Director Abel Ferrara thinks movie fans will be surprised by new film 'Welcome to New York'.
The flick has been inspired by the downfall of Dominique Strauss-Khan - the French economist and politician, who was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel employee in 2011 - but Ferrara warned moviegoers not to expect a documentary-like production.
He explained to ShortList magazine: "In the beginning when we were screening it, I started sensing people were coming thinking it was going to be a documentary on Strauss-Khan. And the film is not a documentary - this is a film made by me and my guys, with Gerard [Depardieu] and Jacqueline [Bisset] in it. And that's a separate entity."
The filmmaker warned audiences not to bother seeing the movie if they want a documentary-style piece.
He added: "So it needed Gerard saying, very straight up, 'I'm not playing the guy, because I don't respect the guy.' Ya dig?
"What you're seeing is a performance. You come here to watch the Dominique Strauss-Khan story, you're coming to the wrong f*****g theatre. You'd better leave now."
The film is strongly disliked by Anne Sinclair, who was Strauss-Khan's wife at the time of the scandal.

Ian Somehalder wishes he could seduce women more "easily."
The 'Vampire Diaries' star, 35, admits he struggles to flirt with people of the opposite sex and believes his life would be a whole lot better if he could entice ladies with a bit of charm.
When asked what skill he wishes he had, he replied: "Seducing women so easily. If it were that easy, life would be so much simpler."
Meanwhile, the hunky star - who is reportedly dating Nikki Reed - believes he can tell straight away if he's in to someone as his heart starts to flutter and his body is taken over my a bizarre "electrical feeling."
He explained: "You know when you stand next to someone and there's an electrical feeling [that's when you know you're into someone]. You feel that connection and your heart beats fast."
Ian - who dated his co-star Nina Dobrev for three years until they called off their romance in May 2013 - claims good company and a bottle of wine can help him get over heartbreak a lot quicker.
He told Women's Health magazine: "There are a million ways to get over it [a break-up]. You have wine, you have exercise, you have meditation, and you have friends. Friends can be your meditation and so can Pinot."

Ray Winstone insists he's just a "dad", not a "hardman".
The 57-year-old actor has a reputation for being a tough guy thanks to his roles in gritty movies like 'Nil By Mouth' and 'London Boulevard', but he insists he's nothing like the characters he plays on screen.
Ray explained: "People write things like I'm a hardman, they just write things like that.
"I'm not like that - I'm a dad. I've got three daughters. I look after my family and that's that. I'm not a hardman."
As father to three daughters - 32-year-old rapper-and-model Lois, 29-year-old actress Jaime and 13-year-old Ellie - and husband to his wife of 35 years, Elaine, Ray admitted that spending time with his children is what he cherishes most and revealed he takes inspiration from his black cab driver father Raymond J. Winstone and his late mother, Margaret Richardson.
He told Loaded magazine: "I had a good life growing up. There wasn't the money but my dad and mum kept a family together. My gran and granddad were the same. We've tried to have the same approach towards the girls. I sometimes think I've been a bit strict - but I'm also a big softie really. I worry for them, obviously."

This comes after Lindsay - who is said to be keen to move to the English capital - has been spotted holding hands outside the Club Room at the Miabella Club in London with 'TOWIE' newcomer Vas J. Morgan.
A show source told Now magazine: "We always ensure that everyone on the show has a genuine connection to Essex. As a friend of Vas, Lindsay might fit the bill, but there are no plans as yet."

The 42 year old actor, who played Christian Clarke in the BBC One soap, shrunk from 211lbs to 176lbs due to the stress of seeing his mother develop Alzheimer's.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "As I'm my mother's primary carer, I haven't had time to sit down and relax. It's been like having a baby.
The hunky star left the show in 201and made a brief comeback in April for funeral of Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater), but has no plans to return full time.
He added: "It's [caring for my mother is] also one of the reasons why I won't be returning to 'EastEnders.'
However, John has signed up to appear in the upcoming celebrity gymnastics show 'Tumble', which has also helped him get back into shape.
He explained: "My whole physique has changed again since training for the show started. It gives me great pleasure to know that on a Saturday night my mum will be able to switch on the TV and see me. She's my number one fan and I'm her number one boy."
'Tumble' kicks off tonight (09.08.14) on BBC One at 6:30pm.

