The producers of the film made the film without Mr Feldman\u2019s knowledge and obtained the footage through dishonest means. Mr. Feldman is investigating the source of the footage, the producer\u2019s claimed rights to it, and the role of his name, image, and likeness. Mr. Feldman plans to pursue all legal options available to him once his investigation is complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, director Marcie Hume has released a scene from the doc, in which Feldman grabs the camera and turns it around on her, saying: \u201cTwo shot, here\u2019s the deal: So Marcie\u2019s on the bus with us, because Marcie is the documentarian who is making the film that you\u2019re watching. Now that she\u2019s living the life with us, she is part of the adventure, whether she likes it or not. You can\u2019t just be a bird on a wall, or a fly on the wall, when you\u2019re living it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She shared a statement along with the clip, saying: \u201cFilming intensely with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/corey-feldman\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,corey-feldman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Corey Feldman<\/a> was to watch him battle the world. This is no longer just a metaphor: It\u2019s the foundation of why this film is titled \u2018Corey Feldman vs. the World.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI somehow never imagined that he would so fully turn that same reflex on me: The exact same suspicion, flattening of nuance, and the insistence that anything complicated must be an attack. I should not feel shocked, but I somehow held hope that he would see the care that went into this film. Somehow, I always hold out hope for him.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI spent nearly a decade making this film, not just embedding on the Corey\u2019s Angels tour and living inside the chaos and vulnerability, but also building an extremely complicated portrait that is entertaining, difficult, and deeply human. It is an honest film about a complicated person moving through a world built for spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOne moment caught a brief spark in media coverage. But the movie is bigger than a headline.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are releasing a deleted scene now because we have to. Corey is publicly saying he does not know how we obtained the footage. This is a small, plain glimpse of the reality of filming with Corey and of the relationship that existed while making this film. That time was challenging but also often positive.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIf you have not seen the film, I can almost guarantee it is not what you are expecting. Even now, even with all the noise, I find him endlessly fascinating. I still have genuine care for him. Even if, for the moment, he seems to have forgotten that we decided together that I would make this documentary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the documentary, Corey said: &#8220;But you know, when you have got somebody that\u2019s trying to come onto you sexually, and you don\u2019t want that, and you are a kid, and you are scared.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cYou do whatever you can to stop it from happening, and that\u2019s what was happening. I was being molested by Corey Haim. Truth be told.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, Feldman later claimed the documentary misrepresented his comments and said via his legal team that any claim Haim \u2018molested\u2019 him was \u201cin reference to Mr. Haim\u2019s advances, and not physical molestation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/corey-feldman-doc-director-hits-back-1435294.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>31 December 2025 The director of Corey Feldman vs The World has refuted Corey\u2019s claims the documentary was made without his knowledge.
