Things you didn’t know about Larry Kasdan: 1) He’s been nominated for four Academy Awards – two for Original Screenplay (The Big Chill, Grand Canyon), one for Adapted Screenplay and one for Best Picture (The Accidental Tourist); 2) He did the screenplay for Raiders of the Lost Ark before he did punched up the screenplay for Empire; 3) he turned down the script job for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom because he thought the story was “too mean”; 4) he was the screenwriter of a movie that sat in development for years, once being called the best unproduced film, which was eventually produced – The Bodyguard, with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.
