Is it $35 million? Let's go $65. Let's just argue on the racetrack about a scene for an entire day while we pay hundreds of extras and then not film the scene.

There was no cocaine on set. Don Simpson's trying to keep it alive. And it's that 80s excess era that's still kind of going in 89, 90. These big budget movies, a lot of sequels at this point.

It's going to be Chalamet. Okay, who is a producer that was more reliable at this point than Simpson Bruckheimer? I can't think of one. What's the sport that hasn't been dove into like this?
