(Classic Rock) Robert Trujillo says he has spent "a huge chunk" of his own money on his upcoming Jaco Pastorius film. The Metallica bass player explained his reasons for launching a crowdfunding campaign to help pay for Jaco: The Film by saying he "didn't write Enter Sandman."

Trujillo tells LA Weekly: "When you are trying to do it right, it's costly. I've been a part of this film for five years. I've spent a huge chunk of money. It's great because I feel it needs to be done, but I have responsibilities, too.

"People don't understand. I didn't write Enter Sandman. It's a little different for me." Jaco: The Movie is scheduled for a late 2015 release. It includes interviews with the bass icon's contemporaries, friends and family members. Read more here.