Jada Pinkett Smith was worried how her fans would react when she took Will Smith's last name.
The 'Madagascar' actress, who has daughter Willow, 13, and son Jaden, 16, with her husband of 17 years, feared she would be criticised for failing to be an "independent woman" by sticking to tradition and changing her name after they tied the knot in 1997.
In a new blog post on her Facebook page, she wrote: "The dilemma you face whether to change your last name to your husband's is a timely one. I have always believed that an empowered woman is one that can stand on her own two feet and has the strength to trust her personal code of womanhood and not necessarily the code that a collective creates as the standard to which an independent woman must adhere to, to actually be identified as...independent."
She eventually decided to add Smith to her original moniker, Jada Pinkett.
She added: "Each woman carries a different code so that she may never be replicated and is assured her individuality and freedom. As long as your decision reflects your personal code towards building the woman you want to be in this world...congrats...job well done."
The 42-year-old actress recently gushed about her marriage to Will and how it has "evolved."
She said: "Will, to me, encompasses everything. It's almost as if calling him 'my husband' is too small of a word for what he means in my life... I think I had a very stuck idea of what a husband looks like, what a wife should be. Once I broke all of that, a whole new world opened for me and man, oh, man, I got to see him in all his glory. And so that's what it's evolved into. And I'm just ecstatic about it."

Julia Roberts used to think she was prettier than Halle Berry.
The 'August: Osage County' star admits she used to be very competitive with other actresses, but believes it was a "godsend" that she was never won accolades or titles for her appearance because it helped her to stay grounded.
The 46-year-old star told the September issue of InStyle magazine: "I think I've always sort of been on the more boyish spectrum of girls. For example, I've never been chosen as 'one of the top-five hottest actresses in a bikini.' And honestly, it's a godsend. When I was younger, I'd think, 'Oh, I'm the prettiest one. It's not Halle Berry. It's not!' But it is, you know?"
The Oscar-winning actress, who has nine-year-old twins, Hazel and Phinneaus, and seven-year-old son Henry with husband Danny Moder, insists that her life isn't glamorous away from the spotlight and she still struggles to juggle everything.
Explaining why she hates being asked, "How do you do it all?" she said: "Because, (a) I'm not nearly as busy as people think, (b) half of everything just doesn't get done -- as long as no one is in tears, nobody smells bad and everyone's sleeping peacefully, I've done my job -- and (c) I have a supportive group of girlfriends, a great husband and an understanding family. The rest gets done with grit, spit and a whole lot of duct tape."

Nina Dobrev was "paranoid" about getting arrested when she went out with a police officer.
The 'Let's Be Cops' star, who split from Ian Somerhalder in May 2013 after three years together, admitted she once freaked out when she discovered a former blind date's powerful occupation.
The 26-year-old actress told E! News: "I went on a date once with a police officer, unbeknownst to me. I thought he was a regular guy. And when I found out that he was a police officer...I wasn't so into it. I got paranoid that I would illegally cross the street and get a ticket for jay walking. I thought he was gonna arrest me every five seconds, so it obviously didn't go anywhere after that."
The 'Vampire Diaries' star still gets very nervous around members of law enforcement.
She said: "Even when I'm not doing something wrong, when there's a police officer [around], I suddenly feel guilty for nothing."
Nina was recently linked to a number of Hollywood heartthrobs, including Orlando Bloom, Ben McKenzie, David Anders and Derek Theler, and is annoyed many of her friends believe the rumours.
She said: "If all of my personal friends that know me so well are texting me and asking me and calling me, if they're believing it, then I couldn't imagine what everyone else in the world is believing."
She jokingly added: "I had a busy weekend at Comic-Con! I was linked to like 10, 15 guys apparently."

David Arquette doubts that he and ex-wife Courteney Cox will attend each other's upcoming nuptials.
The 42-year-old actor, who split from the former 'Friends' star in 2010 after almost 11 years of marriage and is now engaged to Christina McLarty, insists they are still "very close," but has no plans to invite the brunette beauty, who is engaged to Johnny McDaid, to his upcoming wedding.
Asked if they will attend each other's nuptials, the 'Scream' star told PEOPLE.com: "I doubt that. We're all very tight and very close and very supportive of everyone. You've got to give it a little [space]."
A source previously claimed that Courteney had already invited David to her wedding in Northern Ireland.
The former couple's 10-year-old daughter, Coco, will have a special job at his ceremony.
He said she can have "any role she wants," and jokingly added: "She'll be my maid of honour!"
Coco has formed a close bond with David's three-month-old son, Charlie, with Christina.
He said: "She's never jealous. She's just the best big sister ever. She can't stop kissing him enough!"
He added: "I'm good at diaper duty. It's my second time around, so I have some experience under my belt, but it's 10 years later, so that changes things."
