Greg Sestero Presents The Disaster Artist

Overview

Oh hi Mark! Best known for his immortal role in Tommy Wiseau's cult classic The Room, actor Greg Sestero is headed to Australia. Part of a publicity tour to promote his tell-all book, The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside the Room, Sestero's visit will hopefully shed new light on what is undoubtedly one of the worst films ever made.

For the uninitiated, The Room is a low-rent romantic drama written, directed, produced by and starring the enigmatic Tommy Wiseau. Full of undercooked subplots and nonsensical dialogue, the movie made less than $2000 during its initial LA-only release but has since been resurrected by a devoted cult of fans. These days the film plays late-night engagements in theatres all around the world, loyal viewers bombarding the screen with a mix of abuse and plastic spoons.

Sestero (or 'Sestosterone', as he is affectionately known) will be in Melbourne on Friday, July 11, and Saturday, July 12, for a special event at Cinema Nova that includes an interactive script reading, an audience Q&A session and a behind-the-scenes documentary that explores the making of this unintentional comic gem. Whatever you do though, be sure to leave your stupid comments in your pocket.
