Hollywood Homicide

Two mismatched L.A. detectives—one moonlighting as a real‑estate broker, the other chasing an acting career—must put their side hustles aside and solve a high‑profile murder before Hollywood’s glitter turns deadly.

They're two cops with one shot at solving a murder... and surviving each other.

Synopsis

Joe Gavilan and his new partner, K. C. Calden, are detectives working in Tinseltown. Neither is particularly passionate about being a cop—Gavilan works part-time as a real estate broker, while Calden, an aspiring actor, teaches yoga in his spare time. When the pair are assigned a major case, they must decide whether to focus on solving it or pursue their personal ambitions.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

2003 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.7× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
