Femme Fatale Attraction: Who is Sebastian Knight?

It turns out Sebastian Knight is also the name for a yet to be released movie. Here is a quote from a blog:

"Apparantley [sic] Seann William scott has just signed up to play a suave secret agent in new comedy sebastian knight. It'll follow the adventures of knight, whos trying to save the world while being hassled by a neurotic woman he bedded in a one-night stand."

And here is a more marketing flavoured synopsis

"The romantic comedy centers around a neurotic woman addicted to self-help who has a one-night stand with a guy only to find out he is a CIA agent who hooked up with her to get himself out of a jam."

And who is Seann Willam Scott? Remember "Dude, Where's My Car?", "Road Trip" and the "American Pie" films?

So is the reference Ruby was making (the movie I hope, not the actor)?

So Who is Sebastian Knight

The Real Life of Sebastian Knight is a novel by Vladimir Nabokov (the author of Lolita).

"The narrator, Sebastian's half brother, sets out to record Sebastian Knight's life as he understands it. But buried amid the extensive quoting, digressions, seeming explanations and meaningful digs......, Sebastian's erratic and troubled persona remains as elusive as ever. As does the narrator's. Do they exist or are they an illusion? In the unresolved confusion between the real and unreal there are no answers, for this is a book that defies summing up in its quest for human truth."

Interestingly the brother discovers Sebastian had an affair with a woman whose identity was not disclosed by Sebastian. But folloinwg clues of a a painful love affair he narrows down a list of four woman to one. She onlyh reveals her real identifty to the narrator after leading him on, pretending to be someone else herself.

Okay, can anyone make sense of the comparison to me and Sebastian Knight? Is it my story? Ruby's? Our? Just clunky clues cos a few things were similar - or just coincidence

But then there is a movie due out in 2011 called "Sebastian Knight" - the plot summary is "A CIA agent gets more than he bargains for after having a one-night stand with a neurotic woman vactioning in Monaco in order to get himself out of jail. When she becomes convinced that they made a true love connection, he is soon sorry they ever met."
