The article is paywalled, so I can't read it. However, rather than being the source of it, I thought Meyer was essentially forced into using San Francisco as the location for TVH. Didn't he actually request to set it in Paris since Time After Time had already been done in San Francisco? Wasn't he turned down by Bennett for cost reasons?

It only won't open for me if an adblocker is on, and only on some browsers.

I am simply sharing the article. I'm not privy to what stories Meyer may have told when.
