Producer Linson gives readers a brutally honest, funny, and comprehensive tour through the horrors of Hollywood, from script to screen.
As a Hollywood film producer, Art Linson has had a hand in producing some of the most unforgettable films of the last half century--Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Untouchables, Fight Club--and has worked with some of America's finest actors and directors. Dubbed by the Los Angeles Times "a breezy anatomy of ritual humiliation," Art Linson's Hollywood memoir What Just Happened? gives us a brutally honest, funny, and comprehensive tour through the horrors of Hollywood. To be released in 2008 as a feature film starring Robert De Niro and featuring appearances from Bruce Willis, Sean Penn, and John Turturro, among others, Grove Press's reissue of Linson's hysterical memoir will include a new foreword, the film's script, and several black-and-white shots from the film.
