| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films
- Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.
To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:
- Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.)
- Film infobox ({{infobox film}})
- Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
- Plot summary
- Include cast and crew information.
- At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.)
- Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))
Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF
Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

- However, Hiller objected to the way Eszterhas recut the film. So, as a result, in one of Hollywood's greatest ironies, An Alan Smithee Film: BHB is officially directed by: Alan Smithee.
This strikes me as actually not real and probably just a publicity stunt. However, I don't have any evidence of this... Any thoughts? Morwen - Talk 10:42, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Considering the reviews it got it doesn't seem so inconceivable. —Casey J. Morris 13:28, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

- Whether or not it's true, it's not ironic. An Alan Smithee film being directed by Alan Smithee is exactly what you would expect. Metamatic 23:12, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
The Ebert review linked claims that it was actually released as "An Alan Smithee Film Burn Hollywood Burn" with no colon; I don't know of anything else to substantiate that though. Glasser 02:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A really bad film about a really bad film?
Am I reading it right - that the film is about a really bad film, but the film itself is generally regarded as really bad? Andjam (talk) 20:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
