Im broke, Brooks recalls in the interview.
I said, No, Im just getting a little more insurance.
But really Im getting a second mortgage on the house.
I had two cars, I put them up.
I mean, Im practically ready to jump off a roof, you know?
I mean a roof like the Empire State Building, Im ready to go.
Because I am legally broke and in debt for the first time in my life.
I make a 10-minute trailer.
I take it to all the studios.
I almost got Michael Eisner where was he at the time?
Paramount, and then went to Disney and he said, Ill give you back the money.
So anyway, this movie is now, like, I hear the death knell.
I hear a bell tolling late at night.
Everything is mortgaged…Im finished, Im just finished.
And you’re free to see the trailer forSolarbabies, below.
