The Hollywood Sign is a 2001 comedy/suspense drama film directed by Sönke Wortmann and written by Leon de Winter.

It stars Tom Berenger, Rod Steiger and Burt Reynolds as three washed-up actors risking their lives to make a comeback, as well as Jacqueline Kim.

[2] The screenplay is based on the book 'De hemel van Hollywood' by Leon de Winter.

There they find the body of a man – leading them to uncover an in-progress scam for stealing millions from a Las Vegas casino – which originated as a movie plot written by one of the actors' ex-girlfriends – who could not get her script produced.

Desperate to make a comeback, the three risk their lives for production capital ... by writing themselves into the "script."
