Scott Hicks aborde ici l'un de ses projets avortés aprés "Hearts in Atlantis": "The Secret History", l'histoire d'un étudiant tués par 4 de ses amis, inspiré du livre de Dona Tartt:

While he has worked solidly in Hollywood since then, the Adelaide-based writer-director has had to abandon plans for a film based on the Donna Tartt novel The Secret History. "The studio said: 'Does it have to be so dark?"' he says. "I said: 'Well, did you read the book? Four college kids kill one of their friends - that's dark.' For me, as a story, it was very edgy 10 years ago. Now it's like headline news."
