Whatever this is, it's something other than Billy Wilder's 1950's Noir classic. Since it has obviously been dragged into the 21st Century, why does Joe Gillis have a crew, body guards, and a camera person with a big camera + lighting rig? It seems to me that Gillis would have a cheap smart phone inside a light ring affixed to a selfie stick, and he'd be all by himself since he can't get anyone to hire him. This gives the impression that he's somewhat successful when - if this version is true to the source material - he can't even get arrested, much less hired to write a screenplay. Jamie Lloyd needs to create a completely updated version of a Sunset Boulevardesque TikTok Short, all done in episodes.
Ah, right... I was wondering how the outdoor blocking would account for rain
This will go very well once they're in New York. 😉
Can confirm!
Can confirm, it went very well and got a standing ovation during the show Saturday night.
It would have to be raining, wouldn't it.

Yeah the original is better than these hacks.
