Milius and Rangers

Regarding “1,334 Pages Too Much? Mailer’s CIA Novel Is Coppola’s Movie by Milius” (Film Clips, Dec. 15):

We’d like to clarify the reference to John Milius’ current Texas Ranger project for Columbia, which makes no mention of the source material or the original writers. Three years ago, Frank Price optioned a story idea from us called “Ranger,” based on the book “A Texas Ranger” by N. A. Jennings. Price hired us to adapt the book, which we did. A year later, our agents were told that Milius had been attached to the project.

We hope in the future that Milius remembers to mention our contributions to the project.
