Brian De Palma

Brian De Palma is a minor character in the novel "狩猎好莱坞" inspired by the celebrity persona of Brian De Palma.

Background
During the 1970s, he was listed among young directors who defined the decade such as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and George Lucas.

By the '80s, however, he had been somewhat forgotten due to his films failing at the box office, one after the other.

Volume 1 (1986)
His agent, Jonathan Friedman, decided to have him act as the director of Simon Westeros' film script The Butterfly Effect since the film's dark undertone complemented his personal style. While Jonathan Friedman was making some early preparations for the script, he also introduced Brian De Palma to Simon who left a deep impression on him due to his mature temperament despite his youth.
