  "account": "Abel Ferrara was once set to direct the crime thriller Atrapado por su pasado, starring Al Pacino, but was replaced by Brian de Palma. Ferrara had been rehearsing with Pacino for a year when a new screenwriter appeared, and Universal's Tom Pollock presented another new version of the script. Ferrara was upset and an incident with a bottle of wine at a dinner in Cannes led to his dismissal, with rumors spreading that he had stolen from Pollock.",
