‘What Just Happened’, released on November 28th sees Academy Award® winning director Barry Levinson reunited with Academy Award® winning actor Robert De Niro in a sharp and witty comedy based on the acclaimed, bestselling memoir by veteran Hollywood producer Art Linson.
The plot follows successful Hollywood movie producer Ben (De Niro) through a whirlwind of events as he attempts to put together the movie of his career. But in an attempt to balance the tug-of-war of his fading personal life and his slowly deteriorating business venture, Ben’s demanding and aggravatingly unreliable team ensure that everything that can go wrong, gets completely turned on its head.
Joining Robert De Niro is fellow Academy Award© winner Sean Penn (“Dead Man Walking”) and Oscar nominee Bruce Willis (“The Sixth Sense”), both staring as themselves. But the all-star cast doesn’t stop there: Catherine Keener is given the role of iron-gloved studio Chief ‘Lou’, Golden Globe nominee Robin Wright Penn (“Forest Gump”) plays ex-wife ‘Kelly’, and John Turturro stars as Willis’ timid agent ‘Dick Bell’.
