In January 1993, among the projects [[Imagine Entertainment]] were developing was ''Hep'', a "stylish, 1960s detective piece" conceived by Howard about a "slick" [[Los Angeles|L.A.]] [[Private investigator|private eye]] who must solve his partner's murder. [[Rockne O'Bannon]] was writing the screenplay based on Howard's idea.,<ref>{{cite magazine|author1=Eller, Claudia|author2=Marx, Andy|url=https://variety.com/1993/film/news/imagine-turns-attention-to-prod-n-103004/|title=Imagine turns attention to prod'n|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=January 14, 1993|access-date=January 8, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/1993/film/news/imagine-bursting-with-development-work-106314/|title=Imagine bursting with development work|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=April 28, 1993|accessdate=April 8, 2025}}</ref>, [[John Byrum]] was hired to rewrite O'Bannon's script.
