Training Tim was nearly made in 2015 by Brad Pitt's company. It had director, Robby Benson, attached at one point. It had actress, Katheyrn Winnick, attached at one point. It had actor, Anson Mount, playing Tim at our table read in NYC at HBO. Wendy Malick played Barbara at the table read in LA at the Luxe Hotel. We had many producers and productions and many people that deeply loved this movie. It had a massive poster that sat in a NYC office for a while. Siri Baruc Thornton was encouraged on this podcast to bring her screenplay back to life by the head of The Creative Coalition, one of the former producers, Robin Bronk.
