In February 2014, Seth Rogen's production company Point Grey Pictures announced it had acquired the book and film rights to The Disaster Artist. James Franco was set to direct and play Wiseau, and his brother Dave Franco was cast as Sestero. James Franco stated The Disaster Artist was "a combination of Boogie Nights and The Master". According to Franco, Wiseau initially had hoped Johnny Depp would play him. In April 2016, the title was reported to have changed from The Disaster Artist to The Masterpiece, though The Disaster Artist was confirmed as the official title when the film's SXSW premiere was announced.

Tommy Wiseau
Tommy Wiseau is a mysterious figure with an unclear background. He financed, wrote, directed, and starred in "The Room." Despite the film's initial failure, it gained a cult following due to its unintentional humor, bizarre storytelling, and Wiseau's unique performance.Greg Sestero
Greg Sestero was an aspiring actor who met Wiseau in an acting class in San Francisco. The two formed an unlikely friendship, and Sestero was eventually cast in "The Room" as Mark, one of the lead characters. Sestero's experiences during the making of the film were later chronicled in his memoir, "The Disaster Artist," co-written with Tom Bissell.Accuracy of the Film

If the ending were not a fabrication, smoothing of corners and fan service, it would be completely good. 8.5
I’m not a fan of «The Room» (I’ve only seen some excerpts), so Franco wasn’t that into the film either. Funny, high quality, but without enthusiasm. And to the main questions «Where does the money come from?» how old are you?» The creators never responded!
A great biopic. The fact that all the events of the film are based on real events is amazing! This is a truly great story about The Room phenomenon.
Very cool! I looked at the original film completely differently. I love watching films about films, it has a special charm. To get maximum viewing pleasure, I advise you to read the original source, no matter how boring it may be at first glance. But it’s a classic (already)
Well, who else would have thought of filming utter mediocrity and stupidity? And even so that it turns out to be better than the original itself? James Franco – you are the most original actor and director in Hollywood. «N» – «Non-standard» is his name!
Franco has been churning out trash for so many years that she didn’t even expect anything worthwhile from it. But the image of the same unfortunate creator fit perfectly. I didn’t want to see The Room, but it was interesting to watch.
The absurd story of making the worst movie in the world turns out to be surprisingly tactful and kind to Tommy Wiseau.
I expected to see harsh banter about Tommy Wiseau and his film , but in the end I watched a completely soulful dramedy. But this doesn’t mean that they didn’t have fun with Tommy – the humor is fine here too. I recommend watching with subtitles to appreciate Franco’s performance and enjoy the film to the fullest.
