The cultiest of cult hits, The Room is the brainchild of one Tommy Wiseau, who wrote, directed and financed the film as well as playing the lead role.
As The Guardian noted: “To make a movie that’s so bad it’s good you need vision, drive, luck and obsessive vanity. Fortuitously, The Room’s writer/producer/director/star Tommy Wiseau appears to possess all of these qualities, combined with a total lack of acting talent.”
Now a regular visitor to Bristol, co-star Greg Sestero wrote the memoir Disaster Artist, which was adapted for the screen by James Franco, bagging both a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. In this special Bristol Bad Film Club event, Greg celebrates the film’s 15th anniversary by talking about his experiences and screening exclusive behind-the scenes documentary footage.
