Hello, everyone!

In looking through some recent back-issues of _Time_, I came
across the following in an article about Robin Williams. Here it
is, from Page 66 of the 11 March 2002 issue:

            Where does a stand-up comic with a newly
            acquired taste for playing killers go next? He
            has been talking to Richard Attenborough
            about doing a film on Mark Twain, his wife
            Olivia and Twain's progressively angry view
            of life. "Twain was one of the first to write
            about the American character, about us, but
            it became darker and darker. By the end he
            was so angry at God and at his life. A
            character like that, you look for those. They
            have everything."

Searching the TwainWeb archives, I could not find any previous
postings about this. Does anyone know if Williams's envisioned
project is moving forward?

Regards,

Mary
