	S1m0ne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The title, when spelt "s1m0ne", represents leet speak, and includes numbers from the binary numeral system.
		Rachel Roberts, the Canadian fashion model who played the role, was not initially credited in the movie (her credit was added for the home video release; in the threatrical release "Simone" was credited as "herself"), and she worked under the pseudonym "Anna Green" during production.
		S1m0ne also currently includes the most recent use of the Pygmalion motif.

	S1M0NE
		Now, in S1M0NE, he explores the idea that people can be created with computers, the fine line between movie magic and reality and the hardships that celebrities face because of their profession.
		What happens in S1M0NE is that Simone begins to dominate Viktor's life and his movies, to the point that she gets more attention than his work.
		S1M0NE is a movie rich with ideas, and while Andrew Niccol probably could have made more with his material, I liked his approach nonetheless.

	S1M0NE
		One might say his latest effort, S1m0ne, is basically a backwards version of Truman — instead of the entire world duping one man, one man dupes the entire world.
		Sadly, S1m0ne is a concept that is much better in theory than it is in practice.
		S1m0ne opens with a situation very similar to Woody Allen's Hollywood Ending.

	DVD Verdict Review - S1m0ne
		Better than you'd think, S1m0ne is low-key and subtle, but jam-packed with nifty little touches that will appeal to the cineaste more than the casual video viewer.
		In a sense, S1m0ne is the reverse of Niccol's screenplay for The Truman Show.
		S1m0ne manages to make us laugh while leaving us with a new uneasiness about what we see on the silver screen.

		S1m0ne is primarily a "talkie" type of feature and could possibly have gotten by with just a stereo soundtrack such are the origins of the feature itself.
		That said however, S1m0ne is the latest title to be released by Roadshow with DTS ES 6.1 (754 kbps) Dolby Digtal EX 5.1 (448 kbps) and Stereo (224 kbps) soundtracks, all of which are in English only.
		S1m0ne has one of the nicer prints that I have witnessed in recent times.

	IGN: s1m0ne Review
		s1m0ne, from Gattaca writer-director Andrew Niccol takes a look at the life of one digital actor and her influence on the movie-going public, her creator, and Hollywood itself.
		S1m0ne herself shows a slight bit of fading but that is, I hope, intentional on the part of the filmmakers.
		S1m0ne rarely flexes the sub but you will get some very nice wide stage plays whenever Pacino sits down at his machine.

	S1M0NE - Movie Review (Simone)
		'S1m0ne' is, sporadically, a very funny satire of Hollywood, the media, and the often completely irrational nature of fan culture.
		Taransky is fed up with the ridiculous demands of movie stars, from squabbling over who has the biggest trailer to commanding him to pick all the pink ones out of a bag of jelly-beans.
		But, for all that, I found 'S1m0ne' an enjoyable movie, predominantly for its tongue-in-cheek approach and, of course, the presence of the marvellous Pacino.

	The Bubakar Awards...S1m0ne reviewed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		If there is an inherent flaw in Andrew Niccol's directorial debut, S1m0ne, it is the simple fact that we are supposed to find a digitally created actor shocking or surprising in any way.
		S1m0ne is summed up in an exchange between Pacino as Taransky and Keener, who plays his ex-wife, who is the studio head.
		S1m0ne is good enough, but it had the potential to be great.

		While not quite the equal of his other two outings, S1m0ne is damn good film-- full of barbs and jokes at the expense of Hollywood actors and studios.
		There is a David Mamet feel of being slightly removed from the characters, yet that seems to be a staple of Niccol's films as well.
		S1m0ne is a fun movie that questions the way Hollywood and its adoring public really works.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: S1m0ne \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"S1m0ne" isn't the first Hollywood parody to come out of the Entertainment Capital of the World this year.
		But it's also cliched, and there are glaring plot holes galore, which lead to a rather unsatisfying ending — one that could be resolved in an easier, more convincing fashion.
		"S1m0ne" is rated PG-13 for scattered use of profanity, brief sexual, some vulgar sexual talk, slapstick violence (a "riot" of sorts) and flashes of partial female nudity.

	Jigsaw Lounge - S1M0NE
		Just as its pixellated heroine is a combination of legendary Hollywood sex sirens (plus a little Ernest Borgnine), S1m0ne is a composite — fundamentally a hybrid of Billy Wilder’s Fedora and William Gibson’s novel Idoru, but with countless further in-jokes, references and hommages thrown into the mix.
		But S1m0ne, like Simone, is more than just the sum of its parts: visually striking and thematically intriguing, it’s often also laugh-out-loud hilarious while managing the extremely difficult feat of sustaining its comic momentum over an audacious 2-hour running time.
		The one striking exception comes when Simone ‘appears’ in public for the first time at a sell-out stadium concert: enshrouded by dry ice, hologrammatically belting out ‘Natural Woman’ to her arm-waving, adoring public.

