When was the American actor and comedian born with whom Reitman had a disagreement and for which "Which Lie Did I Tell" the film never came to fruition?
Memoirs of an Invisible Man (film) Memoirs of an Invisible Man is a 1992 American comedy science fiction film directed by John Carpenter and released by Warner Bros., with many scenes taking place in and around San Francisco. The film is loosely based on "Memoirs of an Invisible Man", a 1987 novel by H.F. Saint. According to William Goldman's book "Which Lie Did I Tell?", the film was initially developed for director Ivan Reitman; however, this version never came to fruition, due to disagreements between Reitman and Chevy Chase. The director deviated from his usual practice of titling the film as "John Carpenter's" because he knew that Warner Brothers would not allow him full artistic control, saying that the studio "is in the business of making audience-friendly, non-challenging movies."
