What Just Happened (2008): 1 line

unmapped (dramatization) · through The Edge (1997), which they were tied to as turned down the role: The Edge ⇒ What Just Happened (the host's read). Barry Levinson's 2008 film, drawn from Art Linson's book, fictionalizes the making of The Edge, including the beard fight and De Niro.
“They made a movie based on Art Linson's book, and a lot of it is about making this stupid movie and a big part about him not shaving the beard”
