Followers of this blog (and fans of VM Productions) are well aware of how the talented and troubled screenwriter disappeared without a trace.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/133213451\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>Yes, without a trace &#8212; a feat which seems impossible in this technological day and age. You&#8217;d think there would be footage or pictures or credit card histories&#8230; something. But as far as I can tell (and believe me, I&#8217;ve gone over the evidence until it runs together and stops making sense), Hurley vanished. All he left behind was the contents of his apartment, his disjointed notes, and a mass of confusion and half-truths.<\/p>\n<p>And so much for holding off on discussing Hurley. His presence is so palpable in every image and frame of\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dostoevsky-bts.com\/about_robert_hurley.html#interview\" target=\"_blank\">Dostoyevsky Reimagined<\/a><\/em> that it&#8217;s hard to put aside the mystery that surrounds him. Sometimes I feel like he&#8217;s trying to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notesthemovie.com\/robert_diary.html#Imaginery%20friends\" target=\"_blank\">tell me something <\/a>in the space between the lines and words, passing along a message of what really happened. Other times I wonder if this is how he sounded before he started babbling about cults.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_166565\" style=\"width: 505px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RITUAL-DOCUMENTED-BY-ROBERT-HURLEY.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-166565\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-166565\" src=\"https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RITUAL-DOCUMENTED-BY-ROBERT-HURLEY-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"Robert:  &quot;I MADE THIS SKETCH BY MEMORY- THE CAMERAS WERE FORBIDDEN...&quot;\" width=\"495\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RITUAL-DOCUMENTED-BY-ROBERT-HURLEY-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RITUAL-DOCUMENTED-BY-ROBERT-HURLEY-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RITUAL-DOCUMENTED-BY-ROBERT-HURLEY-240x185.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-166565\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robert: &#8220;I MADE THIS SKETCH BY MEMORY-<br \/>THE CAMERAS WERE FORBIDDEN&#8230;&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As always, please sign up for our <a href=\"http:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/contact.html\" target=\"_blank\">FREE newsletter<\/a> to keep track of my investigations and follow\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dostoevsky-bts.com\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Dostoyevsky Reimagined<\/em>&#8216;s<\/a> journey from the page to its final release.
