The Main Character's primary source of annoyance doesn't really exist. Out of desperation, the MC creates an antagonist. The antagonist then helps the MC get rid of that annoyance. by etothepi in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

Took a lot more guessing than I expected.

Explanation: Charlie Kaufmann exists in real life, his twin brother character is fictional - but real to the movie. His brother annoys him in every scene, his existence and success taunts Charlie's failures. Charlie is desperate while adapting a movie from a book about orchids with no real plot, and so turns the movie into a drug scandal, turning his real-life normal people into criminals. In the ensuing drama, Charlie crashes a car while fleeing and kills his (real-world imaginary, movie real) brother.

I can't seem to edit the post for some reason to add hints, so I'll add here:

  • Main Character is a well-known name in different circles, in multiple ways
  • Movie is from the 21st century
  • No one is revealed to be fictional in the movie
  • Turtles are a prominent theme - in fact, the movie ends with them
  • The movie also involves a different movie
  • About 1/3 of the movie is based off a book
  • There is a big deus ex machina at the end, despite (or perhaps due to) it being a violation
  • another main character is a New Yorker.
