Development Hell
by Mick Garris
Hollywood, California: the Bermuda Triangle of art, sex, and commerce. The
beautiful people make their daily deals with the devil on the sun-dappled
patio at the Ivy, not in a fiery underground cavern. Nobodies become
somebodies in the blink of an eye, but the flash of heady success can be
fleeting. The rocket that shoots you into the atmosphere can be carrying
weapons of mass destruction that can send you just as quickly and
efficiently to Hell.
And back to Heaven again.
Development Hell is a wicked Hollywood satire, disguised as an extreme
erotic horror novel. It is told knowingly from an inside perspective,
tracking the career trajectory of a young film school hotshot into the
annals of the Big Studio.
This arrogant young director leads us through his own set of unique
experiences, starting with his explosive and disastrous first Hollywood
movie; his discovery of a mutant baby in the arms of a Mexican news dealer
in downtown Los Angeles that will be his ticket back to the top of the heap;
into the arms of a re-animated glamorous star who died in the 1930s; and
body-hopping through the most glamorous sheaths of human flesh on the
planet.
It is a side of Hollywood rarely seen from beneath its unvarnished,
Botox-free, crinkling, wrinkling flesh, and features a supporting cast of
characters you will surely recognize.
Development Hell welcomes you into a behind-the-scenes peek unlike any other
you have witnessed before.
