Script described as a cross between Boogie Nights and the Master


According to IMDb trivia....What do you make of that? Because I have no fcking clue what to make of that.


Howard Hughes was Italian?

That's how James Franco described the book, so maybe he feels that the script has followed the book very closely. That's a good thing because the book was fantastic.

Meaningless... like saying "the Room" is a cross between "American Beauty" and "In the Company of Men". "Boogie Nights" because it's about behind the scenes of making movies. "The Master" because it's about the relationship between two men, one of whom is domineering.

"the relationship between two men, one of whom is domineering"

And neither of whom are anything like Phoenix or Hoffman in that film.

Not at all in the least.

It's much more like Ed Wood.
