We have spent a great deal of time together over these past weeks and I think it would be a really good idea & beneficial to us both if, after the Cannes Festival, you found a film to work on until we are ready to shoot Panther. I will naturally keep you on your retainer so please don't feel in any way this letter is some kind of termination of employment...In the meantime we have Ireland and Cannes to look forward to...Peter''.
