"Forget everything you've heard about Hollywood. What Just Happened? is the real deal. Twisted, sardonic, spliced with never-before-seen images of the movie world's top players colliding in a gruesome ego pileup, this is Art Linson's true and uproarious tale of what it is to make movies. Whether he's trying to persuade an executive that Gwyneth Paltrow has enough chin to carry the lead in a movie, forcing an enraged Alec Baldwin to shave off his mountain-main beard, discussing ankle hair loss with Dustin Hoffman, or sitting through an excruciating reading of a David Mamet script as Robert DeNiro toys with the notion of heading up the cast, Linson gives us a brutally honest, funny, and comprehensive tour through the horrors of Hollywood, from script to screen."--BOOK JACKET.
