Posted by Tung Yin My wife and I spent some time thinking about casting, and while no one jumped to mind to play villain Peter Branson, I think that Robert Patrick (the liquid metal robot in "T2" or Agent Doggett in "The X-Files") would be perfect as Paul Revson. He's bland enough looking to blend in and not detract from Branson's charisma, yet would be believable as the cool and potentially lethal FBI agent. Link: http://yin.typepad.com

I agree with the common view that MacLean's best books pre-date "The Way to Dusty Death" (and in particular, I think his output in the 1960s was tremendous), but I've always liked "The Golden Gate" (1976) and thought it could be a decent movie. I realize that the track record of movies made from MacLean novels is mixed at best, but a good screenwriter who sticks to the novel could do a lot with it.
