Jim Now [The City and the Pillar] (Original screenplay for an unproduced film) de Gore Vidal (novel, screenwriter [attributed] ) - 1970

N.p.: N.p., 1970. Draft script for an unproduced film, attributed to Gore Vidal. From the estate of actress Monique van Vooren.

Loosely based on Vidal's 1948 classic landmark novel "The City and the Pillar," one of the few books of the period which portrayed overt homosexuality as natural and without moral ramifications.

In 1970 and 1971 Variety International reported Franco Rossellini had been in discussion with Vidal to produce his screenplay adaptation of his 1948 novel, with Vidal also slated to direct, reiterated in William Hawes' 2008 book "Caligula and the Fight for Artistic Freedom: the Making, Marketing and Impact of the Bob Guccione Film." According to Hawe's the production had not gotten off the ground because "funding proved to be insufficient even for a low-budget version."
