Lo how the mighty have fallen. At one time Paul Schrader, Brett Easton Ellis and Lindsay Lohan were either at the top on at least on the up escalator.

Now??? Well, things have changed somewhat.

As was mentioned in the comments, this is like a real life "Bowfinger" only sleazier, nastier and cheaper.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
