Overnight (2003)

This documentary shows how the cult film The Boondock Saints (1999) went from being a highly demanded script in Hollywood to being released in only handful of theatres. Troy Duffy is a bar tender who sells his first script for a huge deal and then goes massively off the rails.

It is really rare that you get to see someone implode like this and have it documented on film for you simply because people realise something makes them look bad and it never sees the light of day however I doubt Duffy's ego would ever allow him to think he comes off as looking bad. A small amount of success inflates Duffy's ego out of all proportions and he decides to bite the hand that feeds him, unsurprisingly when you go to war with a Hollywood big shot like Harvey Weinstein there are no prizes for guessing who comes off second best. This is a fascinating insight into a one man train wreck.
