The Player

The Player is the 1992 Hollywood satire film by legendary filmmaker Robert Altman (Gosford Park, Cookie's Fortune). The film darkly pokes fun at the ridiculousness of the movie making business by unfolding the story of a studio executive, Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins). Mill starts receiving death threats from a disgruntled writer because he has committed the ultimate no-no in Hollywood ' he promised a writer he would call him back, but never did. This is particularly funny because most of Mill's job is listening to ridiculous film pitches by writers like Alan Rudolph and Buck Henry. Now the trouble is trying to figure out which writer he could have rejected that is now coming after his life. The story all ends in murder and the unraveling of a career set amongst the busy, high-stress backdrop of the studio system. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards and boast an all-star cast including Whoopi Goldberg, Greta Scacchi, Fred Ward, Vincent D'Onofrio, Dean Stockwell, Lyle Lovett, and Sydney Pollack MORE [EDIT]
