The recent decades in Hollywood have repeatedly proved that sometimes everything is about competent marketing — and some films may serve as the most striking examples of it.
Back in 2000, a dramedy with Michael Douglas in the leading role was critically acclaimed upon its release, but eventually ended up being a box office failure due to the misguided promotional steps. Despite that, the financial disaster didn’t besmirch the leading actors’ careers — quite the contrary, the movie witnessed their best performances.
Based on Michael Chabon’s 1995 novel of the same name, Wonder Boys follows professor Grady Tripp, portrayed by Michael Douglas, who teaches creative writing in an unnamed university somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Tripp happens to be an experienced writer, but probably not in its best meaning — the character had once created a novel that later on found an overwhelming success among the public and clearly promised the prospects of a flourishing career.
