Hollywood Will Never Be the Same

Runtime

Synopsis

A Hollywood comedian and actor named Pauly Shore experiences a series of setbacks: he loses his house, finds no representation in the industry, returns to live with his mother, and takes a job parking cars at the Comedy Store. One night while staying in his mother's loft, a deceased famous comedian appears and urges Pauly to kill himself, claiming that doing so would secure his reputation as a comedic genius who died prematurely. Following this suggestion, Pauly stages his own death, which triggers intense media attention.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
