Movie Rogue: 'I haven't read a funnier book all year' The Wall Street Journal

Drawing on the author’s experience as a tabloid reporter and extra, the novel captures the bizarre and funny moments that unfold on set. ''I haven''t read a funnier book all year'' The Wall Street Journal

The world’s hottest movie couple, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, are enduring a year-long film shoot with the world’s most pernickety film director, Stanley Kubrick. Unfortunately the super-secret film set of Eyes Wide Shut has been invaded by Kubrick’s worst nightmare: Kim the tabloid reporter, complete with his trusty spy-pen camera.

Based on a true story, Movie Rogue details how in 1996 a Sun reporter became an extra on one of the most searingly graphic scenes in movie history. Along the way – it’s said – he also befriended both Tom Cruise and Kubrick. But this reporter is so much more than a mere scum-sucking tabloid hack. He is also a matchmaker, and with a wave of Kim’s pixie dust, even the most far-fetched couples can fall in love.
