LUCKY STAR by John Silver

Character analysis focusing on the rise of upcoming young actor Vincent Carter Boswell as he endures the painful trials (public scrutiny, production gone wrong) and morally questionable obstacles of fitting in Hollywood (life of drugs, sex, and rock and roll) and living outside of the limelight (public events, news, and more).

Comparison Pitch: Forrest Gump meets Boogie Nights meets A Star is Born with some references
from Tropic Thunder.

MPAA: Rated PG-13 for thematic elements throughout, brief strong language and violent content, sexuality/nudity, and drug use.

NOTE: This would be a nearly 2 and a half hour to 3-hour movie where we see Vincent grow as a person and actor to the end where he makes the decision to either continue acting or return to normality.
