A Pyromaniac's Love Story

Beverly Hills, CA: Brillstein-Grey Entertainment, Circa 1994. Draft script for the 1995 film comedy.

Good-natured pastry chef Sergio (John Leguizamo) is smitten with waitress Hattie (Sadie Frost), who refuses to go out with him until he can earn a decent living. The bakery is burned down by arsonist Garet (William Baldwin), and Garet's father offers Sergio a bribe of $25,000 to take the blame. Romantic hilarity ensues, as Sergio and Garet become involved in a love quadrangle involving Hattie and another woman named Stephanie (Erika Eleniak).

Director Joshua Brand is best known for having created early story-arc driven dramas including "Northern Exposure" (1990-1995) and "St. Elsewhere" (1982-1988), both of which proved to be the template for television's transition to more ambitious and challenging formats.

Shot on location in Toronto.
