OBSESSION WITH GEORGE REEVES
AM I BEING INDISCRETE?
Based on the true story of Hollywood’s most notorious unsolved mystery,
Hollywoodland is a tale of glamour, scandal, and corruption in 1950s Los Angeles.
When George Reeves (Ben Affleck), star of TV’s Adventures of Superman, is found dead
in his home, millions of fans are shocked by the circumstances of his death.
The police and the studio bosses want the case closed as a suicide, but rumors linger.
Louis Simo (Adrien Brody), a private investigator, picks up the trail and begins to
piece together the actor’s last, tension-filled days. Who pulled the trigger?
Was it the seductive yet scheming fiancée, the spurned lover (Diane Lane), the
enraged husband (Bob Hoskins), or was it Reeves himself? Simo must find out before
the truth is buried forever.
