We need their permission.’We haven’t even gotten a response. It’s the weirdest thing because it is more of a fan-driven idea. It’s not going to be a blockbuster. It’s not going to be a financial windfall for any of us.’We all like each other, we all like working together, and if we could do it, it’d be fun.’But Warner Bros. – and I’m not hating on them – they just haven’t gotten back to us.
