He has never waivered over the years in saying this goes on. He is no power player so who is going to side with him or any other "kid" that was abused? Especially when he says they were treated as if this was completely normal. His own parents didn't look after him, and I bet alot of the other kids parents turned a blind eye as well. He might have a chance to get people to believe him or help stop this now that a huge industry leader is being held accountable. It seems from past interviews over the years he has tried to do something to stop it but heard lots of echos of what Barbara Walters said to him on that "The View" interview.
I don't know about the movie, but personally I give him a pass on if thats how he needs to do it. Someone should have helped him and the others years ago.

While I believe he was molested as a child, probably by a powerful Hollywood exec, I wouldn't give him 1 penny. He has an addiction problem and I believe that's where the money would go, not to make a movie.
I do think all of this Weinstein talk has brought out his demons but I don't believe for a second he is stable enough to handle this amount of money.

He needs to just say who did what. He does seem like he is being truthful. I agree that he is putting himself more at risk by letting people know that he is going to name names, but then withhold until the documentary comes out. He should name names, then follow up with the documentary showing how his life has been impacted if that is what he wants.

I do think all of this Weinstein talk has brought out his demons but I don't believe for a second he is stable enough to handle this amount of money. He has been sober for over 20 years. He never said it was a director. He has never said what this person does in the industry. I'm thinking studio head or producer. They have much more power than a director and can make or break a career. The only other powerful are casting directors. The movie is so Coery cannot be sued for slander. The truth but under the guise of naming no names but I'm sure it will be someone very well known to those in the business. I do do not think for one minute Corey is doing this to restart his career. He has been haunted and traumatized by this since he was a young child.

He needs to tread very carefully he has expressed.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t investigated who he’s worked with in the past and come up with a list of potential names.

He needs to tread very carefully he has expressed. There are a number of Indie houses that would give him work. One does not *have* to cater to the big studios. If he were to find a ghostwriter/partner, writing and selling a book on this topic would probably give him a healthy bank account, in addition to shopping his story to a variety of people who would be well-equipped to successfully bring it to the screen. It is certainly is his right to tell his story in any way he wants to. For me, this path just seems to add extra drama and somehow feels odd/off.

There’s a message board where people have looked closely at the people both Coreys worked with. There seems to be an overwhelming consensus that one of the big names that abused Corey Haim is Charlie Sheen (purely speculation, of course) Some people have even gone so far as to say that Sheen is the person who first molested Haim and told him that this is a normal occurrence in Hollywood.

Btw, in 1993 Corey Feldman told the police the names of the Hollywood people who molested him and they did nothing.

The movie is so Coery cannot be sued for slander. I don't get this. If this really happened to him, and to others (and I don't doubt that it did), then how can it be slander? is there a statute of limitations on charging someone with this type of crime? is that not what he's talking about doing? Why is HE so hesitant to discuss what happened, but the women who have come out have not been? should they not be worried about slander just as much as him? I just don't get why it has to be done as a movie, and how THAT protects him. or he could just have people donate money to a defense fund instead of donating money to make a movie.

I also feel terrible for him. I can't imagine that a "Hollywood career" is worth what he went through. I agree. The campaign to get enough money to make his movie may be the ultimate proof of how damaged he is- he won't tell the wider world/ press who put him through it unless he can have another "Hollywood career" ( director / producer / actor) doing it. The movie business is another type of addiction, IMO.

Something is wrong here.

He's named one of the abusers now. The article says two, but I only see the name Jon Grissom. "Grissom had previous related charges on his record, including a “a 2001 arrest for child molestation charges.” Despite Grissom having been found guilty in 2003, the Reporter noted that he had not registered as a sex offender with the state of California" www.cbsnews.com/news/corey-feldman-names-two-of-his-alleged-sexual-abusers/
