I know I'm coming to this quite a bit after the fact, but
there's an interesting bit in Terrill Lankford's _Earthquake
Weather_ where his protagonist, a "creative executive," gets
his hands on an advance copy of a Stephen Hunter novel and
thinks how great a movie it could be before regretting that
it could never happen because a studio would want to
re-jigger it so that some young hotshot could play a part
meant for a mature actor. Sounds almost exactly like Vince's
Keanu Reeves anecdote.

I think it may mean that Hunter won't be involved as producer
or writer. A few of Hunter's books are still in development.
In William Goldman's WHICH LIE DID I TELL?, he refers to his
stint adapting Hunter's novel POINT OF IMPACT -- which was
retrofitted to accommodate Keanu Reeves as a potential
star.
