2018 drama {{Biopic}} based on the final days of [[Series/FantasyIsland Herve Villechaize]], starring Creator/PeterDinklage as Villechaize and Creator/JamieDornan.

1993. Danny Tate is a recovering alcoholic and journalist. While other people at the paper are interviewing big names and ex-presidents, Danny's latest assignment is a back page fluff piece on washed up TV star [[Series/FantasyIsland Herve Villechaize]].

Flying out to L.A. for the interview, Danny asks the typical questions of the spiraling ex-TV star. But soon Herve invites Danny out with him so he can get the real questions and real answers.

What follows is a night of chaos, drink and past regrets as Herve deals with the wreck his life has become, and Danny deals with issues of his own.
