Tommy Wiseau, at this point, has perhaps become a very interesting figure on the Hollywood scene. Viewed as both one of the worst and yet most entertaining actors to emerge in the 21st century, he is most famous for starring, writing, and directing The Room.

The movie came out in 2003, after going through multiple crews and various changes with actors as well, the movie came out to utterly negative reviews. Critics were not able to find one single good element about the production. But shortly over time, for one reason or another, it managed to gain a cult following. It was soon coined by Ross Morin, as "The Citizen Kane of bad movies." To put this in a better context, Citizen Kane is regarded as one of the best movies ever made. In order to get that title is something that is truly significant.

The film continued to grow in popularity over time, as more and more attention was gathered screenings began to occur throughout the country. Its screenings were interactive to say the very least, for example whenever a picture of a spoon appeared on screen audience members would throw spoons at the screen shouting "Spoons!" out loud.

Where does all of this lead? In a months time from the writing of this article, the film The Disaster Artist will be released, a film starring James Franco as none other than Tommy Wiseau. The film is going to focus on the making of The Room. Based on the book of the same name, by Greg Sestro who co-starred with Tommy Wiseau in The Room.

All this ultimately builds to the big question. Is he, in reality, a misunderstood genius who created one of the most entertaining bad movies of the 21st century? Or has it been nothing but pure luck? He certainly is an interesting character if one has watched him in an interview it certainly is entertaining as it is strange. Yet in a humbling sort of way, it's inspiring to see a man stand by his work despite no doubt the harsh criticism he has endured since releasing his film so long ago. Over the past few years, the film has gathered a lot of attention to the point where The Disaster Artist is even possible. Because of this is gathering worldwide attention, and no doubt is going to get even more as time goes forward.
