NEW SUIT

A Lie Tailor-Made for Hollywood

In the tradition of The Player and Swimming with Sharks, comes this biting comedy about Hollywood sycophants and schemers that fuel its increasingly vacuous ideas. Kevin Taylor is a young screenwriter with a dream, but his unfortunate reality is fetching coffee (and hookers) for a washed-up producer and listening to his blowhard colleagues’ mouth off about scripts they’ve never read. One day he jokingly mentions a “hot” script that doesn’t exist; his colleagues, unwilling to admit ignorance, pretend they know all about it. Soon half of Hollywood wants the script, while the other half pretends they’ve already gotten, read, loved, optioned and financed it. Deftly satirizing Hollywood’s inane ability to embrace only the most (literally) hollow ideas, New Suit stylistically exposes the truth: It’s not the package but the packaging that counts.
