This is the astonishing true story of how a bankrupt con man bounced back by beating Hollywood at its own game. Colin Hayday's first scam was ingenious: he bought a skyscraper - with no money. When the scam failed, he realised the story could make a money-spinning movie. So he drove a taxi around Soho, London's film district, pitching the idea to everyone who got into his cab. When he picked up the Oscar-winning mogul behind "Taxi Driver," "The Sting" and "Close Encounters," his next scam began. "The Players" is about endless cunning, reckless audacity, famous names and a most unlikely duo: Colin and screenwriter Jo Reynolds. It reveals the truth behind their $15 million movie deal and how they played off the world's press against the mighty Hollywood machine - to keep their dream alive.
