The Imagemaker is a 1986 American political thriller film directed by Hal Weiner and starring Michael Nouri, Anne Twomey, Jerry Orbach, Jessica Harper and Farley Granger.

He is set on using his experience to make a film about manipulation of the media by unscrupulous politicos.

[4] Nina Darnton from The New York Times said: "If this seems like somewhat bizarre behavior for the man who is supposed to save us from lies, politicians and media manipulation, be assured that it isn't the most confusing aspect of the film.

Also puzzling is why actors as fine as Jerry Orbach and Jessica Harper, who valiantly cope with the fact that their characters make cardboard figures look complex by comparison, ever became involved with this project.

Michael Nouri seems slightly uncomfortable as Roger Blackwell, but it is fair to say that on the whole the actors didn't seem quite as confused as the audience did".
