I said, \u2018It depends on how the screenplay comes out\u2026If it\u2019s a masterpiece, I\u2019ll make it, but it has to be a masterpiece.\u2019 And he is like, \u2018I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a masterpiece.\u2019 He got all funny. He\u2019s still working on it, though. He is still trying to do it, so we\u2019ll see.

I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m allowed to say or not say, but there\u2019s a couple of other movies that are being written, one of which is in pretty good shape, another which is kind of closer to the start, but we feel positive about. And then there\u2019s a thing I\u2019m writing, which I think it\u2019s okay\u2026.
