Permanent Midnight is a 1998 independent drama film written and directed by David Veloz. It stars Ben Stiller, Maria Bello, Elizabeth Hurley, Owen Wilson, Cheryl Ladd and Janeane Garofalo. Based on Jerry Stahl's autobiographical book of the same name, it depicts Stahl, a successful TV writer for popular series like thirtysomething, Twin Peaks, and ALF, and his struggles with substance abuse.
Permanent Midnight grossed only $1.1 million in limited theatrical release in the United States, but performed better in the home video market.[2] Stiller's performance was critically acclaimed. A soundtrack album for the film was released on September 15, 1998 from DGC Records.
