1:34:01
-Yes.
-I'm interested in the picture business.

1:34:05
My associates and I, we wish to produce
a series of uplifting religious films...

1:34:09
about the apostles.
1:34:11
But unfortunately,
we don't have enough money.

1:34:14
Well, raising money's tough.
1:34:16
No, our church has
enough money for one film.

1:34:19
We just don't have enough
for all twelve.

1:34:24
Well, you know
what you do?.

1:34:26
You produce a film in
a commercially-proven genre...

1:34:29
and then after it's a hit,
you take the profits from that
and make the 1 2 apostles movies.

1:34:33
- Would that work?.
- Absolutely.

1:34:35
Let me show you
something.

1:34:39
You see this script?.
1:34:41
Grave Robbers From OuterSpace.
1:34:43
Money in the bank.
1:34:45
Grave robbers from what?.
1:34:47
From outer space. It's science fiction.
Very big with the kids.

1:34:51
Ifyou make this picture, you'll
have enough money to finance
a hundred religious films...

1:34:55
and pay my back rent
with the profits.

1:34:57
I don't know. This is, um,
all a lot to absorb.

1:35:02
It's a guaranteed blockbuster.
1:35:03
Mmm.
1:35:05
I understand this science fiction is
very popular, but, um...

1:35:09
don't the big hits
always have big stars?.

1:35:12
-Well, we have a big star-- Bela Lugosi.
-Bela Lugosi--

1:35:16
Oh, I thought
he passed on.

1:35:19
Yes.
Yes, he did.

1:35:22
But...
1:35:26
-I've got the last footage he ever shot.
-Doesn't look like very much.

1:35:33
Mr Reynolds, this is the acorn
that will grow a great oak.

1:35:36
I'll just get a double
to finish his scenes...

1:35:39
and we'll release it
as Bela Lugosi's final film.

1:35:42
Bunny?.
We're makin' another movie.

1:35:45
Yes, I got the Baptist Church of
Beverly Hills to put up the cash.

1:35:49
- [Knocking]
- [Paul] Ed, I got
the Lugosi doubles outside.

1:35:52
Bunny, I gotta go.
1:35:58
He's too short.
