� People talking �
� And they're saying that you're leaving �
� So unhappy �
� With the way that you've been living �
COREY FELDMAN: Hollywood loves to put people up on pedestals.
Admire them, worship them, and then abandon them.
I should know.
My name is Corey Feldman,
and I've been acting since I was three.
How could kids like Corey Haim and I
ever have had the chance to be normal?
[crowd cheering]
�
I remember when I was a kid,
I used to sit in the couch and watch Michael Jackson on TV.
It was awesome.
I mean, not only was this guy loved,
he was loved by everyone.
After my parents got divorced,
my mom and I pretty much lived with my grandparents.
My granddad was a big war hero,
so we always had a lot of old military stuff lying around.
Here we go.
� [continues]
SHEILA: Whatcha doing?
I thought you were sleeping.
Nope, I'm going out.
You messing around with your grandpa's stuff again?
I was just playing.
You memorize the lines, those Goon ie lines?
Yeah, I have them all memorized.
You did? Really?
You did. All right.
Tell me, what's the first line?
It's...
something about... trespassing.
Trespassing.
That's the problem. You think you're too cute.
Everybody else in this town is working their ass off
to get on a set like that, and you're playing--
Stop eating that ...! You look like a pig!
I'll be home later.
�
FELDMAN: Little did I know, 2,500 miles away,
there was another Corey
thinking exactly the same thing.
COREY HAIM: I grew up in a normal family, pretty much.
My sister got into acting when she was a kid,
and so I started tagging along.
Corey, come to dinner!
Hey, can I eat in my room?
No, you may not.
I have a ton of work to do.
You're 13. Your job is to eat your vegetables.
What are you working on, sweetheart?
- A new audition. - What's it about?
Okay, so you've got these kids,
and they're looking for this treasure, right?
You know that hockey tryouts are next week.
- Bernie. - I'm just saying.
The Thunderbirds are a double-A team,
and Coach Duffy is holding a spot on the team for you.
He's been learning his lines for a week.
Well, I guess he's just got too many talents, huh?
I'm really nervous 'cause, like, what if I don't get it?
Then that just means you're destined
for something even greater.
We're shooting exteriors today.
We got your trailer right over there.
Hey, Mom, take a picture.
We'll let you know when it's time for makeup.
- I'm gonna go check it out. - Go for it.
- Hey, Corey. - Hey, man.
Hey, listen, I'm here for you, man.
Anything you need, you come to me, okay?
- Okay. Thanks, man. - Great.
It's bigger than our first apartment!
And don't forget your bug net.
You know, Maggie's a perfect name for you.
- Why? - A magpie's is considered
one of the most intelligent animals in the world.
- Oh. - It's true.
DIRECTOR: Cut! Let's turn it around, please.
Thanks.
- That was great. - Thanks.
Hey, you think we could get some burgers?
I'm kinda over the food here.
Of course. Whatever you want.
[mumbling]
[distant giggling]
Cute, huh?
You should go talk to her.
I have a big scene I need to study for today.
Besides, what would I even say?
You've never been with a girl before, have you?
No, I have, actually, many times.
Oh, yeah. You kissed a girl?
You ever played around with a girl?
[laughs] Don't worry about it.
You're green. That's fine.
Hey, Corey, I'm here to help you.
How?
Listen, my friend.
Let me let you in on a little secret about Hollywood.
There's a girls' club, there's a boys' club.
Now, you wanna be in the boys' club, don't you?
How's about it?
I guess.
I'll help you.
Don't worry about it.
Come on. Let me show you a few things.
FELDMAN: The only time I actually got to be a kid
was when I was on set.
I may not have gotten the love I wanted from home,
but it didn't matter.
Audiences loved me, and there were perks,
like the time I begged Steven Spielberg
to invite Michael Jackson to visit the set.
- Is that Michael Jackson? - Exactly.
Hi. Are you Michael Jackson?
- Yes, and you are? - I'm Corey. I'm a Goonie.
You're that kid from the Gremlins, aren't you?
Yeah. You recognize me?
I must've seen that movie a dozen times.
- Really? - Steven has been telling me
that you've been practicing my moves.
Yeah, yeah, I have.
Well, you don't have to if you don't want to,
but I would love to see you do it.
- Are you ready? - Yeah.
[beatboxing]
Ooh!
Cool. Cool.
HAIM: Af ter Lucas, my family packed up
and made the move to sunny Southern California.
[giggling]
Corey! Come help us put the groceries away.
Yes!
What should we have for dinner?
Maybe we should just ask Corey what he wants.
Corey!
Nice.
Corey?
� [ominous]
Corey?
Okay, fine. It's going to be tacos again.
[applauding and cheering]
It's so exciting.
Honey, are you excited?
[applause continues]
I don't wanna go.
It's your premiere.
No, I know.
You're just nervous.
You ready?
[cheers and applause]
Hey, Corey, we'll walk you in.
HAIM: All the attention, the press, the girls,
provided quite a good escape
for what was going on in my life.
FELDMAN: But they still expected kids like us
to live so-called normal lives.
