What Just Happened takes a look at Hollywood the way Wag the Dog did Washington D.C.. Robert DeNiro plays a producer who experiences two weeks of sheer agony as he tries to get a movie made. Real stars will appear as themselves. The film is based on the memoirs of real life producer Art Linson. Barry Levinson directs from Linson’s script.
