Big Twist

Instead of accepting his statue and celebrating his massive contract bonus and a multi-picture contract extension, he decides to kill himself... on the internationally televisied broadcast. When that and another more private attempt to take his life fails he realizes he has no other choice but to get a life.

Brewer’s decision to live means collecting his $100 million bonus which requires him to start the studio's next big picture, which, to his dismay, is based on a best-selling series of teenage vampire books. In what looks like a vainglorous homecoming, he picks in his old hometown in Texas as the shooting location. It's here he crosses paths with a former lover, Mary, who happens to run the county's biggest tourist attraction, The Kevin Brewer Cinema Museum.

As he tries to find his way back to life he must outsmart his scheming Agent, mentor a new protégé - an ex-paparazzi photogragher, and avoid a horde of angry Goth Kids convinced he's going to ruin the movie of their beloved and sacred text.
