ProductioneditWilliam Castle initially purchased the film rights and asked author Ludlum to write the script. Ludlum was reluctant. Despite his extensive film and theatre experience, he said I didnt leave that crowd of ocelots to go back into it. As related in the documentary Alpha to Omega Exposing The Osterman Weekend, producers Peter S. Davis and William N. Panzer were celebrating the wrapping of a film when they ran into Larry Jones. Jones, also a producer, revealed that he owned the film rights to Robert Ludlums 1. The Osterman Weekend, but was giving up on turning it into a feature film since he had not been able to develop a satisfactory screenplay. Davis and Panzer immediately offered to purchase the rights, as they felt this could be the project that elevated them out of the B movie features that they had been financing up to that point. Jones and a partner agreed, and Davis and Panzer began pre production. The first order of business was to adapt Ludlums complex story, and for this they hired Ian Masters. Davis claims that Masters followed conspiracy theories and closely paid attention to the CIAs activities throughout the world. After Masters developed the scripts groundwork, Alan Sharp was hired to work on characters and dialogue. With the screenplay completed they went looking for a director, and an offhand comment led them to Sam Peckinpah, the controversial and troubled man who had helmed The Wild Bunch 1. Straw Dogs 1. 97. Suffering from a damaged reputation due to alcohol and drug addiction noted most recently on the set of his 1. Convoy, Peckinpah had been given the opportunity to do second unit work on Don Siegels. Jinxed in 1. 98. The competence and professionalism he displayed made it possible for him to be considered as director of The Osterman Weekend. Many studios did not want to work with Peckinpah because of his antagonistic relationship with producers. Additionally, the directors health was poor. Davis and Panzer were undaunted, because they felt that having Peckinpahs name attached to their film would lend it an air of respectability. Due to the directors damaged reputation, the producers were forced to seek financing from independent sources. According to the commentators on the films special edition DVD,citation needed Peckinpah hated Ludlums novel and he did not like the screenplay either. Peckinpah requested and was given permission to work on the script himself, but after submitting his first few pages the producers forbade him from any more rewrites. In Marshall Fines book Bloody Sam, screenwriter Sharp said that he himself did not like the screenplay he had written, and that he found it incredible that Davis and Panzer used his draft as the shooting script. Fine also wrote that Ludlum had stated to his friend Jason Robards that he would provide a free rewrite if this is true the producers never accepted his offer. In spite of his distaste for the project, Peckinpah immediately accepted the job as he was desperate to re establish himself within the film community. Multiple actors in Hollywood auditioned for the film, intrigued by the chance of working with the legendary director. Many of those who signed on, including John Hurt, Burt Lancaster and Dennis Hopper, did so for less than their usual salaries for an opportunity to work with Peckinpah.
