Paparazzi is the brainchild of Mel Gibson, who has recently given the world of acting a back seat in his career and persued the role of producer. His latest effort, a 20th Century Fox Drama/Thriller, was the result of a conversation he had with some celeb friends about the intrusive nature of Paparazzi Photographers. Mel decided to take revenge the best way he knows how, by making a movie about it!

Paparazzi is the story of celebrity, Bo Laramie (played by Cole  Hauser) who is followed by a photographer everywhere he goes - when the Paparazzi starts showing up at his son's baseball games he approaches him in an effort to peacefully make him go away. Despite begging and pleading to be left alone, the Photographer persists, sending Bo into an angry cycle that ends in a tragic accident.

The Paparazzi uses the emotions of his target to snap valuable photos of Bo's descent into violent anger, publishing them wherever he can and effectively ruining Bo's career ... but the big question is, will his relentless pursuit of drama and controversy ruin his own life?

Walking through a metal detector ...
Jerry Fletcher: Why is this thing safe for me and not for my keys?

Jerry Fletcher: Love gives you wings. It makes you fly. I don't even call it love. I call it Geronimo. When you're in love, you'll jump right from the top of the Empire State and you won't care, screaming "Geronimo" the whole way down. I love her so bad, I just... whoa, she wrecks me. I'd die for her.

Alice Sutton: Where are you, Jerry?
Jerry Fletcher: I'm here.
Alice Sutton: Where's here, Jerry?
Jerry Fletcher: On the floor.

Jerry Fletcher: A good conspiracy is unprovable. I mean, if you can prove it, it means they screwed up somewhere along the line.

Jerry: It's on the tip of my brain.

Jerry: GET BACK you damn, dumb, complicit sons of bitches! You're looking for a man with NO NOSE! Not me, not me!

Jerry: You can't hurt me any more.
Dr. Jonas: I'll be the judge of that.

Jerry Fletcher: To be normal, to drink Coca-Cola and eat Kentucky Fried Chicken is to be in a conspiracy against yourself.

Jerry: I'm only paranoid because they want me dead.

Jerry: What do we know?! If I know what we know then I could tell you what we know and if anyone else knows!
