Exit Line

We keep wondering whatever happened to “Memoirs of an Invisible Man,” the first novel by Harry Saint for which Warner Bros. paid $1.35 million for rights. With Chevy Chase to star and Oscar-winning William Goldman (“Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”) to screenwrite.

Then we heard about this meeting a while back over Goldman’s first draft. As the tale is told, Chase was rattling off his complaints--and Goldman walked out with, “I’m too old and too rich for this (fertilizer).”

A Goldman rep said, “We’ve heard the same thing, but Mr. Goldman doesn’t want to discuss the matter with the press. They have his script, and he has no official comment on Mr. Chase.”

Chase is on location in Louisiana with “Fletch II” and was unavailable. But through a press rep, his partner, Bruce Bodnek, responded: “They met on (Goldman’s latest draft) and there was a difference of opinion on the direction the script should take.”