The truth was I never felt like I really fit in.
Hey, Corey!
I heard you're leaving us to go make a big movie.
- Yeah. - What movie is it?
It's called Lost Boys.
Wow! That's so cool. Don't you think?
Yeah, pretty cool.
You know, since you're leaving us and all,
we wanted to give you something to remember us by.
[toilet flushes]
[groaning]
Hey, what's go--
What's going on in here?
What time is it? Aren't you supposed to be in school?
We had a half-day.
Oh. Come in here and watch the stories with me. Come on.
Give me some ice, please.
Corey.
Corey?
Corey, what the hell is that?
What did you do to your face?
I slipped and fell.
This is what pays the bills, son!
If you don't get paid, we don't get paid.
I'm sorry.
Don't you ever do that again, you understand me?
You...
You need to get some ice on this.
Do you hear me?
Ice.
[sobbing]
[ringing]
You've reached the Goldsteins.
We can't come to the phone right now.
- Please leave a message. - [beep]
Hey, man, it's Corey. Corey Haim.
Listen, I'm really excited 'cause I heard
we're gonna be working together on The Lost Boys.
And I think it's funny that we have the same name, so...
Hello.
Corey?
Hey.
Hey, man, how are you?
I'm good.
What are you doing this weekend?
Well, my dad's supposed to pick me up on Saturday.
Cool, 'cause I'm going to the beach with my dad,
so maybe we can meet up and play a game of football?
- Yeah, that sounds like fun. - Awesome.
It'll be gre to finally meet
the other Corey everyone keeps talking about.
Yeah, it would.
All right, well, see you there.
Yeah, sure.
[horn honking]
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey. Give your old man a hug.
Your mom say what time you gotta be home?
No.
BOB: How's she doing anyway?
- She's good. - Yeah?
- She ever talk about me? - Not really.
I didn't think so.
Gimme five.
Up high.
Down low.
- Where do you wanna go? - The beach.
To the beach.
BERNIE: Hey! Ready, set...
hut, hut, hut!
BOB: One banana, two banana, three banana, four!
� [upbeat]
I'm gonna go around this side of you.
Hut!
BOB: One banana, two banana, three banana, four!
You're here. The bad guys are over here, right?
I'm here, you're here.
Ohh! Ohh!
Hut! Ready, go!
Come on, Corey!
Corey, I put it right in your hands!
- Don't worry about it. - I hit him right in the chest.
Good try, buddy!
Corey!
- Three fingers. - Okay, let's do that.
Okay, so... it's here. Uh-huh.
Here we go, okay, ready? One more time.
- Are you ready for this? - Yeah.
HAIM: Looking back now,
it felt like we'd known each other forever.
We had the same sense of humor,
the same crazy ambition,
and the same quest for adventure.
So my dad's like screaming at me,
"Stop, you're gonna put the puck in the wrong net!"
[laughs] That's awesome.
I can't even skate.
It's not that hard, man. I can teach you.
My mom would kill me.
Really? Why?
She's got this thing where she's like obsessed about me.
You know, not messing up my face for work.
You know, I can't even ride my bike around the block.
I had to sneak it out the garage.
Yeah, but I bet you were fine, right?
Hey, wait.
What's with the 222?
Oh, um...
This is like a thing that I have with my dad.
So you can like divide it by any number.
It's infinite.
That's funny. My favorite number's 22.
Okay, so let me get this straight.
Your name is Corey, my name is Corey.
You're an actor, I'm an actor.
You're Jewish, and I'm Jewish.
Your number is 22, and my number is 222.
But mine's just two numbers, so it's better.
Oh, no, it is not! Come on!
anyone I'd ever met before.
He had a way about him that would just suck you in.
He was confident, he was cool.
I knew he was going to be a big star.
I finally asked Robyn out.
FELDMAN: Funny thing was I think he knew it too.
- Really? - Yeah.
She told the guy that she was with,
"Sorry, I gotta break up with you.
Corey Haim just asked me out."
Robyn actually said that?
Yeah. We're going out tomorrow night.
I think we might go see The Goonies.
Jerk.
You know I liked her.
Okay! That's enough with the pillows!
What about that one girl you told me about, hmm?
You know, the one from Raging Waters?
She's kinda cool.
But she's not Robyn Lively.
I get that.
- Okay, all right. - [laughing]
Hey, have you heard this one yet?
No.
Super funny.
It's yours if you want it.
My grandparents wouldn't let me.
Oh, come on, take it. It's yours.
Serious?
Yeah, man.
Yo.
You wanna see something super cool?
� [pop]
HAIM: How many girls have you banged?
What?
Feldog.
How much ass are you getting?
Got a girlfriend.
And?
And what?
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
You're not a virgin, are you?
No.
- Yes, you are. - No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are. - No, I'm not!
Yes, you are! [laughs]
So you're telling me that you and your girlfriend haven't--
- No! We just met. - So?
Isn't it supposed to be like special or something?
Ugh!
[laughs]
What about your first time? Let's hear it.
Well, um...
When I was on the set of Lucas,
I kinda hooked up with this guy and...
