The Deal (2008 Steven Schachter & co-scr)

William H Macy helped adapt Peter Lefcourt's novel. We very much enjoyed his Hollywood wheeler-dealer, who manages to get a black Jewish action movie about Disraeli (!) into production whilst beguiling exec Meg Ryan (who's in her weird hair and lips period cf. Kate and Leopold (2001)).

We have it on good authority that Hollywood actually is this crazy.

With LL Cool J, Elliott Gould, John's son Jason Ritter, Fiona Glascott, Sharon Raginiano (director), Natasha Nova.
