00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: released a statement to Deadline, Steve saying you've been reluctant

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: to make a movie about your life for years because

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: we've often asked you, why don't you do a story

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: about your life? But then you read the pitch for

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: seventy two, and it focuses on one of the most

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: difficult moments in your journey and your career, and it

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,640

00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: until you see what we do with this, mister Harvey.

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's based on a seventy two hour period from

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: the time I was about to quit, from the time

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: when I appeared on showtime at the Apollum. It's focused

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: on a seventy two hour period.

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Not your entire life, but just like those three days.

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: But you know, it's interesting about stuff like this because,

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: like the reason I don't talk about stuff like this

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: because it's so far from actually going down. You know

33
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: how people go, I got this movie coming out. Well,

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: you know it's that in development. Yeah, so you know I.

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: Have learned.

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: Finished. Yeah, until it's finished and got some distribution, I

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: really don't bring it up. So I'm not that you

38
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: know what I mean, because I have a couple of things.

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: I have also, uh, something I'm working on for for

40
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: a real bio pick the whole story, all of it,

41
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: all of I've been in conversations with that for several

42
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: months now, and that that looks like it could happen,

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: So we just have to wait and see. It's basically

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, but I don't That's why I don't

45
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: post stuff like that. When I saw it come out,

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: I went, I grimaced a little bit because, you know,

47
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: because it's everywhere.

48
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: Well, I mean suffice it to say that one day

49
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: your life story movie will come out. Whether you know

50
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: what I'm.

51
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: But you know, I wanted to be more of a

52
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: it's not for money, it's it's more of a legacy

53
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: play because I know for a fact that the truth

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: has never been told. I know for a fact, I

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: mean the whole truth, the really really all of it. No, no, nobody,

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: nobody has listened to that part of it. And for me,

57
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: it's been like an amazing story of grace and favor

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 2: and it's about it's about anybody can come from anywhere,

59
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: no matter how low or how far you've fallen, and

60
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: there's a chance for you. That's the real story.