What?
I'm not gay or anything.
Its just kinda like what you do, you know?
What who does?
Hollywood.
Whatever. It's just like the boys' club, right?
Did you tell anyone?
- Producers know? - No.
He said that if I did, my career would be over.
- He said that? - Yeah.
Corey...
Never mind. Just drop it.
FELDMAN: Before you knew it,
we were on our way up to Santa Cruz
to start production on The Lost Boys.
It was our first movie together.
Okay, now can we do this?
You know, I can't concentrate unless I have a girl,
so if you want me to do this...
Can we just get through the scene?
My new chaperone's gonna be here any minute now.
Who is this guy again?
I told you. He's a friend from LA.
A babysitter.
Man, just read with me, okay?
Okay, fine.
Don't you think it's a little weird
your brother's sleeping all the time?
FELDMAN: Not long after we started shooting,
my mother became more concerned with snorting cocaine
than with being my on-set chaperone,
so the studio called in a new one.
It's the police! We have word on unaccompanied minors in here.
FELDMAN: My mom chose Marty.
I met Marty Weiss when he gave me an award
for best young actor fo r Gremlins.
Now was standing in my hotel room in Santa Cruz.
Oh, it is really great to meet this one.
You. This is great.
Like, you're amazing.
I mean, he's good and all that, but you, you are great.
Amazing.
Two-- One, two Coreys? Oh, my God.
Am I even allowed to hang out? My name's not Corey.
Yeah, of course, man, come on.
How you doing, Marty?
What are you guys doing here?
Just hanging out, reading lines?
Trying to get laid.
We're running lines.
- Uh-huh. - Want some?
Wouldn't make me a very good chaperone now, would it?
Come on. This Santa Cruz ... is like the best.
MARTY: No.
You know any girls, Marty?
Marty's gay.
Well, I don't know about gay.
I like boys as much I like girls.
I mean, I don't know if you'd call that gay.
I got an idea. Why don't you hook up with Marty,
and we can get back to work, all right?
I could, you know, if you wanted me to.
I was kidding.
[coughing]
Oh, hey! Hey, no, no, no, Corey. You don't need that, man.
You just need to relax, okay?
You don't need that stuff, man.
[whispering]
Okay.
Yeah!
Dude, I was joking.
- Hey. - Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
You look so familiar.
I feel like I know you.
Hey, you should come over.
I might be able to cheer you up.
- Hop in. - Okay.
[tape rewinding]
� [mellow]
I've never done this before.
It's easy. Don't worry.
Just loosen up.
Good.
[gasps]
Mmm.
Your turn.
It's okay.
[loud snort]
Ugh.
Just breathe.
Relax.
[sniffs]
[chuckles]
It's good, huh?
Are we still sad?
Hell yeah.
I can't believe I'm doing coke with Mouth.
[snorts]
� There are no spaces that come between us �
� Our bodies moving in time as one �
Okay, I saw on TV, there was this UFO.
- There are pictures out there. - The pictures look so real.
- God, it's huge. - It's massive.
� I can't �
� You'll be found �
Oh, ....
Kid, Schumacher's gonna shit a brick
and smash your skull in with it.
Wait, are you high?
[chuckles] And I thought I was the bad one.
Uh, good luck.
Corey.
Thanks.
Do you have any idea
how much an hour of shooting costs me, Feldman?
Do you have any idea? Take a guess.
Sorry.
What's wrong with you?
Look at me, look at me. Look at me.
Are you on drugs?
- No, I'm not. - Yes, you are.
I didn't get any sleep last night.
The night shoots are killing me, man.
Well, heaven forbid our little production here
interfere with your beauty sleep.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't we call the studio,
and let's tell them that we're all gonna take a day off
because Corey Feldman is tired.
I can do it, okay? Just gimme a minute.
- Take all the time you need. - Thanks, I just--
'Cause you're fired.
Fired? Why?
Because I couldn't sleep? Man, come on.
Was I not clear when you were sitting right back here?
- If you just give me a minute-- - Get the hell off my set!
FELDMAN: It took some serious groveling,
but I managed to convince Joel to let me finish the film.
HAIM: A lot of people don't know this,
but he was actually the first one
to call us The Two Coreys.
�
FELDMAN: It wasn't long before mydeep end.
The silver lining was I got to move in with my dad
at his bachelor pad in Hollywood.
[coughs]
Okay, so he wasn't the best role model.
[laughing]
By 1987, being my manager
had become my father's full-time job.
He decided to open his own management firm.
Well, it depends on how serious you are about your--
Hey, Corey!
FELDMAN: Meanwhile, Haim and I were going out to clubs
almost every single night.
Eventually, my dad hired this guy named Doug
just to keep us out of trouble.
HAIM: He just made things even worse.
Hey, guys.
You, you're with me now. Come on.
� [club]
Ohh!
- Hey! - Whoo!
So Schumacher is pissed,
like red in the face, screaming at him
about how he was about to fire him right on the spot.
Wanna know what he says to him?
He says, "You better watch out before I get you fired."
[laughing]
That's not exactly how it happened.
