In 1999, Jim Carrey portrayed his idol Andy Kaufman in “Man on the Moon.” For twenty years, the behind-the-scenes footage has been withheld…until now. Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond - With a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton is now streaming on Netflix."Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond | Official Trailer [HD] | Netflix"So, Jim.Yes?How would you start this movie?Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jim Carrey and how are you this evening? All righty then.Finding out you have something special and it gets a reaction - that's how I got attention and love.Andy Kaufman came in to turn reality on its head and not stop when the cameras stopped.Andy Kaufman cared less about making his audience laugh than keeping them confused.He blew my mind. When I heard I had the part, I was looking at the ocean. That's the moment when Andy came back to make his movie.Hello.What happened after was out of my control.Andy, that's enough! Perfect!I don't like it. I want to do one more.Andy felt it was necessary to stay in the character.He's exactly the way Andy was.It's totally surreal.I got it! I got it!Then this crazy melodrama started happening all over the place.Jimmy said they came down hard.Who's they?Universal didn't want the footage we took behind the scenes to surface so that people wouldn't think I was an asshole.Andy! You have to give me a chance to make a movie.I don't need to make a movie. I don't need to make a movie.I was thinking, how far should I take this?Quiet please. Sound check.Sound check? It's working!How far would Andy take it?You're gonna have people who are going to sue this production for mental stress.When the movie was over, I couldn't remember who I was anymore. So you step through the door not knowing what's on the other side. And what's on the other side is everything.I know him as well as I can know him. But, who do you know? Even when they're right in front of you.(Lyrics) I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyesAll the sights that I have seen(Lyrics) If you believe they put a man on the moon(Man on the moon)NetflixOfficial Selection Venice Film Festival 2017Out of CompetitionOfficial Selection Toronto International Film Festival 2017In 1999, Jim Carrey Portrated His Idol Andy KaufmanIn The Film Man On The MoonA NetflixOriginal DocumentaryFrom DirectorChris SmithAnd ProducerSpike JonzeDanny DeVitoPortraying George Shapiro, Andy's AgentPaul GiamattiPortraying Bob ZmuddaFor Nearly 20 Years, The Behind-The-Scenes Footage Has Been WithheldBob ZmudaAndy's Writing PartnerMilos FormanDirector"Hilarious, Provocative And Inspiritng" - Variety"A Fascinating Meta-Performance Study" - The Hollywood Reporter"A Revelatory Treasure Trove Of Comedic Brilliance" - FilmJim & AndyThe Great BeyondFeaturing A Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention Of Tony CliftonOnly OnNetflixNovember 17
