Leonard, Elmore. SIGNED CONTRACT FOR WILD CARD

$2,000.00

for a First Draft Screenplay Designated as "Wild Card." Dated March 15, 1974. The author is to receive $30,000 for two revisions of the screenplay. The contract has been countersigned by a representative of Universal Pictures. In his memoir, producer Walter Mirisch recalls that "Wild Card," a suspense melodrama with spy overtones, was to star Charlton Heston, but a film based on Leonard's 136-page screenplay was never produced. A virtually unknown Elmore Leonard adaptation based on a 1976 novel by two young British authors. Fine.
