Making another move to Los Angeles, McBride found his way to the remake of "Breathless," receiving permission to claim the project from Jean-Luc Godard. The casting process provided difficulties, with Robert De Niro refusing to commit, and directors came and went, eventually returning to McBride, who had to earn Richard Gere's trust to keep the gig.
