Simone

When a temperamental actress storms off the set of his unfinished film, desperate director Al Pacino turns for help to an engineer who's created a program for computer-generated actors that are unbelievably lifelike. New leading lady Simone (short for "Simulation One") becomes Hollywood's latest sensation, and Pacino has a hit on his hands... but how long can he keep his "star's" identity secret? This slick satire of manufactured celebrity also stars Catherine Keener, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and introducing Rachel Roberts as Simone. Written and directed by ex-pat Kiwi Andrew Niccol ("Gattaca", "The Truman Show").
