Described by one reviewer as “like getting stabbed in the head,” the $6 million film earned a grand total of $1,800 at the box office and closed after two weeks. Years later, it’s an international cult phenomenon, whose legions of fans attend screenings featuring costumes, audience rituals, merchandising, and thousands of plastic spoons.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Hailed by \u003ci\u003eThe Huffington Post \u003c\/i\u003eas “possibly the most important piece of literature ever printed,” \u003ci\u003eThe Disaster Artist\u003c\/i\u003e is the hilarious, behind-the-scenes story of a deliciously awful cinematic phenomenon as well as the story of an odd and inspiring Hollywood friendship. Actor Greg Sestero, Tommy’s costar and longtime best friend, recounts the film’s bizarre journey to infamy, unraveling mysteries for fans (like, who is Steven? And what’s with that hospital on Guerrero Street?)—as well as the most important question: how the hell did a movie this awful ever get made? But more than just a riotously funny story about cinematic hubris, “\u003ci\u003eThe Disaster Artist \u003c\/i\u003eis one of the most honest books about friendship I’ve read in years” (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Sestero, Greg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (TV and Film)","offer_id":36403888455847,"sku":"","price":11.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/products\/BNCImageAPI_859b87b9-5399-4bd0-9771-5f5b08371bdc.jpg?v=1600041891","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/the-disaster-artistbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
