So I'm sitting in letters.
Eventually I get, he writes me back.
i sent him the stuff that's crazy dude snail mail good old-fashioned snail mail oh yeah tons of them so he he ends up getting it into rolling stone magazine and um i was actually supposed to be on the article and like two weeks two three weeks before it came out he told me that they didn't want my name on the article which was a lie by the way there's the guy's a complete scumbag so so it ends up but we option it and so when we optioned it
They told the guys the option is life rights.
And I got a check.
Yeah, write the article.
And then somebody sees it in Hollywood.
They don't really.
They have some staff writers, but mostly they're almost all freelance.
Okay.
So they saw it, right?
Like some producers, several producers saw it and came back and said, hey, we want to option this, which means we'll give you $50,000 if you'll give us...
18 months to try and put this together.
Yeah, well, the life rights really is you can't work with anybody else.
But their theory is like this article's out here.
What if other people come to him?
So you give us 18 months to try and make a movie.
And we'll give you $50,000 for the option.
And the option, and if we make the movie, we then buy them.
This is just an option to buy it.
