The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made by Greg Sestero, Tom Bissell

4.0


"The Room" was released in 2003 and had a budget of 6 million dollars. The film was conceived, written, produced and starred Tommy Wiseau. It has been called one of the worst movies ever made. At this point it has achieved a cult following who attend screenings of the film and interact/participate with the movie much like you would see at a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The Disaster Artist gives a behind the scenes look at the making of the film by Wiseau's friend and co-star Greg Sestero. He's honest and open about Wiseau but also doesn't needlessly lambast him.

I really enjoyed this book in a train-wreck/reality show kind of way Wiseau is a bizarre human being who is apparently completely oblivious of how real life or Hollywood works.

I recommend this book to fans of pop culture and to those who are interested in behind the scenes looks at Hollywood film-making.
I won this book in a goodread giveaway.
