The Dying Gaul

The Dying Gaul, the movie, not the statue, has Robert (Peter Sarsgaard) a struggling young writer finally having a chance to sell his somewhat autobiographical script.  The complication is that the producer wants to replace the character of his dying male lover with a woman to make it more sellable.  Further complicating things is Jeffrey (Campbell Scott), the bi-sexual producer, starting an affair with Robert. Then of course, Jeffrey’s wife, a former screen writer, becomes fascinated with Robert and starts stalking him anonymously in online chat rooms, eventually finding out more than she really wanted to know.
