The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad

The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made (A Gift for Film Buffs)

New York Times bestsellerâ€”now a major motion picture directed by and starring James Franco!

From the actor who somehow lived through it all, a â€œsharply detailedâ€¦funny book about a cinematic comedy of errorsâ€ (The New York Times): the making of the cult film phenomenon The Room.

In 2003, an independent film called The Roomâ€”starring and written, produced, and directed by a mysteriously wealthy social misfit named Tommy Wiseauâ€”made its disastrous debut in Los Angeles. Described by one reviewer as â€œlike getting stabbed in the head,â€ the $6 million film earned a grand total of $1,800 at the box office and closed after two weeks. Years later, itâ€™s an international cult phenomenon, whose legions of fans attend screenings featuring costumes, audience rituals, merchandising, and thousands of plastic spoons.

Hailed by The Huffington Post as â€œpossibly the most important piece of literature ever printed,â€ The Disaster Artist is the hilarious, behind-the-scenes story of a deliciously awful cinematic phenomenon as well as the story of an odd and inspiring Hollywood friendship. Actor Greg Sestero, Tommyâ€™s costar and longtime best friend, recounts the filmâ€™s bizarre journey to infamy, unraveling mysteries for fans (like, who is Steven? And whatâ€™s with that hospital on Guerrero Street?)â€”as well as the most important question: how the hell did a movie this awful ever get made? But more than just a riotously funny story about cinematic hubris, â€œThe Disaster Artist is one of the most honest books about friendship Iâ€™ve read in yearsâ€ (Los Angeles Times).
