Watch How to Lose Friends & Alienate People Online

It will be directed by Robert B. Weide and star Simon Pegg as Sidney Young, Megan Fox as Sophie Maes, Kirsten Dunst as Alison Olsen, Jeff Bridges as Clayton Harding, and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Johnson. How to Lose Friends And Alienate People is currently in post-production with a release date in both the United States and United Kingdom on October 3, 2008. British writer Sidney Young (Simon Pegg), who despises the world of celebrity, leads efforts on an alternative magazine, Post Modern Review, that mocks the media attention paid to these stars. When Young is offered a job by Clayton Harding (Jeff Bridges) at conservative New York based Sharps magazine, he begins his ascent to success. Starting as an outsider, he makes a gradual movement from his former world, soon becoming the confidante of starlet Sophie Maes (Megan Fox) and beginning a relationship with colleague Alison Olsen (Kirsten Dunst). Eleanor Johnson (Gillian Anderson) is the power-hungry publicist pulling all the strings. The events unfolding in Young's life now will either break him or make him. |||| Frequent Curb Your Enthusiasm director Robert B. Weide makes his feature directorial debut with this screen adaptation of British writer Toby Young's comedic novel of the same name. When self-promoting scribe Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) accepts a position as a contributing editor for iconic fashion magazine "Sharps," his subsequent attempts to ingratiate himself with both his egotistical boss, Clayton Harding, and the superficial celebrities who populate the pages of the magazine prove disastrously hilarious.
