What happened to meg ryan

The Deal is a American satirical comedy film directed by Steven Schachter. The screenplay by Schachter and William H. Macy is based on the novel of the same title by Peter Lefcourt. Macy and Meg Ryan co-star. The film was shot in Cape Town and other South African locations. Struggling Hollywood film producer Charlie Berns is actively trying to commit suicide when his aspiring screenwriter nephew Lionel arrives from New Jersey interrupts him.

He gives him a script about 19th-century British statesman Benjamin Disraeli. After he sees an article about powerful action-star African American Bobby Mason, a recent convert to Judaism , is seeking a role, Charlie agrees to make the film. However, only after he converts the literate PBS -style script that he did not read into an action adventure Middle Eastern espionage film, Ben Disraeli: Freedom Fighter.

Charlie cuts ties with the agency he has been with to go freelance.

Then he creates hype by planting false rumors that get widely published, which successfully attracts Paragon Studios. After some creative wrangling with studio big-wigs and feisty project developer Deidre Hearn, whom he is instantly attracted to, he gets them to commit to making the film without seeing the script. As Bobby is cast in the title role, when Diedre sees the rewritten script is full of dialogue, she rejects it.

After promising to have a rewrite, Charlie boldly asks her about her sex life and relationship status, as he is interested and available. Diedre shoots him down, as she is engaged and is regularly satisfied. At Charlie and Diedre's meeting with Bobby's manager Mark, at which two potential writers come, the latest script is rejected.

Although the film is green-lighted, Charlie says these writers are also fired, happily declaring they should celebrate.
