Doors of Perception--The Movie

I was browsing movie scrips and I came across this one, written by someone named Paul Schrader. It's dated year 2000 and I don't think it was ever made into a movie. I bet it would make an interesting film though. I just skimmed through it and there is a lot of talk about psychedelics. I attached the script in case anyone is interested in reading it. When I get more time I'd like to read the whole thing. Anybody know anything about this? Here in an excerpt from it:

EXT. HUME FRONT PORCH - NIGHT

Hume and Russell sit on the front steps sipping Chardonnay.
Night crickets are interrupted by the sound of the occasional
passing car.

RUSSELL
To be honest, I'd sort of come to
the end of my interest in mescaline.
Mostly just getting stoned.

HUME
That's what you were doing in that
club? When you had the panic attack?

RUSSELL
(sheepish)
Not really.

HUME
MDMA.

RUSSELL
Yep.

HUME
It's an interesting drug. There's
important work being done on Ecstacy
at John Hopkins, in Barcelona:
neuroendocrine effects, vasopressin
secretion...

RUSSELL
What are you into?

HUME
We're starting a trial on DMT.

RUSSELL
The harmalines? Hoo boy. The heavy
stuff. How you get away with that?

HUME
Cause I'm a good boy.

RUSSELL
How can you put up with it? All the
shit you have to deal with in this
country?

HUME
Somebody's got to stay and fight the
good fight. The best labs are here,
the best scientists are here -- you
do work in this country and the
scientific community has to take it
seriously. Besides, with the internet,
everybody is connected now. You know
the organization MAPS?
(Russ nods)
Through MAPS now we're in constant
contact with research all around the
world: Spain, Finland, Brazil. It's
not like it used to be.

RUSSELL
Good old Hume Rankin.

HUME
Don't mock me bro.

RUSSELL
(lifts glass)
Excuse-moi.

HUME
(click glasses)
Things are going to change. It's too
important not to change.

RUSSELL
Psilocybin, that's where I realized
I wanted to be, but I just wasn't...
well, I just I was scared. The big
drugs, the See God drugs, that's
what it's all about.

HUME
This extraordinary imagery we all
have within us. These things,
unworldly things, that just appear.
Where do they come from? What are
they trying to say?

RUSSELL
The old dilemma. You open those doors
of perception, what happens? Do you
see this world more clearly or do
you come in contact with another
world?

HUME
Does the inside come out or does the
Outside come in?

RUSSELL
The Freud/Jung dilemma.

HUME
It's not politically correct, and
I'll deny I've said this if you repeat
it, but I believe there's a parallel
world of awareness that these plants
give us access to. It may be the way
primitive man first became aware of
the spiritual world.

RUSSELL
(joking)
"Jesus was a plant."

HUME
(responding in kind)
I deny it. I never said that.

RUSSELL
So, this DMT trial, you got everyone
signed up?
(Hume nods)
You can't fit one more in?

HUME
Why?

RUSSELL
You got a bunch of Portland Deadheads
signed up for this trial and you're
going to interview them silly.
Wouldn't it be better to have one
subject who has studied psychotropic
affect, who's personal history is
intimately conjoined with your own,
someone with whom you can truly
discuss the results of the trip?

HUME
You want in?

RUSSELL
Can you swing it?

HUME
(thinks)
Yeah. If you don't advertise.

RUSSELL
Yes sir.
(beat)
Tell me one thing, Professor Rankin.

HUME
What?

RUSSELL
Do you, ah, offer Mileage Plus?

The dialouge seems phony... But hell, a little education to the public would have been better than none at all.

And if you jump to the end of the script you see that it's dedicated to Terrence McKenna. Kinda cool.

2000, you say? It probably won't ever become a movie, would have been interesting,though.
