Wow, a real paranoia through Hollywood. Kind of interesting to be witnessing this.

This morning I learned that the movie adaptation of my graphic novel
Pyongyang was cancelled. I didn’t have many contacts with the production team
and for two years, since the rights have been sold, I have been informed of
the developments by the internet. I guess it’s the Hollywood way. I
knew that somewhere in California the script was being written and until a
leading actor was picked I didn’t know if it was going to be an animated
feature or a movie. When I sold the rights to a big American production firm
I knew and was frankly happy with the fact that no one was going to ask for
my advice on how to do a screen adaptation.

He didn't have a good December career-wise. First, this project due to start in March was cancelled; then the whole Foxcatcher controversy; and now the haters are working overtime at Foxcatcher forum saying what a terrible actor he is. Of course that last part matters about as much a drop of ink in the ocean to his career.
