SFgate reports ?Better Call Saul? co-creator Peter Gould was not always one of the most successful writers in Hollywood.
In the early 2000s, he tried to get HBO to make his project about the Clinton-Lewinsky saga...using shadow puppets.
Gould explained it better in the latest ?Shoot This Now? podcast.
The scandal was still all-too-fresh in people?s minds in the early 2000s, and Gould thought puppet figures between a light and a screen could act out the drama.
