Short description
Big money artists and mega-collectors pay a high price when art collides with commerce. After a series of paintings by an unknown artist are discovered, a supernatural force enacts revenge on those who have allowed their greed to get in the way of art.
What's left behind the scenes
- Dan Gilroy wrote the characters of Morph and Rhodora specifically for Rene Russo and Jake Gyllenhaal.
- During the scriptwriting and filming process, Dan Gilroy constantly consulted with many representatives of the contemporary art world.
- A loose adaptation of the story of Henry Darger, a recluse who gained fame only posthumously, leaving behind a vast number of drawings.
- Vetril Dease (anagram of the words “Devil’s eater,” which can be translated as “devourer of the devil” or “devilish devourer”) is the name of a man who lived in the early 19th century. Director and screenwriter Dan Gilroy learned about him while reviewing old documents for the filming of one of his previous films.
- Even before filming began, director and screenwriter Dan Gilroy stated that it would be something similar to Robert Altman’s “The Player,” and he strove to emulate Altman in his work.
