Bowfinger Movie
Photos of Bowfinger
Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) is a groovy guy! It doesn't matter that he is a mediocre and down-and-out movie producer. Hoping to gain fame, Bobby is extremely eager to make a real blockbuster which will earn millions in box office receipts and take him to the Oscars. What does he need to make his dream come true? Firstly, he needs a perfect movie script. Bobby finds a sci-fi story about ominous alien creatures invading the Earth in raindrops and attacking people. Secondly, he needs to hire action superstar Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy). He expects a legion of Ramsey's ardent fans to rush to movie theaters waving their well-stuffed wallets so as to see their idol in Bowfinger's movie. Afterwards Bobby will be able to do nothing but repose on his laurels and give autographs. There is just one snag: Ramsey, a neurotic actor, refuses to take the part in the scary movie. But the ingenious Bowfinger schemes to film Ramsey without his knowledge, creating situations true to the script...
