Five Star Films
Simone (2002) Directed by Andrew Niccol Rated PG-13
Desperate film producer Al Pacino has a movie to make but no star. His ex-wife, studio chief Catherine Keener, is less than sympathetic. Then, somewhere out of the shadows, a dying genius appears with a CD containing a secret computer program. He begs the filmmaker to take it. What’s on the disc is nothing less than manna from heaven. Her name is Simone.
