“Billy’s a friend,” Heald replies. “Guy did an art piece for my foyer. It’s an easy call to make. I feel like why not get Crispin, too? Maybe Mike to direct? We can blow this thing up.”

Heald added: “Everything I’ve read about them makes it seem like they’re looking for somebody to come in and pitch them an idea, so we’ll see.”
