S1m0ne

'S1mOne', IMDb describes it as a comedy, drama, romance. They forgot it is a thriller for most of the part.

The story goes on like this..

.. an actress walks out on our director (Al Pacino). No other actress is willing to work with him. This is the last chance he has with his production company. Facing this ultimatum.. he meets a mad man who lost his eye creating a computer program that can bring characters to life on screen. Left with no choice, our director creates a virtual actress Simone, promising that he will erase her once the movie is done. To his surprise she seems indistinguishable from real characters in the movie. The movie breaks records and Simone becomes international sensation. What follows will leave you at the edge of your seat.

The fight between our director and Simone ensues.. it becomes difficult for our director to kill of Simone as she is the most popular person in the world. Now Simone has to appear on TV shows, international concerts, and just about everything else.. it is a comedy to see how our director struggles to make this all possible.

This is a great movie and I was so excited to see the ending... it didn't disappoint and was brilliant..

The writer and director of this movie is Andrew Niccol a genius who has also made Gattaca (1997), The Truman Show (1998), The Terminal (2004), and Lord of War (2005) all of them top notch.
