Among the Hollywood notables who passed in 2014 is Louis Zamperini, who only recently became relevant to movie audiences with the release of his life story, the Angelina Jolie-directed Universal Pictures film which stars Jack O'Connell and Takamasa Ishihara. Zamperini, who first made a movie deal for his remarkable life story 57 years ago, didn't live long enough to see gross over $51 million domestic since its Christmas Day release. He died July 3 at age 97, but not before being shown a rough assemblage by its director, Angelina Jolie. On a day when it is worth reflecting on great lives lived, Unbroken producer Matt Baer guides us through the long struggle to bring Zamperini's life to the screen, and how the subject's unwavering persevering spirit extended well beyond a POW camp in WWII Japan.

DEADLINE: King Arthur, 2004.
BAER: In that first round, between 1998 and 2002, there was a narrow list of directors Universal would make the movie with, because the movie's scope made it so that it would have cost twice what we spent...

DEADLINE: Why?
BAER: Our budget's $65 million, but we're using a ton of visual effects. The price point on those kinds of visual effects 17 years ago was astronomical, and back then production rebates weren't on the level they are now. And we didn't have Unbroken, I mean the Laura Hillenbrand book, and all the pedigree that brought us.

DEADLINE: It's now part of Zamperini folklore that Universal bought his memoir to make a Tony Curtis vehicle, only to see the actor do Spartacus instead. How many times did this movie come together and fall apart under your watch?
BAER: We started with the Robert Schenkkan draft, but it was the one by Neil Tolkin that got Antoine right after he directed Training Day. Had Antoine stayed, there's a high likelihood the movie would've gotten made in that window. We down shifted, but then we got word in 2002 that Laura was interested in writing a book on Lou, but we just didn't imagine it would take her eight years.

DEADLINE: You kept shopping his story while you waited?
BAER: We had the promise of that book, the Tolkin draft and that the CBS documentary from the Nagano Olympics. I brought that to every possible financier. I couldn't say though when the book was coming, so the timing never seemed right. When the book came out, I took it to Universal and Francis Lawrence developed that first draft with Richard LaGravanese. Then he left for the sequel of The Hunger Games, ironically originated by Gary Ross, who had directed the adaptation of Laura's book Seabiscuit at Universal.

DEADLINE: Why was Hillenbrand's work such a lifeline?
BAER: This story needed an extra powerful push to get people to take the story seriously. Seabiscuit had become A, a successful book and B, a successful film for the same studio that still had the rights to make the movie, so Laura kept my hope alive.

DEADLINE: Was Louis at least continuing to draw money from that original '50s memoir deal from Universal?
BAER: No. In the first four years back in the 50s, Lou was being paid fresh money from Mr. Wasserman for his life rights, but then it went quiet and they still had the underlying rights to his 1956 book. There are a lot of thing special to me about this story, but one was that Lou needed one more down payment to buy his home, the one he lived in his whole life. It was Universal's check for his memoir Devil at My Heels that enabled him to buy his house, in 1956.

DEADLINE: What is that conversation like, having Louis trusting you and being forced to tell him again and again, not yet, Louis?
BAER: The truth is, nobody understood patience like the man who hung around for 47 days floating in the Pacific on a lifeboat and then spending two years in a prison camp. I'd tell him, sometimes, these things just take time. He was very familiar with that experience.

DEADLINE: It's understandable. They're still doing it.
BAER: His line was that people say I have a tendency to exaggerate. The knowledge and then the resulting success of Unbroken when he was 93 years old, it gave to his life what he wanted so much: for people to finally believe him and that what he had been saying so long about his life was true. Because Laura was such a definitive historian, that fueled his mental state when the book was being written, and then, it came true for him.

DEADLINE: He really expected to be able to pick up where he left off, on the track?
BAER: Lou's ability to run was everything to him because it turned his life around as a teenager. What he knew was how to run fast and so when that ability was taken from him, that was a massive blow. I would think during the pre-Born Again Christian days, he was certainly most bitter about those two things and then he became an alcoholic and he had a new family and two kids that he was trying to support. It was a very difficult time for him, post war; he was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder long before it was ever diagnosed.

DEADLINE: She bonded quickly with Louis. Explain the kinship.
BAER: It is two things. Louis was a tremendous flirt, a flirt of the highest order. So if you're 93 years old and you've got Angelina Jolie paying attention to you, that's a good day. Second, despite their age difference, I always felt that they had a foundation of shared experience, that childhood with varied twists and turns. Both of them became very adept physically, she in doing her own action in movies and he on the track. They ended up using their success to help other people and both are so captivating when you're with them because they have great personal stories of unique lives.

DEADLINE: Funny how it took all these pieces to fall into place, when basically the story was the story, even back when Zamperini first sold it to Universal?
BAER: Yes. The film is one of the most, what's the right word, faithful adaptations of any book. The story never changed, the underlying story of what happened to Lou hasn't changed. What changed was what Laura did with the story. She made it so clearly cinematic in Universal's eyes and then when Angie became interested in it, the book was the ultimate catalyst for her own vision. There's no Unbroken, the movie, without Unbroken, the book, period.

DEADLINE: Was that the biggest reward for the patience it took to hang in there so long, when neither you nor Louis were making money from a movie most would have given up on? There must be futile script drafts going back to the '50s.
BAER: Well, not that far back. They never got as far as script for the Tony Curtis version. Back in 1956, there was no such thing as development hell. Then, it was, okay is Tony doing it? He's not? Spartacus instead? Oh, well. The origin of that deal was, one of the execs at Universal read Lou's book and bought it and targeted it for Tony Curtis, who then decided to put his focus onto Spartacus. If Curtis had said yes, they would have gotten the script and we probably wouldn't be talking here. From my point of view, that was a break. I would argue that Unbroken the book has so much more readership and brought awareness. Had the movie gotten made in 1956, it probably would have felt like another variation on a World War II movie, like Sergeant York, and that they wouldn't have been able to match the physical, epic nature, the size and scope of the movie that we've made. It would have been a much simpler version; there is no way they'd have spent that kind of money without having a Gone with the Wind level successful book to back it up. But you asked about the journey?

DEADLINE: I wanted to know the biggest benefits borne from the patience shown by you and Louis?
BAER: Well, for me the first image I always go back to is that 1998 documentary, where Louis at 81 years old is running the torch back into Nagano. That footage ends our movie, and when I saw that in 1998, that's what also drove me for 17 years to make sure that that image was the ending of this movie because it can't get any better as in film making and in demonstrating Lou's remarkable endurance and hope.

The NHL's newest team the Las Vegas Golden Knights, an expansion team as of this year, held a ceremony for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting. Before their first home game of the year, the fist home game in the teams history they held a 58 moment of silence for the 58 victims of the shooting. This connects to the theme of silence in Night because back then silence was something bad and you were supposed to speak up. Though nowadays we hold moments of silence for those fallen and that can't speak up anymore. Soon after this pregame ceremony the #vegasstrong was trending on twitter.

This article talks about the silent protest in the NFL during the national anthem before the football game. They have been silent for many years until know they have stood up. They are kneeling for social injustice and police brutality. The players have been silent until now and it has caused many issues politically and many disagreed. This compares to the Night Book because it is the  path Eliezer took in his life from being young and in concentration camps to winning the noble piece prize for his book and for standing up for the horrible things done to people because of their race or religion.
