Synopsis

What does a producer do when the star of his film walks out?

Well this one, thinking fast on his feet and desperate to save his career, which is on the line, digitally creates an actress called 'Simone' - completely fabricated but wholly believable. Simone 'stands in' for the absent star and becomes an overnight sensation, with a major singing career as well.

Trouble is everyone thinks Simone's a real person and as she becomes a celebrity her creator cannot bear to admit his fraud to himself or the world.

SIMONE is written, produced and directed by Andrew Niccol, and the character of Simone is played by model-turned-actress Rachel Roberts.
