Peter Weir Director

previously directed Fearless

Truman Burbank is the unwitting star of the Truman Show, a massive reality show that has surrounded him with thousands of actors and has guided his entire life according to obsessive director Christof.

Trivia:

The part where Truman draws on the bathroom mirror with soap and pretends to be in space was improvised by Jim Carey. In another take he drew long curly hair and a dress.

Somebody help me, I'm being spontaneous!
