Andrew Niccol Talks Simone Philosophy

[Monday, August 19th, 2002]
Andrew Niccol first two films, "Gattaca" and "Truman Show" explore the line between what's true and not so true, as does his newest movie, "Simone", says Variety

The movie which stars Al Pacino as a struggling filmmaker who brings to life an all-too-human virtual actress.

"We live vicariously through celebrities. People used to say that celebrities are America's royalty; now I think celebrities are the world's royalty," Niccol told the Los Angeles Times in Sunday's editions.

"We're entering an interesting time where we don't know what's fake and what's real anymore. And for me, that's an interesting area to explore," he said.

"Simone" will be hitting theaters this week.
