The two formed Fox Run Productions and produced the film Lust in the Dust starring Hunter, Divine, and Lainie Kazan.[1] [2] [3] Released in 1985, the film was a hit and landed Glaser a production deal back at Fox on his next film, Sorority Confidential., written by Patricia Resnick, writer of the film 9 to 5. Glaser's next film, Dark Horse, was based on a story by Hunter.[4] The feature starred Mimi Rogers and Ed Begley, Jr.[5] It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.[6]

Abrams tentatively entitled Tab & Tony.[11]
