Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Michael Cera's 'Player X' is a composite of Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ben Affleck—Maguire allegedly once demanded Molly bark like a seal for a $1,000 chip.
Sorkin wrote this during his own cocaine addiction recovery; Molly's control obsession mirrors his compulsive writing process.
