Chesterton influence on the 1997 movie "The Game"?

I have never seen that movie, and this is something I came across that I need to do a little more checking up on. However, this quote is interesting nonetheless:

(If you have seen "The Game," starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, that movie is based on one of the stories in the collection [The Club of Queer Trades]: "The Tremendous Adventure of Major Brown.")

    That was certainly my thought on watching 'The Game'. But I don't think any of the writers had the decency to acknowledge where they got the idea from.

    Sadly, I've still never seen the movie, nor checked up any more on that yet...
