The Hollywood Sign is a 2001 comedy/suspense drama film directed by Sönke Wortmann and written by Leon de Winter. It stars Tom Berenger, Rod Steiger and Burt Reynolds as three washed-up actors risking their lives to make a comeback, as well as Jacqueline Kim.
The screenplay is based on the book 'De hemel van Hollywood' by Leon de Winter.
When three formerly top-tier, now has-been actors meet at the funeral of a legendary Hollywood agent, their alcoholic reunion leads them to visit the Hollywood Sign. There they find the body of a man â leading them to uncover an in-progress scam for stealing millions from a Las Vegas casino â which originated as a movie plot written by one of the actors' ex-girlfriends â who could not get her script produced. Desperate to make a comeback, the three risk their lives for production capital ... by writing themselves into the "script."
