This Movie Producer Shared The Worst Pitch He Ever Got—At His Mom's Funeral
By Aimee LutkinBeing famous and powerful in film and TV production ain't all it's cracked up to be. You might known Brian Koppelman for his work on Billions, but his family knows him as Brian Who Works In Hollywood. Koppelman probably gets pitched every fifteen minutes when he's at a family reunion, and also when he's at Starbucks, or walking the dog, or basically anywhere a person with a bold idea and no boundaries can approach him. But some of these encounters are much worse than others, as he shared on Twitter recently.
I'm in a doctor's waiting room (nothing bad, routine check up), so I will tell you a true story about a man who would stop at nothing to pitch me his movie idea. (If I get called to appointment, I will have to stop, but will finish later.) Ready? No. You're not. I promise.

When Koppelman says we're not ready to read this tale, he's not lying. It's a doozy.
