The thinly fictionalized movie adaptation penned by Peter Straughan sees Pegg play the self-promoting British writer Toby Young in the movie adaptation of his bestselling book in which he detailed his disastrous stint as a contributing editor for Vanity Fair in New York. Young is merciless about his own hapless attempts to ingratiate himself with celebrities and impress supermodels. But he is equally scathing about the ego and grandeur of his boss, editor-in-chief Graydon Carter Carter, and the self-importance of the entire Vanity Fair machine. All names have been changed for the purposes of the movie -- Vanity Fair becomes Sharps magazine, for example, and Carter will be Clayton Harding.
