Some four years ago, we began to see longform/in-depth articles about the “worst movie ever made,” The Room, so I suppose it was inevitable that we’d get the movie about the making of the movie, The Disaster Artist. Polling says that about half of the early audiences are familiar with the 2003 original, so it’s safe to say the strong cast is playing an equally important role in turning chicken shit into chicken salad.
