The Disaster Artist (film)

The Disaster Artist is a 2017 comedy-drama film about the making of the 2003 cult-classic film The Room—widely considered one of the worst movies ever made. It chronicles the unlikely friendship between aspiring actors Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero as they move to Los Angeles to chase their Hollywood dreams. Directed by James Franco. Written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. Tommy Wiseau Greg Sestero You are a fucking villain, you fucking Frankenstein-looking motherfucker! Sandy Schklair Dialogue [first lines] Kristen Bell: If you were to ask the five best filmmakers in the world right now to make a movie like this... it... it wouldn't even be in the same universe. Ike Barinholtz: I was blown away. Like, like three minutes in, I turn to my friend, "This is the fucking greatest movie I've ever seen in my life." [chuckles] Adam Scott: It has withstood, like, ten years? And people are still watching a movie and talking about a movie. People aren't doing that about whatever won the Oscar for Best Picture ten years ago. Kevin Smith: What genius is behind this? Keegan Michael Key: Tommy wanted to break... Tommy wanted to break barriers in filmmaking. Lizzy Caplan: I think that he had a very clear vision. Kevin Smith: He is a figure of mystery where, you know, you do wanna learn more about him. Danny McBride: Who is this man? Who is this auteur? Adam Scott: The kind of sheer ambition of it... is... is in-incredible. J.J. Abrams: The numbers probably prove how unlikely it is that you'll make it. Adam Scott: If I had a time machine, I wouldn't go do a bunch of stu... uh, stuff you... I would go back and try and get on that set just to watch and feel what it was like 'cause it has to be... unbelievable. [title is shown] [from trailer] Sandy: Ready... And... Action! [Wiseau opens the rooftop door and steps into the scene. He pauses for several seconds] Tommy: What line? What is the line? Sandy: I did not hit her. It's not true. It's bullshit. I did not hit her. I did not. Oh, hi Mark. Tommy: Okay.
