The Lifted Veil
This was an adaptation of George Eliot's novella commissioned by Gunther Productions in Hollywood.
For this film Colby was only the screenwriter.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
"I was on a studio lot just last week talking with my good friend Tony Scott, who's thinking of directing this picture, and if these two got together and made 'The Lifted Veil' happen, it'll be a brilliant whiz-bang event movie you'll be happy bringing a date to!" - Gambol Gutenberg, Screenwriter/Life Coach
"It feels a little outdated to me. Perhaps change the ending and downplay the stock the story gives to phrenology. Other than that, aces." - Darwin Mayflower, Internet scriptreader
"It must have taken a lot to translate an obtuse story loaded with abstract concepts into a slick Hollywood narrative. Congrats, pal, you did it!" - Geoff Tambeau, Sony Pictures
"Brilliant wife death...Impressive psychological insight." - Michael Sean Conley, Screenwriter
"Take it off, please." - Skip Press, Screenwriter/Life Coach
"It's getting there, but it needs a polish." - Kenneth Gunther, Producer
"Fuckin' awesome, man." - Evan Kilgore, novelist
"The crimes and medical logic depicted in this play don't feel terribly realistic to me, but maybe they were in the 19th century." - Tony Vargas, Los Angeles District Attorney's Office
