Written and directed by Craig Lucas

The Dying Gaul joins a long list of dark, incisive movies about screenwriters in Hollywood and is a fierce psychological thriller based on Lucas' play of the same name. With a brilliant cast, it explores the dangerous dynamics that can come into play in a world where ideals are sacrificed in the name of commerce and where the lure of sex, power, money, and glamour are almost irresistible. Peter Sarsgaard plays Robert, a grieving homosexual playwright; Campbell Scott plays Jeffrey, a successful studio executive; Patricia Clarkson plays a former screenwriter and Jeffrey's wife. Sexually explicit content. Produced by David Newman, Campbell Scott, George Van Buskirk and Lisa Zimble. Executive Producers: Joseph Caruso III, Shawn Fitzgerald, David Newman, Paul Cohen, Paul Manafort, Jerome Swartz, Muvi Films, Inc. Co-producer: Kimberly Reiss. Cinematographer: Bobby Bukowski.
