Before George passed away back in late October he did a diary of sorts about his experiences in directing "Casino Jack". He talks about almost everything,but what stood out for me was his comments about Kelly Preston. He apparently was always a big fan of hers. Here's his comments about Kelly:

Working with one of my favorite actresses of all time. Kelly Preston is a remarkable human being and a great dramatic actress. It was a privilege as a director to tap into this part of her. Rarely do I make a kind of spiritual con- nection with my cast. Kelly was a wonderful exception. She is truly very special and I adore her.

Rest in Peace

That just shows that George had good taste. It's a real shame he passed away at such a young age. Never getting to see his movie released nationwide.

It is a shame he died so young. He was a very promising film maker.
