About this listen

Now a major motion picture, The Disaster Artist, starring James Franco, Alison Brie, Zoey Deutch, Lizzy Caplan, Zac Efron, Bryan Cranston, Dave Franco, Kristen Bell, Seth Rogen, Sharon Stone, and Judd Apatow.

In 2003, an independent film called The Room - starring and written, produced, and directed by a mysteriously wealthy social misfit named Tommy Wiseau - made its disastrous debut in Los Angeles.

Described by one reviewer as 'like getting stabbed in the head', the $6 million film earned a grand total of $1,800 at the box office and closed after two weeks. Over a decade later, The Room is an international cult phenomenon whose legions of fans attend screenings featuring costumes, audience rituals, merchandising, and thousands of plastic spoons.

In The Disaster Artist, Greg Sestero, Tommy's costar, recounts the film's bizarre journey to infamy, explaining how the movie's many nonsensical scenes and bits of dialogue came to be and unravelling the mystery of Tommy Wiseau himself. But more than just a riotously funny story about cinematic hubris, The Disaster Artist is an honest and warm testament to friendship.

Editorial reviews

Chances are you’re familiar with 2003’s The Room, a film that’s been dubbed the worst movie ever made — and a bona fide cult phenomenon. Originally pitched as a serious drama about a love triangle, this warped brainchild written, produced by and starring the enigma Tommy Wiseau, instead became known for its plot inconsistencies and terrible acting.

The Disaster Artist, written and narrated by none other than Greg Sestero, who portrayed Mark in the film, takes a fast-paced and hilarious behind-the-scenes look into the film's bizarre journey to infamy. While it’s hard not to laugh out loud at this recounting of this unique roller coaster journey, this listen is above all an honest and warm testament to friendship. Whether you’re a fan of The Room or the star-studded 2017 adaptation of The Disaster Artist, this is one audiobook you won’t want to pause.

Definitely one of the most enjoyable audiobooks I have ever listened too, and that's without seeing 'The Room' first.
Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell did a superb job of crafting this material which is cleverly and expertly read by Greg.
As someone has already stated in a previous review Greg's take on Tommy's voice is worth the ticket alone, (well for me at least).
This serves as a reminder that while Tommy Wiseau may not be the worlds best actor there is no denying he is a curiously fascinating and compellingly magnetic person and this is what truly underscores The Rooms unheralded success.
With Tommy Wisau starring, producing and directing what could go wrong, right?
The book left me wanting more and I do hope there is more coming as Greg has stumbled across a potential goldmine here, not only with this material, but also as a voice actor.