The balls on this kid. I love him.
� [pop]
Feldog, you gotta show us some moves.
- No, no, no, not tonight. - Come on, Feldman.
Absolutely have to. Come on.
- [applause] - Yeah!
� [continues]
� Not a word from your lips �
� You just took for granted that I want to skinny dip �
� A quick hit That's your game �
� But I'm not a piece of meat Stimulate my brain �
� Night is young So are we �
- Where'd he learn to do that? - Michael Jackson.
� Take my hand Let's hit the floor �
� Shake our bodies to the music �
� Maybe then you'll score �
� So come on, baby Won't you show some class �
� Why do you wanna move so fast �
� We don't have to take our clothes off �
� To have a good time �
[laughing]
HAIM: I love you.
[shrieks]
Is everybody in? Where's Corey?
�
� All I can manage to push from my lips �
� Is a stream of absurdities �
� Every word I intended to speak �
� Winds up locked in a circuitry �
� No way to control it �
� It's totally automatic �
� Whenever you're around �
� I'm walking blindfolded �
� Completely automatic �
� All of my systems are down �
So you seeing MJ again next week?
Yeah. Thank you.
- And? - And what?
What are you doing? Can I come?
Um, no.
Come on, man, when do I get to meet Mike?
First of all, it's not "Mike," okay?
Watch. I'll be like, "Hey, Mike, how's it going?"
And he's gonna be like, [falsetto] "Hey, Corey."
I think we should go to Disneyland and hang out.
Stop, stop. Don't do that.
Dude, I can't believe you're friends with Michael Jackson,
the Thriller.
Hee-hee!
Hoo!
Stop. Shut up.
[laughs]
I guess I'm his friend
'cause we get each other.
Not a lot of people do.
Yeah, I bet.
What?
[falsetto] I understand you, Corey.
What the hell's wrong with you?
You have no idea what this looks like, do you?
[kiss]
It's not like that.
Right.
Just like it's not like that with Doug either.
Okay, look, just 'cause you got all your little friends--
You haven't done one thing with Doug?
He works for my dad.
Don't compare him to your friends.
He's a 20-something-year-old
spending all of his time with a teenager.
You do the math, bro!
Corey!
Shit.
Corey, come on, man.
HAIM: A little partying was all it took
to calm Feldman down.
Of course, it seemed like a little partying
was all we did.
- [tires skidding] - [crash]
Bernie?
It's Corey. He's home.
Hey, Dad. Hey, Mom.
What are you guys doing up?
Well, we had something important
we wanted to talk to you about, remember?
You were supposed to be home by 10:00 last night.
It's 7:30 in the morning.
You're staying out all night, sleeping all day?
I mean, look at you. You look terrible.
I'm fine. I just-- I'm tired.
Your eyes are bloodshot.
I'm fine, just... I'll go to bed.
- Nope. - No, Corey.
You're going to sit.
Go on.
Okay.
We found these in your room.
You wanna tell me what these are,
these California vitamins
you're getting from one of your new friends?
What am I looking at here, huh? What is this?
Did you get it from Doug? Did you get it from Tony?
Okay.
Out there, you might be a big shot,
going out to all these clubs, hanging out with God knows who,
but I'm gonna tell you something.
You don't know a damn thing.
You don't understand.
What's this?
We're getting a divorce, Corey.
You have to understand.
Everything has just-- has been moving so fast lately.
Because of me?
No, sweetheart, of course not.
It's just that...
with everything that's been going on,
your father and I, we just--
We realized that we would be better off
if we go our own ways.
But what about me, huh?
What about Cari?
Where is she gonna go?
Your sister's going with him. She got into a good school.
She doesn't like LA anyway.
You'll stay with me, and we'll be fine!
Judy, I don't even know who that boy is anymore.
You are in no position to judge him.
BERNIE: How am I judging him?
I wanna rescue him. Are you kidding?
Everyone's saying yes to him. Everyone is enabling him.
JUDY: When you come down hard on him, that does not help him.
BERNIE: We have no control! I mean, these producers,
do you know what they're giving him?
They're sewing things into the sleeves of their costumes.
He needs to be woken up!
The more we coddle him, the deeper he's gonna go.
Everyone says yes to him! Someone has to say no!
JUDY: He's going through a phase, okay?
BERNIE: This is not a phase!
This is happening to him! This is happening to us!
The doctor is in.
You're welcome.
Get some music going, huh?
No, no...
Yep.
This is a good one.
� [pop]
Now we got a party going.
- Stop. - Come on, get up.
Dance or something. Come on.
� [continues]
Such a bore sometimes, you know that?
[music stops]
At least we got a magazine.
Will you scooch?
I... I know her.
You know her?
Mm-hmm.
Shit. She's hot.
Yeah.
She was.
Super hot.
Good work.
Wha--
What are you...
Is this okay?
I don't know.
Come on, man.
Just close your eyes, pretend I'm a girl.
[chuckles]
Come on, man. Haim does it. All the guys do it.
You told me Haim does it.
Yeah.
But all the guys? I don't know.
