Larry David turned down $200,000 from producer David Susskind for his unproduced screenplay Prognosis Negative because he demanded to stay its only writer and let no one change a word. Rob Reiner loved the script and Richard Dreyfuss wanted to remake it as a coming-of-age drama, but the demands sank every deal.
