About this ebook

A bad-boy filmmaker is terrorized by real-life killers inspired by his movies “in this ruthlessly funny satire” of Hollywood violence (Entertainment Weekly).

Bruce Delamitri makes movies about killers. Hip, stylish movies. Post-modern masterpieces dripping with brutality, jump cuts, and ironic juxtaposition. His killers walk cool, talk cool, and look fabulous. Getting shot by one of them would be a fashion statement.

After his latest film sweeps the Oscars, Delamitri encounters a couple of his biggest fans: Wayne and Scout. Real killers. Appalling, demented maniacs who kill people they do not know.

Popcorn is Ben Elton's international bestselling debut novel: a taut and darkly funny novel that also poses a serious question: In a society addicted to murder, is there any such thing as a responsible person?
