Screenwriter William Goldman heard about
the lions of Tsavo already on his first Africa journey in 1984. ' In all my
life I only ran twice into such great factual material ' , says Goldmann. '
The first time it was the story about Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid and the
second time was this one'.
He was fascinated about the fact that the Africans thought the lions are some
mysthic creatures coming form Hades and that they gave them the suaheli-names
' the Ghost ' and ' the Darkness '. Still in Africa he started searching on
the legend of the man-eaters and wrote the first script in 1989 .
