Renny Harlin reveals that he turned down a movie idea from Steven Spielberg:
"He wanted to make a movie based on a book about a boy with an ability to become invisible... I looked at the film as a character-driven story like 'My Life as a Dog,' but Steven wanted to make it more like 'Back to the Future,' an action-adventure comedy. I was so idealistic and passionate, and I told him it was not the movie I wanted to make. In retrospect, you think, 'How stupid can I be?' But I had to believe in my own convictions. It was suicidal, because heās a genius. I still think my version of that movie wouldāve been very special."
