Intolerable Cruelty
Advance buzz has it that this dissection of matrimonial law starring George Clooney and Mike Zoss first-timer Catherine Zeta-Jones could not be more inane.

To the White Sea
Having succesfully vulgarized Homer’s Odyssey, Mike Zoss Productions was looking for other literary works to despoil when To the White Sea was innocently heaved over the transom by producer Richard Roth. That novel, the final work of poet/he-man James Dickey, is the survival story of a tail-gunner on a B-29 shot down over Tokyo in March of 1945—the night before the firebombing of the city. Filming, which was to involve simulated carnage on two continents, was to have begun in January of 2002, but financial snafu spelled curtains for the picture. Film scholars can get a feel for what might have been by examining the completed storyboards in the Mike Zoss Archive, housed in the library of the Christian Marist University in Penobscot, Michigan.
