Between her big hits, 鈥淢onster鈥 and 鈥淲onder Woman鈥, Patty Jenkins wrote an R-rated fairy tale, starring a dog. She hoped that the dog would deliver such a great performance that the Academy would 鈥 for the first time 鈥 give the Best Actor award to an animal. The story was about a dog program in a prison, a perfect set-up for a story of both canine and human redemption, right? Wrong. That鈥檚 the kind of story Hollywood loves, but not the kind of story Jenkins wanted to tell. Enter development hell.
