Mystery on the Hollywood Backlot

So as a preventative measure, here?s my fantasy pick for best picture of 2011: a fantastically entertaining and original movie with a different perspective on the film industry, a movie that presents cinema not as the dream factory of Hugo or The Artist, but, as one of the film?s characters aptly describes it, as ?a river of money.? Unfortunately, you can?t see this film in theaters; it wasn?t just snubbed by the academy, or critics, or audiences, but by the studios themselves. It?s a movie that doesn?t exist, because no one made it?though they nearly did. In 2007, Michael Mann and John Logan?yes, the same John Logan who resurrected Georges M?li?s in Hugo?collaborated on a screenplay that could have been not only the best thing either of them ever did, but the great film noir, the great Los Angeles movie and the great film about Hollywood itself. And they never shot a frame of it.
