James Cox directs the sleazy Hollywood murder tale
Wonderland, starring
Val Kilmer as legendary
porn star
John Holmes. Using a non-linear plot structure, the film explores different perspectives of the quadruple homicide that occurred on July 1, 1981, in the Hollywood Hills. At the lowest point of his career and the height of his drug addiction,
Holmes was implicated in the murders of the Wonderland gang:
Ron Launius (
Josh Lucas),
Billy Deverell (
Tim Blake Nelson),
Barbara Richardson (
Natasha Gregson Wagner), and
Joy Miller (
Janeane Garofalo).
Launius' wife,
Susan (
Christina Applegate), was the only survivor. Led by
Detective Sam Nico (
Ted Levine), the police investigation reveals a dark criminal underworld surrounding
Holmes, his disapproving wife,
Sharon (
Lisa Kudrow), and his innocent teenage girlfriend,
Dawn Schiller (
Kate Bosworth).
Eric Bogosian stars as notorious Hollywood nightclub owner
Eddie Nash.
Wonderland premiered at the
2003 Toronto Film Festival.
