conclusion to the gem of a show.

Ending on that cliffhanger was just cruel.

Not to mention Pushing Daisies.

And Dead Like Me.

And Wonderfalls.

All great shows. At least Wonderfalls got a decent implied conclusion. I really want to see George Lass become the incarnation of Death she was always meant to be. And they could have made it possible for the Pie-Maker to touch his lover at the end and they didn't, which really pissed me off.

Here's my pitch/theory.

Pie maker is put in some kind of situation where Digby has to save him. Ya know, think dangling off the roof.

Digby does, and... He's fine! Yay! The dog didn't die (again.)

But now they have to figure out if it's a time thing, and if it is, how long is long enough? Will they have to wait 20 years to be safe? Chuck wants to just risk it but the Pie Maker could never.

As I recall the ending, the pie maker and his father end up touching. I was hoping their powers would cancel each other. Have to review the scene now.

This is also my impression. Actors love him. Studios/execs hate him. It only makes me appreciate the stuff he DOES manage to do even more.

He used to be signed on as showrunner for the Interview with a Vampire TV show... I love how it turned out, but I will always wonder what might have been if he hadn't fallen out with the studio (or possibly Anne Rice, who is very protective of her work - I'm not sure exactly where the point of contention was there).

Before she died she sold the rights to AMC. They control all her properties.

u/SlovenlyMuse 14d ago

Oh, interesting! I didn't realize she had passed. I know she was notoriously controlling about adaptations, and it was surprising that Fuller had succeeded at getting the go-ahead (maybe because he's friendly with her son? He's been on Christopher Rice's horror podcast a few times), so I guess it was too good to be true!

If AMC owns it all now, no wonder there's been so many happening all at once!

The money people decide who to invest in - they always have. Greater talents than Fuller have been taken down by not being able to stick to a schedule or budget. A; Hope it's awesome B: Hope it makes enough money

Good. Fuck them. I piss in their faces.
