Now, some 16 years after the publication of “A Million Little Pieces,” a film adaptation from director/co-writer Sam Taylor-Johnson (“Fifty Shades of Grey,” no relation) is getting an understated release, and it’s reasonable to assume a good percentage of viewers will have little or no knowledge of the controversial story behind the source material. Since then, his career has continued to thrive, most recently with a “Story By” credit for the acclaimed theatrical release “Queen & Slim.” By then, Frey had bounced back in a big way, with a seven-figure deal to write novels for Harper Collins. It was painful to watch.Ī few years later, Oprah said she owed Frey an apology. She called Frey on the carpet in front of a studio audience and millions of viewers. Oprah, who initially had championed the book, was not amused. Granted, Frey brought it upon himself, when it was revealed his mega-successful addiction memoir “A Million Little Pieces” contained major exaggerations and fabrications. Opens Friday at the Logan Theatre and on demand. Rated R (for drug material, language throughout, some graphic nudity and sexual content). Momentum Pictures presents a film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and written by Taylor-Johnson and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
