Kirk Douglas
Following the success of Michael Douglas and Joel Douglas' action-adventure film production "Romancing the Stone" in the spring of 1984, the Douglases attempted to find an action-packed violence film to co-star Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas. The film was to be a co-production between Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas and Joel Douglas, with plans for filming in 1985, but the right vehicle never came up. Meanwhile, "Amos" was to be co-produced by Kirk Douglas and Peter Douglas, starring Kirk Douglas, and with Eric Douglas portraying the character's younger self in flashback scenes (Kirk Douglas ended up portraying his own flashback sequences). The filming of "Amos" was delayed while Peter Douglas wrapped up "Fletch".
