Tai-Pan is a 1986 adventure drama film directed by Daryl Duke, loosely based on James Clavell's 1966 novel of the same name. While many of the same characters and plot twists are maintained, a few smaller occurrences are left out. Filmed under communist Chinese censorship, some portions of Clavell's story were considered too offensive to be filmed as written and considerable changes were made.
Production
There had been numerous attempts to film Tai Pan over the years.
Martin Ransohoff of Filmways bought the rights to the novel by James Clavell in 1966 in conjunction with MGM for $500,000 plus a percentage of the profits. Clavell would write the script and co-produce. At the time Clavell was also working as a filmmaker, directing Sidney Poitier in To Sir, with Love.
Patrick McGoohan was announced to play Dirk Struan (the first of a two-picture deal he had with MGM) with Michael Anderson attached to direct. Carlo Ponti came in as co-producer. However the movie would have cost an estimated $26 million (later reduced to $20 million) and was postponed. It lingered on for a number of years before being finally cancelled when James T. Aubrey took over as president and cancelled the project.
In 1975, Run Run Shaw had bought the rights from MGM and wanted to collaborate with Universal Studios to make a $12 million film. Carl Foreman wrote a screenplay, but the film was not made.
In the late 1970s, Georges-Alain Vuille obtained the rights and George MacDonald Fraser was hired to adapt the novel. Fraser's script met with approval – Vuille hired him to write a sequel – Richard Fleischer was attached to direct, and Steve McQueen agreed to star for a reported fee of $3 million. McQueen dropped out of the project but was still paid $1 million. Fraser thought Oliver Reed would have been ideal casting for the role of Brock.