I bet the girls think you're really cute, huh?
All the hotties go for Haim.
You know what? I think they're selling you short, man.
You're a good-looking man. Don't forget it.
Just relax, man. You're tense, you're tense.
Just chill.
Shh. Just take it easy.
Take it easy, man.
BOB: Corey!
Corey, come on, get up.
Come on, what's the story, morning glory?
Chop-chop, it's 11 a.m.
Hey!
What? It's okay. I'm getting up.
Come on!
Jeez.
- You awake? - Yes.
I didn't get much sleep last night.
Oh, really?
What was her name?
That's not funny, Dad.
Don't forget.
You got an appointment with Rosner at 1 p.m. sharp.
I can't be there with you because I got this lunch thing,
so you're gonna have to take the bus, okay?
- Okay? - Okay!
Do you think we could jam later?
What?
No. Corey, what are you talking about?
You have the Hollywood Squares today,
and I gotta prep for that gig.
Come on. It's business-business. Let's go.
I don't wanna do Squares, Dad, okay?
I wanna go for that John Hughes thing I was talking about.
You take care of the acting.
Leave the management to me, okay?
I think I've done right by you so far, haven't I?
Now, listen, I left the address on the counter.
- Are you awake? - Yes.
Get moving. Chop-chop, Corey. Let's go.
With all this stuff going on, I needed a friendly face,
so called the only person I knew I could trust.
He's putting me on all these jobs,
and I'm just... tired.
Sounds crazy. I wouldn't expect you to understand.
You'd be surprised.
He's got me going on Hollywood Squares.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
Corey, that's a big mistake.
You gotta talk to your father.
Shows like that are for people at the end of their careers.
You're just getting started.
You gotta talk to your dad.
- He won't listen to me. - Please.
Call him, okay? I'll talk to him myself.
- You'll talk to him? - Yes, I'll talk to him.
There's the phone.
Yeah, I know. I know this business.
Please listen to me. I know.
I understand.
All right, okay.
Yes, sir. All right.
Okay, Mr. Feldman. Bye.
Listen.
- I couldn't do it. - It's fine.
I'm sorry. I couldn't convince him.
Michael, you tried. It's okay.
Look at me. You deserve better.
FELDMAN: A couple of months later,
I was brought in to audition for the lead role
in a big studio comedy.
Finally I was going to be the lead in my own film.
Okay, Corey.
Let's pick it up with the highlighted portion on page 66.
I'm not taking the car tonight.
My dad would ground me for life.
He would literally chain me in the basement.
Don't be ridiculous.
FELDMAN: Unfortunately, the producers had other ideas.
Look, I'm not saying that we can't go out tonight.
I'm just saying that we can't go out in my father's car.
I'm not saying we can't go out tonight.
I'm saying we can't go out in my father's car.
Do you or do you not want the hottest chick in school
to go out with you?
Well...
My dad thinks I have my license,
so what could possibly go wrong?
[laughs]
Yeah!
That was great, Corey. Great.
FELDMAN: You said you weren't even reading for it.
- My mom made me, dude. - Bullshit!
Seriously, Feldog?
You know I wouldn't go behind your back like that.
That's exactly what you did.
[video game beeps]
Hey.
This is gonna be fun, okay?
You get to play the best friend.
He's way funnier and cooler anyway.
You have no idea what's it's like, do you?
It's always Corey Haim.
Corey Haim, Corey Haim, Corey Haim, Corey Haim!
- This was gonna be my thing. - Look...
I'll make it up to you, okay?
Hey.
Don't worry, be happy.
Come on, man. I'm starving.
Let's go to Big Boy's.
- I gotta go by the bank. - Ah, there we go.
What the hell does "overdraft" mean?
� With eyes on the prize �
� Put yourself to the limit �
� You're playing to win it �
� You know that you'll never surrender �
� Never surrender �
BOB: It's pretty good, but were not pushing...
- Dad! - Hey.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Give me a minute, guys.
What's up?
What happened? There's no money in the bank.
What the hell are you talking about?
- My money. - Before you answer,
tell me what you want the money for?
What do you care? It's my money.
You're my responsibility.
Responsibility? Oh, you're such an adult.
Look at you.
You think that I'm stupid?
You think I was born yesterday,
that I don't what's going on with you and Haim, huh?
We both know where that money would go.
That's none of your business, all right? It's my money.
When you're old enough to handle your own finances, we'll talk.
Until then, I'm your manager. Let me do my job.
Job?
Like you have something else lined up for me.
I got you an audition this morning.
- What for? - PBS movie.
PBS?
That's right, and it's a starring role.
That doesn't mean shit, Dad. It's still PBS.
It's a good opportunity.
Now, if you don't mind, you're not the only Feldman
in the entertainment business, all right?
I gotta get back to work.
Dad, you're fired as my manager.
What'd you just say?
Look, I love you, and it's nice living with you and everything,
but you've been a really crappy manager lately.
You've made a lot of really bad decisions for my career.
Oh, that's right.
I forgot. You're 16. You know everything.
I just...
I need my manager to be professional, okay?
