Q: Build a movie plot around this: The publishers struck how much of a deal for the book? $500,000
A: In 1971, publishing executives at McGraw-Hill express an interest in Clifford Irving's novel, Rudnick's Problem. Fake!, his previous book about art forger Elmyr de Hory, had sold poorly. Irving believes he has a breakout work, but the publisher decides against releasing the book after a Life editor deems it unsatisfactory.Vacationing with his friend and researcher Richard Suskind, Irving is ejected from his hotel at 1 a.m, after eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes arrives and demands the entire building be vacated. Returning to New York City to meet with his publishers, Irving finds he has been reduced to meeting with an assistant. Irving storms into the board room, says his new project will be the "book of the century", and threatens to take it elsewhere. He struggles to come up with a topic fit for his grandiose claim. Seeing a cover story on Hughes, he decides to make him the subject.Irving tells McGraw-Hill that Hughes has recruited him to help write his autobiography, and shows forged handwritten notes from Hughes as proof. Handwriting experts confirm the notes as genuine, and the publishers strike a $500,000 deal for the book. Irving believes that the reclusive Hughes is unlikely to sue him, and that his eccentricities can be used to deflect any denials of authenticity for the book.At the time Irving is having marital problems with his artist wife Edith; he has had an affair. Irving assures Edith he'll be faithful as he leaves to begin research with Suskind. To fool experts, the two men devote days to studying documents pertaining to Hughes. They illicitly obtain a copy of a draft biography of Noah Dietrich, a retired Hughes aide, which provides details that add to the apparent authenticity of their work. Irving recites passages into a tape recorder while in character as Hughes, dressing like the millionaire and adding a mustache during these sessions.As work on the book progresses, Irving receives a box containing scandalous material about questionable dealings between Hughes and President Richard...

Question: Build a movie plot around this: For Empire how long did Andy Warhol shot? Eight hours and five minutes
Answer: In a very strange experiment by Andy Warhol, Empire is literally one continuous shot of New York's Empire State Building for eight hours and five minutes. Watching the same shot (which Warhol filmed on July 25 and 26, 1964 from the 42nd floor of the Time Life Building) the film is a test for the audience who sees how long they can sit and watch the same image for a long period of time. The only rewards for patience come from the occasional flicker of the lights on the building or Warhol's reflection in the glass as he changes the reel on the camera.
