Stranger than Fiction
(USA, 2006, 111 minutes)
A Chicago tax inspector finds out he is a character in a blocked writer’s next novel — and that she’s planning to kill him off. Delightfully inventive comedy that doesn’t take its surrealist premise all the way but still provides unusually thought-provoking entertainment.
Columbia Pictures and Mandate Pictures presents a Three Strange Angels production. Starring Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah, Emma Thompson, Tony Hale, Tom Hulce, Linda Hunt. Directed by Marc Forster; produced by Lindsay Doran; written by Zach Helm; music by Britt Daniel and Brian Reitzell; director of photography (DeLuxe prints), Roberto Schaefer; production designer, Kevin Thompson; costume designer, Frank Fleming; film editor, Matt Chesse; visual effects supervisor, Kevin Tod Haug.
