Well, neither Monte Hellman’s site nor any other place where you’d expect to find info on this being HIS film has it posted. So, it could just be some rumor that IMDb took as fact (which IMDb often does) or it could be that he was originally attached but now isn’t. There was an article I read on this, I’ll find that one and post it.
Ride the Whirlwind is great but my favorite Hellman has to be Two-Lane Blacktop. He’s a great director, I just would really rather see a P.T. Anderson western. There Will Be Blood has revisionist touches and I wanna see how Anderson does shoot-outs and bank robberies.
