The Deal Movie

The Deal is a comedy film about a suicidal producer and his doomed production. Directed by Steven Schachter, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008.

Schachter is an Emmy Award winning writer and director. His creative collaborator William H. Macy co-wrote the movies The Con, A Slight Case of Murder, and Door to Door with Schachter and Schacter directed the films with Macy as the star. Their creative partnership also continues with his latest film The Deal.

"Adapted from Peter Lefcourt's novel, been-there showbiz satire begins with a joke about a rabbi, a producer and a recently converted black action star who come together to make a Jewish-themed blockbuster, with madcap results. Unfortunately, the characters seem to be doing all the laughing, while the general public has nothing to cling to but the horndog flirtation between mismatched leads William H. Macy and Meg Ryan -- hardly ideal ingredients for mainstream success." -Variety
