The Aviator misattribution
It is sometimes stated that Hack's book Hughes served as the basis for Martin Scorsese's 2004 film about Howard Hughes, The Aviator. However, two competing films about Hughes were in development at the same time. The other film was to have been directed by Christopher Nolan, with star Jim Carrey and financing from Castle Rock Entertainment. Its script was going to be based on Hack's biography. That film was never produced. However, The Aviator star Leonardo DiCaprio has referred to Hack's biography in interviews about the film.
