William Coles tells the story of Movie Rogue live from The Forester.

The world’s hottest movie couple, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, are enduring a year-long film shoot with the world’s most pernickety film director, Stanley Kubrick. Unfortunately the super-secret film set of Eyes Wide Shut has been invaded by Kubrick’s worst nightmare: Kim the tabloid reporter, complete with his trusty spy-pen camera.

Based on a true story, Movie Rogue details how in 1996 a Sun reporter became an extra on one of the most searingly graphic scenes in movie history. Along the way – it’s said – he also befriended both Tom Cruise and Kubrick. But this reporter is so much more than a mere scum-sucking tabloid hack. He is also a matchmaker, and with a wave of Kim’s pixie dust, even the most far-fetched couples can fall in love.

'Movie Rogue is the third novel in Coles's Rogue series, and they just get better and better. I haven't read a funnier book all year. Coles knocks it out of the park again with a comic humdinger. What an arresting conceit it is to base a novel around Stanley Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut - and yet, this book is based on a true story.'
