Review: Why Can’t I Be A Movie Star? is an action packed rendition of Trailervision’s most acclaimed trailers as well as a shocking story of movie star weirdness. Trailervision, a production company based on the idea that the trailer is usually better than the movie, features trailers for fictional movies that don’t exist. On-screen will be the best no holds barred, visually exciting, barrier-pushing, action-packed, Hollywood-bashing movie-trailers Trailervison has to offer.
In 1999, Trailervision sent a group of fake movie stars to the Hollywood-dominated opening gala of the Toronto International Film Festival accompanied by a group of fake paparazzi, who screamed the stars names when the they alighted from their rented limousine. Security freaked and immediately rushed them into the green room with real Hollywood stars Alec Baldwin, Dave Foley and Bob Hoskins where they “got drunk like showbiz kings” Why Can’t I Be A Movie Star also follows one of those fake actors as he enters the frightening odyssey of trying to live by the rules of celebrity.
