In "The MURDER of James Dean," Michael, a down-and-out, over-the-hill screenwriter struggles to regain his footing and the life he knew in Hollywood. It's the struggle everyone fears. At the same time, Raymond, a young wannabe film producer struggles to finally open a door of opportunity and a career in Hollywood. It's the struggle everyone goes through. Michael and Raymond are from different backgrounds, different ages, different cultures. Both strive to make their own future, using the other as a stepping stone to their goals. That's the game everyone plays in Hollywood. A wild conspiracy theory about the death of James Dean brings these two together. There are lots of conspiracy theories in the world, and both recognize this one as a great story that could be made into a great movie. They have a unique connection to an elderly lawyer who was in Dean's circle of friends long ago and claims to have proof of the conspiracy. He wants to finally spill the beans, and will tell only Michael and Raymond. But, it doesn't go well. As they struggle to make it work, then watch the opportunity slip away out of their control, they battle each other. Anger, frustration, and fear boil to the surface as their Hollywood game unravels. In the end, they finally recognize the human relationship that's more important than the Hollywood games. Written by Barnard, Michael R. See less