I need a dad, man. We don't hang out anymore.
You know what?
You come down here, and you disrespect me?
Who do you think you are?
If I'm not your manager, I'm not your father.
From the top!
FELDMAN: For his loss of business,
my father requested $40,000.
Coincidentally, that was all that was left of my assets.
Both my parents came to the hearing,
pretending to be a happy couple.
BAILIFF: All rise.
FELDMAN: The judge granted my emancipation.
$40,000.
I guess that's the going rate for a son.
After that, I got my own place in Studio City.
I finally had a place to crash without my parents.
HAIM: That's about the time
when Doug became Feldman's assistant full time,
which basically means he introduced us
to all kinds of new drugs.
FELDMAN: Acid.
HAIM: 'Shrooms.
FELDMAN: Crack.
[horn honks]
HAIM: And the granddaddy of them all...
- [horn honking] - [shouting]
FELDMAN: Chiva.
HAIM: Heroin in Spanish.
[laughing]
- Gracias, amigo. - Gracias, amigo!
Scene 91, take one, mark.
Action!
That's Mr. Weingartner.
He thinks the new neighbors are up to something.
Sinister.
Let's start from the top.
Scene 91, take four, mark.
That's Mr. Weingartner.
He thinks the neighbors are--
Start again, please.
Cut.
Neighbors are up to something.
- Cut. - Mark!
That's Mr. Weingartner.
He thinks the new neighbors are up to something sinister.
Take 19.
Mark.
[snorts] That's the new neighbor.
I mean, [snort] that's Mr. Weingartner.
He thinks the new neighbors are up to something...
[snort] sinister.
Cut.
Okay, let's go back from the top.
You're in my seat.
Oh.
You're looking healthy today. You feel good?
Yeah.
I know you think you're fooling everyone, but you're not.
You're a talented actor, Corey,
but if you continue down this road,
you're gonna throw it all away.
- Is that what you want? - I've heard the stories.
You're no angel yourself, Princess Leia.
You're right. I used to be you.
I've got it under control.
I know you haven't seen what the bottom looks like yet,
but I just...
I hope to God you never have to find out.
�
� Out of the darkness and into the light �
[loud music]
[laughter]
� Now check me out �
� I'm the best around �
� Gonna show 'em that I... �
What you need to do is you need to concentrate.
Back straight.
Pull back and...
- Oh! - Whoo!
- Did you see that? - Corey!
Corey!
You said you were just inviting a few of your friends.
And a few of their friends invited a few other friends.
Come on, you know how this stuff goes.
The production company is going to kill us!
Oh, my gosh.
No, they are not! You wanna know why?
Because we will pick it up before they come.
Hey, man, how's it going?
- Sorry. - Goodbye.
Alrighty.
It's your turn to bowl. Now you're coming with me.
MAN: Everybody out! Party's over!

[siren blaring]

- How we doing tonight? - Good, sir. How are you doing?
Can I get your license and registration, please?
Yes, sir, yeah, let me get that for you.
Where you heading so late?
I was heading home, you know. Just, uh...
You been drinking at all?
No, sir.
- Let's have that registration. - Yes, sir.
- Thank you. - Yes, sir.
You mind opening that glove compartment again, please?
Uh, I'm sorry?
Can you please open up your glove compartment again, please?
I already gave you my registration.
Okay, let's go. Out of the car. Let's go!
Is it 'cause I ran the damn stop sign? I mean...
- Hands on your head. - Jesus Christ.
MICHAEL JACKSON ON TV: I always find it difficult
to take credit for my work
because I feel like most of my work is spiritual,
to be able to create something unique and special
that is gonna touch people.
And I think what we wanna do
is you wanna give love and light across the world.
It's the fans that keep you going.
I'm always thinking of them, no matter where they are.
I never give up.
Rehab?
Yeah, man, we can do it together.
No, no, no. I'm good.
Good? How many pills did you take this morning?
I told you, it's my back.
Your back? Man, that's bullshit.
Mr. Sober-For-A-Week trying to preach to me.
Yeah, man, we shouldn't work together anymore.
What? What is that supposed to mean?
Carrie was right, man. We're out of control.
Oh, so you're now taking advice from Princess Leia.
That's rich.
What do you expect me to do, Feldman?
Figure it out.
[engine starts]
[phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
- [beep] - FELDMAN: Hey, it's me.
You were supposed to pick me up.
Guess I'll take a cab. Thanks.
JUDY: Corey.
Corey? Oh, my God.
Oh, my god. What did you take?
Corey, talk to me!
We need a doctor here!
He's in cardiac arrest. Looks like an OD.
Any idea what he took?
Her mom thinks somas and Valium, but she's not sure.
- Get him into OR! - Corey?
Ma'am, I need you to wait here.
Okay, that's good.
Hi, can you hear me?
Let's get monitor, please.
Where's that crash caddy?
Can you hear me?
Is your name Corey?
Do you feel anything?
[steady beeping]
Corey.
Hey.
- I'm here. - Where am I?
You had an overdose. Come on.
The doctor said you need to take it easy.
