‘What Just Happened?’ – 2 Clips – Cannes 2008

Fiona August 29, 2011 Add a Comment
“What Just Happened?”, Barry Levinson's tale of an embattled Hollywood producer, will be the Cannes Film Festival‘s closing night attraction. Robert De Niro The movie, written by Art Linson and based on his memoir about his experiences as a producer, stars Robert De Niro as Ben, whose professional and personal life comes undone during one turbulent week. In What Just Happened?, De Niro plays a quality producer in crisis mode, handling temperamental co-workers (including Bruce Willis as himself) and demanding higher-ups (including Catherine Keener as a studio boss) while struggling to make sense of his personal life. Robin Wright Penn plays his most recent ex-wife, Sean Penn plays the star of a movie-within-the-movie. The idea that the movie is too “inside” amuses Levinson. The film generated strong buzz coming in to January's Sundance Film Festival but the movie received a mixed critical response and failed to catch fire with distributors, and its rights remain available. “What I've heard is that some studio people view it as a personal attack: You can make fun of writers, directors, actors, but not them.” Levinson said.
