I have a copy of the studio pitch.......it goes

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2013)

Screenwriter - There's this assassin who gets injured on a foreign mission and ends up with amnesia. He doesn't know who he is and befriends an attractive but destitute girl, who's looking for a visa to help him.
Studio Exec - Like Bourne Identity?
Screenwriter - I've not seen that, is it any good? Also, I thought Moby would be good to do the soundtrack!
Studio Exec - Lets call the lawyers!
Lawyers - Leave out Moby and can you pinch the scene from Frantic where Harrison Ford is stuck on a ledge outside the girls apartment and the vehicle over the bridge scene from Inception....the one with the slow mo! Also, can we add some pseudo science about crops - that will be interesting!!
Studio Exec - We're good to go then....lets use Liam Neeson from the film Taken.
Screenwriter - Not seen that one...is it any good? I was thinking Jeremy Renner
Studio Exec - I think he's busy!

Sarcasm aside, Bruno Ganz was excellent. His story would have been far more interesting!
