this week that he and Bogdanovich had been penning a screenplay about the famed “Porgy and Bess” composers over the past year, called “Our Love Is Here To Stay.”“Peter was so excited about the prospect of being back in the director’s chair,” writes Kashner of the director whose credits also included the ’70s classics “Paper Moon” and “What’s Up, Doc?” “He began to talk about how the Gershwin picture had to be shot in black-and-white,” like “The Last Picture Show.

But Kashner recalls that as the screenplay process ended, “To make our movie, Peter knew he would need something like an understudy [to direct], for insurance purposes, ‘in case anything happened to me.'” But while “Peter floated a few names for possible alternate directors… sadly we didn’t get that far.”
