The Big Take (2018)

In the glimmering world of Hollywood, Douglas Brown, a celebrated movie star, wakes up to the unnerving reality of being ensnared in a blackmailing web spun by an anonymous foe. In desperation, he reaches out to his slick agent, Jack Girardi, who in turn enlists the assistance of Frank Manascalpo, a seasoned private eye with a knack for untangling Hollywood's most complex scandals. Frank plunges into the investigation, navigating the convoluted labyrinth of Tinseltown with aplomb. His pursuit, however, leads him astray, placing him at the doorstep of Max O'Leary, an ambitious yet naive writer-director. Mistaking the unexpected attention as a sign from the gods of cinema, Max erroneously believes that the famed Douglas Brown has taken interest in his screenplay. The dazzling allure of Hollywood and a potential big break blindside Max, who remains oblivious to the fact that his script is far from being Douglas Brown's cup of tea. As the plot unfurls, Max is thrust into the limelight, but the price of fame comes at a chilling cost. To secure his place in the star-studded firmament of Hollywood, Max finds himself facing a grim reality - a deed as dark as murder.
