Okay, I was at a big agency and you know trying to get Naked Gun 4 done and they sent in people competing projects. So, I left the agency and I went to another agent and he you know he’s you know very supportive and I didn’t go to for him to find me work. I just need an agent to negotiate the deals. I turn down stuff, not that I’m you know that much in demand because I’m an old guy. They just don’t want old in Hollywood. They want a young guy. So anyways I you know don’t get me started. So yeah, but this guy my agent found a production company and got the script to them and they love the script. So, I’m just telling I don’t know if this is advice to anybody because it’s me. I’m a specific kind of example but this guy this guy the head of this production company loves it. He thinks this is my Annie Hall. You know I mean it’s that much an advance from the spoof from the Naked Gun style spoof.
