Cecil B. Demented is a 2000 black comedy cult film written and directed by John Waters. It stars Melanie Griffith, Stephen Dorff, Alicia Witt, Adrian Grenier, Mike Shannon, and Maggie Gyllenhaal. The title - which is also Dorff's character's name - is a play on the name of famous director Cecil B. DeMille. The film is loosely based on the 1974 kidnapping of Patricia Hearst and, like all of Waters' films, was shot in Baltimore, Maryland. The film was given a limited release in North American cinemas on August 11, 2000.
