Tommy Wiseau wrote and directed The Room as a play in 2001 and adapted it into a film. The film is centered around a melodramatic love triangle between amiable banker Johnny and his deceptive fiancée Lisa. Lisa seduces Johnny's best friend, Mark, and the two begin a secret affair. Johnny becomes depressed and calls upon Mark and his psychologist, Peter, for advice. He has a nervous breakdown and commits suicide by shooting himself in the mouth. A spiritual successor starring Bob Odenkirk is set to be released at an unspecified date in 2023.
