Moviefone has just debuted the trailer for What Just Happened? starring a whole shit load of people, but primarily Robert De Niro, Catherine Keener and Bruce Willis. This film has done terribly at just about every film festival it has been to and after watching the trailer I am getting the idea it isn’t because it is necessarily a bad film as much as it looks like a film no one would be interested in seeing.
The film is based on Art Linson’s memoir about his experiences as a Hollywood producer and De Niro plays a Linson-like producer who is going through two weeks of hell as he tries to get a picture made. Bruce Willis plays a fat-beared version of himself and it is apparently supposed to be funny… I think…
It is set to hit theaters on October 3 as Magnolia has shown the balls to release it, but I can’t imagine this being #1 on anyone’s radar. Especially considering director Barry Levinson’s career ended back in 1997 with Wag the Dog (and that is being generous). You can also watch the trailer in QuickTime HD right here.
