What Just Happened*         

(US 2008)                   

A high-profile Hollywood producer tries to cope with the pressures of changing a bad ending to a film, in addition to other potential disasters.
The ever vacuous subject of Hollywood making films about itself, done in rather more sober realistic fashion than most, with few sympathetic characters, but just about holds the attention despite the best sabotage efforts by Bruce Willis in a self-parodic cameo.

Written by: Art Linson, based on his book.

Producers: Barry Levison, Jane Rosenthal, Art Linson, Robert De Niro.
Director: Barry Levinson.
Starring: Robert De Niro, Robin Wright Penn, Catherine Keener, John Turturro, Stanley Tucci, Michael Wincott, Kristen Stewart, Bruce Willis, Sean Penn.
Photography: Stephane Fontaine.
Music: Marcelo Zarvos.


+ the disagreement with Bruce Willis over his beard is based on a real-life confrontation between Art Linson and Alec Baldwin during the making of The Edge