	BBC - Gloucestershire Films - S1m0ne Review
		Adored by audiences, she even releases a single, but Viktor decides to keep her fakeness a secret, winding up in more trouble than she's worth.
		From the writer of "The Truman Show", you'd expect some digs at the media industry, and "S1m0ne" sets itself up as a satire of star-worship and the shallowness of modern-day fame.
		Simone herself is almost-living proof of how inaccessible modern stars are - nobody's seen her in the flesh, but they don't doubt her existence.

	DVD.net : S1m0ne - DVD Review
		But S1m0ne, his second go at directing (again from his own screenplay) is, disappointingly, far less accomplished than his debut.
		The somewhat surreal nature of the film is illustrated by a decidedly surreal colour palette in many sequences throughout the movie, and elsewhere there seems to have been a deliberate effort made to balance colour and contrast in what would normally be considered to be an unnatural way.
		A decided disappointment despite a promising premise, S1m0ne gets a lot of things right but gets the big picture wrong, and as a result is only a vaguely entertaining satire when it could easily have been so much more.

		Created from computer code, Hank's invention--deemed S1M0NE from the abbreviated Simulation 1 and morphed into Simone for the masses--is beautiful, talented, and breathtakingly real.
		But his attempts to sabotage her career only drag him further into the media frenzy that his creation attracts.
		Written and directed by Andrew Niccol (GATTACA), S1M0NE proves to be an interesting and insightful look at the movie business and the star-hungry media.

		S1M0NE highlights a very interesting concept: today, it's theoretically possible to make a feature film without flesh-and-blood actors.

	The HooK: MOVIE REIVEW- on S1m0ne
		It's pretty obvious that the brilliant mind behind S1m0ne is the same one that was responsible for The Truman Show.
		From what we see of Simone, she still can't interact closely with living co-stars (although in an all-digital cast that shouldn't be a problem), and the instant proficiency of the technologically challenged Viktor is hardly believable.
		But S1m0ne isn't supposed to be a documentary.

		S1m0ne was written and directed by Andrew Niccol, who also wrote The Truman Show and Gattaca.
		The film also stars Jay Mohr as Hal Sinclair, Evan Rachel Wood as Viktor’s daughter Lainey, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Max Sayer, a sceptical and somewhat obsessed reporter, Jason Schwartzman as Milton and Rachel Roberts as Simone.

	SPLICEDwire \| "S1m0ne" review (2002) Andrew Niccol, Al Pacino, Catherine Keener, Winona Ryder
		Not worth paying for, but as a curiosity on HBO or Showtime, it might be worth watching while channel-surfing.
		Beneath the uncanny, inevitable and seemingly shrewd facade of the movie-biz farce "Simone" -- about a computer-generated actress taking Hollywood by storm because nobody knows she's not real -- lies a plot cobbled together from largely flat and uncreative moments.
		An uncredited Canadian actress named Rachel Roberts provides the physical basis for the character, which was manipulated with different physical traits and vocal elements.

		The display blurred with a couple of smeared brush strokes of misty clouds refusing definition, but accenting the show like angels breath in a bouquet.
		The two S1m0ne tickets burning a whole in my pocket, I still couldn't move my feet for at least 30 minutes and even then, I strained my neck looking back over my shoulder as the glorious sunset faded to blue and red only and then blue only.
		Well, having missed the first half hour, we decided to stop for food, so with 30 minutes left in the production, we knocked on the locked theatre door and convinced the manager that we were willing to see the remainder of the film unbriefed by the intro.

		This program can realistically create computer actors that will seem real, but are completely controlled by the computer operator.

		More then enough reason to rent the DVD and see for myself whether this is an undiscovered treasure or best left on the bottom shelf at the video place.
		S1m0ne (pronounced “simone”, but it looks much cooler like this) is about idealist movie director Viktor Taransky (Pacino) who’s trying to make creative films in Hollywood.
		When the star of his current project walks away it looks like his career is over.

		Viktor gives it a go and replaces Nikola with S1m0ne (Rachel Roberts) - nine months later, the movie is a smash.
		Although Viktor created S1m0ne, it seems as though it's the other way around; his name and face are right next to hers, but only as a result of how audiences are accepting her computer-generated talents.
		Overall, the film is above-average; the dialogue is half original, half cliché and the acting is entertaining enough due largely to Pacino.

		The premise of S1m0ne is superb: what if it is possible to create a "digital" actor that cannot be distinguished (on film at least) from a real person?

		S1m0ne is based on the very interesting premise of a man "creating" a computer-generated actress that is so convincing that she becomes a celebrity that threatens to overshadow him.

		One could consider S1m0ne as an attempt by writer/director Andrew Niccol to comment on the over-importance of actors in movies today, the amazing advances in technology, and the gullibility of the general public (or sheep, as one of my friends calls us).
		Though not credited for her efforts in the film, model Rachel Roberts plays the title character quite well, though Niccol obviously used technology to change her appearance and voice to a certain degree.
		Honestly I'd say that Roberts looks better than the digitally enhanced s1m0ne.