But I don't remember anything.
It's okay. That's normal.
They said you wouldn't remember.
I'm just glad you're okay.
I'm scared.
I know.
I was scared too.
We almost lost you.
I'm just glad you're okay.
Just stay here, okay? Don't leave.
No.
I'm staying here with you no matter what, hmm?
Do you remember that song I used to sing to you?
- When you were a little boy? - Yeah.

TV HOST: As time progressed,
Corey Haim found himself succumbing
to the demons of Hollywood.
The tabloids that once celebrated
the young star's rise to fame
now seem to relish his demise.
And what a fall from grace it was.
After the bomb of Dream a Little Dream,
Corey Haim was done-zo.
No one in Hollywood would to touch the former heartthrob.
Two Coreys?
More like "Who Coreys."
[click]
You're Mouth.
I'm sorry?
From The Goonies.
Yeah, I am.
What'd you do with all your money?
Excuse me?
The treasure.
Oh.
Well, you know it's make-believe, right?
Yeah, sure.
[chuckles]
Another reality show?
Look, your wedding on The Surreal Life
was one of the highest-rated episodes ever.
M.C. Hammer? I mean, the whole thing was amazing.
I knew that was a mistake.
That show reminded people how much they like you.
Then get me a movie.
A real movie! Not this crap!
Look, I'm married now.
Susie and I, we have a son.
I need to be making some real money.
I hear you, but my phone isn't exactly
ringing off the hook with offers for a former child star
who hasn't had a hit in 10 years.
I was in the one of the biggest independent films of the '90s.
The voice of a turtle puppet doesn't count.
How far in debt are you?
I don't know. 80,000.
So being taken seriously is the least of your problems.
You said wanted to do another comedy again.
Exactly. Comedy, not reality.
This is scripted reality.
Scripted?
They're gonna make you an EP,
which means if you want, you could work on the scripts.
And, not to mention,
it's a chance to get Haim back in the game.
Haim? I-- I'm not calling Haim.
I haven't spoken to him in years.
HAIM: After my overdose,
my mom decided that I needed to be
as far away from LA as possible.
"For my own safety," she said.
It's not going to be that bad.
The doctor said it would be good for me.
It will be good for both of us.
You want some breakfast?
It would've been okay, you know.
Just a normal kid going to a normal high school.
I know.
[sniffles]
Hey.
- We're going to be okay. - Yeah, we are.
[phone rings]
I'll get it, okay?
[ringing continues]
Here we go.
Yes!
So Corey Feldman's got himself a little Goonie now.
[chuckles] Yeah.
Guess I'm finally an adult.
So how you doing?
I'm good.
Sober?
Yeah.
Pretty much.
My dad got me into this outpatient program,
so I go every now and again.
It's good to hear.
Yeah, and I'm thinking about getting back into acting too.
Nothing too big.
Just trying out for some local stuff up here.
So hey, um...
[chuckles] They wanna do a show with us.
You and me and Susie.
You're gonna be like an extra roommate.
Like a reality show?
Scripted reality.
[chuckles] What the hell is that?
It's like reality, right?
But we can write it, so we can make it funny.
So it's a comedy.
Yeah.
We could show people how great we are doing comedy together.
Yeah.
What's wrong, man?
Thought you'd be pumped.
We're back in the game. You and me.
I honestly thought you came up here
to talk about Lost Boys 2.
I'm working on it. I promise.
Okay?
But I think, in the meantime,
this TV show could be a good thing,
if you can handle it.
�
DIRECTOR: And action.
[doorbell rings]
- Oh, man! Corey! - There he is! My man!
Dude!
- It is so good to see you. - It's good to see you too.
You look so good. Look at you.
You got something to eat? I'm starving.
Of course, yeah.
What?
You gotta be kidding me.
Warners was very clear.
The deal was for you and you alone.
Okay, you can't do the Lost B oys without Corey.
All right? It was his movie.
The studio believes they can. Look.
You know his reputation better than anyone.
No one will bond him.
He's doing better.
They can call the producers of the series
if they don't believe me.
Look, the question is,
how far do you want to push this?
What do you mean?
They said they'd be willing to give him a cameo,
but you have to get him to rehab.
You're responsible for him.
Hey, we're ready for you, Corey.
I have to go.
You have to give me something to tell them.
Corey? You there?
So?
What did he have to say?
Uh, just that...
it's happening.
No kidding.
Hah! Lost Boys 2?
- Yeah. - Wow.
I was starting to think that they were never gonna make it.
Tell me about it.
Did they say when we start filming?
Uh, I start filming early next year.
What about me?
[sighs] Uh...
No, no.
Tell me I'm in the movie, man.
It's...
It's a small part.
How small?
You know, a cameo.
A cameo? So basically I'm not in it?
I told them that I wouldn't do it without you.
What, so they gave me the smallest part possible?
Hey, Corey, come on.
Corey!
Did you know I even started writing the script myself?
No.
For years, it was all I ever wanted.
A chance to prove that we still got it.
I told you already, man. You're in the movie.
Yeah. A cameo!
