The trailer for Max’s They Called Him Mostly Harmless teases the disturbing true story of the hunt for a deceased hiker’s identity. Premiering on the streaming service on February 8, 2024, the bizarre tale was directed by Emmy winner Patricia E. Gillespie (The Fire That Took Her) and features individuals directly involved in figuring out the mystery man’s identity.
“I was drawn to this story because of its potential to help us think more deeply about what it means to live in the digital age,” explained director Gillespie. “I hope we’ve made a film that manages to both honor the citizen detectives who worked tirelessly to identify Mostly Harmless, while encouraging audiences to get involved in the issue of unidentified persons.”
Max offers this description of the documentary:
“When an unidentified hiker is found deceased in the Florida wilderness, authorities release a sketch. Multiple hikers call in claiming to have met the man.

Fitting in some last minute promotions for his just-released movie, Justin Timberlake turned up at the 2010 New Yorker Festival at DGA Theater in New York City on Friday evening (October 1).
There for a Q&A session regarding "The Social Network," the "Cry Me A River" singer answered media questions while joined by co-star Jesse Eisenberg and writer Nicholas Thompson.
Having good reason to be in cheerful moods, Justin and Jesse's Facebook based film topped the box office on Friday with a take of $8.5 million - which puts its weekend estimate at $26 million.

The kind of Cold War obsessive who can’t get enough details about Salt II is likely to wind up addicted to Nicholas Thompson’s dual biography The Hawk And The Dove: Paul Nitze, George Kennan, And The History Of The Cold War. But the book is a neat trick in general, viewing recent history through the lens of two men who arguably did as much to shape it as the big-name executive newsmakers. As the 20th century’s longest-lasting ideological battle recedes steadily into collective memory, and conservatives unleash accusations of “socialism” at the slightest opportunity, now’s as ...
