Story
Developed under a working title, Loosely According to the True Love Story, a film is loosely according to a story of author Fyodor Dostoevsky, who dictated his novel, The Gambler, in Thirty years sequentially to pay off the gambling debt—and in the run, fell smitten by owning his immature stenographer. Within Alex & Emma, Alex (Wilson) is the creator, world health organization must repay the USD$100,000 debt to the Cuban mafia or face dire consequences. Fallowing his laptop computer is destroyed, he hires Emmthe (Hudson), a shorthand typist world health organization talks up to she writes. When Alex dictates his novel to Emmthe, a picture cuts away to scenes from either a novel, in which Adam (Wilson) lessens for a series of nannies (a lot played by Hudson). In time life imitates art, & Alex & Emma fall enamored.
