Rob Ryder made that pledge to his wife, and he was determined to
stick to it. As technical consultant on blockbuster sports films,
he had seen up close how the film business works and what kind of
chaos can, and usually does, ensue. And now he was ready to take it
on!
"Hollywood Jock" is the suspenseful, dramatic, outrageous, and
honest true story of the year when Rob Ryder, screenwriter, laid it
all on the line -- and kicked, scratched, wheeled, dealed, and
fought like hell to hit the Tinseltown big time. It is a chronicle
of schmoozing producers, shopping screenplays, corralling sports
legends, and dodging irate actors -- a fascinating perspective on
the highs, the very lows, and the behind-the-scenes madness that
makes the world of Hollywood so endlessly compelling . . . and
infamously brutal.
