- Guess who's squeezing into advance screenings of Robert
- Altman's The Player, a take-no-prisoners satire of just about
- everyone in Hollywood? Just about everyone in Hollywood. "They
- get to play their favorite game -- talking about themselves,"
- concludes a bemused Altman. "If they see something negative,
- they assume that that's the other guy" -- which may also explain
- why Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and dozens of Glitzville's
- greatest gladly assented to cameo appearances. Due for release
- in April, the film chronicles the murder of a screenwriter at
- the hands of studio exec Tim Robbins. "Hollywood is the arena,"
- says Altman, "but it's really a reflection of what our whole
- culture is coming to." Which is? "GREED!"
