Plot

The plot follows an idealistic writer (David Duchovny) as he tries to navigate his TV pilot down the mine-laden path from script to production to the madness of prime-time scheduling — all while trying to stay true to his vision. Along the way he has to juggle the agendas of a headstrong network president (Sigourney Weaver), volatile young stars, a pregnant wife (Justine Bateman) and an ever-optimistic personal manager (Judy Greer).

Production and vision

The film's writer/director Jake Kasdan had originally intended Ben Stiller for the role of Lenny, however Kasdan cast Weaver for the role, which changed his idea of what the character should be.^[1] Kasdan does not regard the film as satire, as he sees nothing exaggerated in its depiction of bringing a pilot to production.^[1]

Releases

The film was first screened on the Tribeca Film Festival on the 28 of April 2006. Following almost a year of festival screenings, it was released in cinemas on the 6 of April 2007. A DVD edition was released through 20th Century Fox on the 25 of September 2007. It features commentary tracks, a "making of" featurette and a deleted scene.^[2]
