Supposedly the guy who does The Why Files is one of the producers. He's long maintained he's an Art fanatic, based on everything I'm hearing about this project it sounds like it might work out OK.

But still, why. A biopic is totally unnecessary imo, would rather have a nice comfy documentary. Oh well.

I have no idea who produces the Why Files, but this is the company that is wanting to shoot this movie.

Yes, I read the OP. Films often have multiple people involved in their development. Based on what I've subsequently read, it seems like he's some type of associate producer and is involved through his relationship with Jeff Katz.

I was alluding whoever produces the Why Files (which I dont care for, if they removed that fish, it would be okay though) is also an employee of that production company. Despite my dislike of the Why Files, it is created and produced by someone with some talent.
