It was Quentin Tarantino who avoided Elmore Leonard for a
year, after changing parts of Rum Punch, including the
movie's title, which became Jackie Brown. Your response from
Leonard is accurate. Leonard told me when I interviewed him
that once Tarantino bought the book, "it's yours." BTW, he
was very pleased with QT's treatment. Which is why QT turned
around and bought rights to an additional 4 Leonard novels. I
believe Killshot is in production. Speaking of Leonard's
westerns, QT will be doing Forty Lashes Less One.
Best wishes
