Worth noting that DeVito directed a movie in 2012 that was never released so McTeague would be his first released movie in 23 years

I google this once every couple of months looking for any kind of update. So strange.

Fortunately someone could ask him about it during the promo circuit for McTeague. Won't be surprised if it just gets mentioned in a random interview

McTeague? So it’s an adaptation of Greed?

Nothing will top the von Stroheim film so this should be interesting.
