Love this script. Though, I can't imagine Zwick doesn't sand off the rougher edges and throws an uplifting message on it.

I totally appreciate the American Dragon Tattoo film (so much great talent involved in all facets) but I still would rather have seen Fincher do this movie – mostly because of the script. Steven Knight is way more exciting than Steven "hm, another writing assignment, what am I adapting now?" Zaillian.

I still haven't forgiven Zwick for Love and Other Drugs… or really his entire career. Though I am a sucker for Blood Diamond.

"tells the story of American chess player Bobby Fischer and his unlikely 1972 victory over Russian chess champ Boris Spassky"

LO effing L. unlikely victory? seriously, that's a riot. you need to check your facts. fischer was a machine and his win was no surprise. nobody could hold their shit together against fischer. he would win matches with all wins, no losses, and no draws.

he kicked the world's best player's asses. white pieces, black pieces, didn't matter. if you drew against bobby you had done well.

'unlikely'. please. don't know what your source was but you should reconsider where you get your info, especially about stuff you know nothing about.

This script is too good for a director like Zwick.
