middle men movie story based on which companies?
 

is the movie really based on an actual company that existed or exists still today? if so which?

or is it just completely made up?

One of the first and best ones ;-)

great reply and no help
thanks

It's loosely based on the early days of Paycom.

I havent seent he movie yet and dont know what actual adult company they are mimicking, but Im pretty sure the main guy is based on Chris Malick(sp?) of Epassporte.

who cares.

ironic every time :winkwink:

It may be just me but I think that at least in the ads that Ribisi looks like he was modeled after R_n Levi - he has the same eyeglasses and beard, minus the gut (which I hear now is gone anyway) but that is Hollywood.

If he had the flames print shirt then I would know it for sure...

:winkwink:

Ban this sig spamming idiot

The reviews all suck and they havent advertised anywhere, I want to see it tho. Why didnt they advertise tho did they make it just for gfy lol :D

I've seen a ton of ads for it. TV, Web, write ups & movie trailers.

On TV in Thailand?? I dont see any in Philly area tv or newspapers, only newspaper reviews i saw were online from some big newspapers. Saw a few web ads but thats not enough i dont think.

On Cartoon network, Comedy central, ESPN. Before TV shows on the web, etc. Enough to notice it :)

Seen the ads also, although given the actors in it I would expect to get pounded with marketing month(s) before the release date.

Funny thing is that CCBill's Ron Cadwell has a cameo in this movie.

You sure? I watched it last week and didn't see him. Which scene was he in?

ron was a limo driver in the movie but his scene didnt make the final cut

:2 cents:

From wikipedia:

In 1995, straight-and-narrow businessman Jack Harris (Luke Wilson) who builds the first online billing company dealing exclusively with adult entertainment, finds himself in the middle of a whirlwind filled with starlets, con men, Russian mobsters, federal agents, and international terrorists. Caught between a porn star and the FBI, Harris learns that even becoming one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs of his generation may not be enough to keep him out of trouble. It is based on the experiences of producer Christopher Mallick.[3]

Too bad it wont make it here to PL at all, i'll probably have to fetch it off torrents (if it even makes it on there). Shame, i'd have paid to see it.