Hey, don't get mad at me.
Get out of here.
This was supposed to be our big thing, man.
Our comeback, where we prove everyone wrong.
I had to fight just to get you this.
Your reputation is still weighing you down, Corey.
Didn't you tell them that I was better?
I'm not that guy anymore.
You know that. They need to know that.
Yeah, actually, that's part of the deal.
What?
I had to promise them that you would go to rehab.
I already told you. I'm in an outpatient program.
Outpatient program. An outpatient program, I know.
I mean real rehab.
How long?
[scoffs]
I don't know. Weeks? Months?
All right? However long it takes.
Listen, come back to LA with me.
Go to rehab.
Do the movie.
Then who knows?
Maybe they'll make a third one.
FELDMAN: I pulled some strings and got Haim
into the same facility that I dried out at.
[horn honks]
Hey.
How's your mom doing?
I wanna grab a drink before I go in.
You're kidding.
Come on, man.
One last hurrah.
[engine starts]
So can I get you something else to eat?
Maybe some macho nachos or some wings?
No, we're good, thank you.
All right, you've had enough.
So?
I'm going to rehab, remember?
You wanna show up drunk?
You should be happy I'm showing up at all.
Okay, seriously, enough!
Okay, okay, I'll stop.
Thanks, Corey Feldman.
You're a great mentor.
Can we just have like a normal conversation
where you're not drinking?
Can we just talk?
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Let's talk.
Let's talk about how you let me get raped by a guy
that you used to hang out with.
Or we chat about the knife that I keep in my pocket.
Or the reason that I wear this to cover up the scars
from when I used to cut into myself.
Seriously, what'd you do when your friend
started going down on a 14-year-old?
Your best friend.
What'd you do?
You did coke with me.
God bless you.
I was being molested at the same time, Corey.
So what? Somehow that makes us even?
I'm just saying you're not the only victim here.
I was there for you.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
You told me, remember?
When I was asleep, this happened and this happened.
But you weren't asleep, were you?
Were you asleep?
I was awake, Corey.
And I was very aware of what was going on with me.
And that's my fault. That's my fault, right?
Why don't you get your shit together
and start taking some responsibility for yourself?
Because people are tired of being your goddamn babysitter.
How about some more chips?
Okay.
You know what? It's really not good,
me being around you.
You're very detrimental to my health.
You've really screwed me up,
and I really can't be your friend anymore, so...
Corey.
Corey!
Nice.
Nice, Corey, yeah.
Go on. That's a good look for you.
- Leave me alone. - Why should I?
Because you're so capable of taking care of yourself?
Just leave me alone.
I'm so tired of this new act of yours, all right?
I'm going back to Toronto.
I'm trying to help you!
Yeah, why? To make yourself feel better?
[chuckles] No, no.
I know that you like seeing me like this.
When I'm gone, maybe you'll have to face the fact
that you're just as messed up as me.
But no.
You'll probably find someone else to blame
because that's what you do, Corey.
You blame everybody else but yourself.
Are you angry?
You wanna hit me? Go ahead.
- You're crazy. - Come on, man, take a shot.
Seriously?
You've been waiting years for this.
Now's your chance to prove how much of a better man you are.
- Corey! - Go on.
Do it!
Hey.
FELDMAN: It was years before I would see Haim again.
Susie and I were divorced,
but I was still a part of my son's life.
One night, I had to attend an event at a Hollywood party.
Well, you have a good night, buddy. I love you.
All right. Tell your mother hi.
Good night.
�
Hey, there he is. How's it going, man?
Corey!
What's going on, man?
Good to see you.
Feldog.
Hey, man.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm really good. How you doing?
I'm good.
I'm clean.
I got a new movie.
It's a sequel to the one with Jason Statham,
where he's got the bad heart.
- Crank. - Yeah, yeah, Crank.
It's a small part.
A cameo, really, but, uh...
It's a start.
Well, to fresh starts.
Man, it is really good to see you.
It's good to see you too, man.
FELDMAN: We got some catching up to do.
You look really good.
I don't know. It feels weird somehow.
Like different.
Yeah.
You know, when I was younger,
I would've gone nuts in this place.
- Yeah? - Mm.
I think you actually did.
[sighs] Yeah, I guess I did, didn't I?
Yeah.
You know, when I was in rehab,
I spent a lot of time thinking about you.
What the hell what I'm doing, man?
I don't wanna be that 40-year-old
who shows up at parties, pretending he's 20.
I want a life.
I want a family.
Here, come on. I'll give you a ride.
Hey, actually, uh...
you mind if we make a stop first?
No, no, no. Nothing like that.
Just, uh...
Just trust me, all right?
All right, sure. Come on.
[chuckling]
Okay.
You got me.
Where are you taking me at five in the morning?
Trust me.
Hey, before I forget...
I wanna thank you.
For what?
For tonight.
For everything.
I finally saw what was it like
to see the world through your eyes.
And you know what?
It's really beautiful.
We were pretty good together, huh?
I was pretty good. You were all right.
Hey.
The Two Coreys.
Come on.
