Synopsis

THE NINES consists of three short films, each featuring the same actors in different and sometimes overlapping roles.

THE PRISONER tells the story of a troubled television star (Ryan Reynolds) who finds himself under house arrest, with his publicist (Melissa McCarthy) and disillusioned neighbour (Hope Davis) providing his only links to the outside world. Mysterious events lead him to question whether one or both women are deceiving him about the nature of his incarceration.

REALITY TELEVISION is a half-hour episode of “Behind the Screen,” a Project Greenlight-style documentary series tracking the process of creating a network television drama. Having shot the pilot, creator/show runner Gavin Taylor (also Ryan Reynolds) faces post-production with the help of his best friend (and lead actress) Melissa McCarthy and development VP Susan Howard (Hope Davis).

KNOWING finds an acclaimed videogame designer (also Ryan Reynolds) and his wife (Melissa McCarthy) facing car trouble deep in the woods. Their daughter (Elle Fanning) uncovers information that leads to a difficult and irrevocable choice.

Together, the three stories form a single narrative that explores the relationships between author and character, actor and role, creator and creation. Alternately funny and unsettling, THE NINES is like a riddle where the answer is the question: “How does it all add up?”
