Apparently Test Audiences Didn't Believe The Disaster Artist Was Based On A True Story

As Scott Neustadter tells Slashfilm, truth is stranger than fiction, and in the case of Tommy Wiseau, it's hard to argue. The man who wrote, produced, directed, and starred in The Room is a fairly remarkable figure. Everything from his look to his accent certainly could come across as somebody playing a character, The fact that everybody else in The Disaster Artist comes across as something approximating normal humans makes Wiseau seem all the more out of place, like he is a character designed to be funny. If you've seen The Room, then you know it's all too real, but if you haven't, how could you believe any of it to be true?
