S1m0ne A producer's film is endangered when his star walks off, so he decides to digitally create an actress to substitute for the star, becoming an overnight sensation that everyone thinks is a real person.
As stated in the DVD commentary by writer-director Josef Rusnak, the final shot of "The Thirteenth Floor" (1999, 2 months after The Matrix) emulates an old fashioned television set being turned off i.e. where the picture collapses into a circle in the centre of the screen and then fades away. This is to leave open the question of whether there are 'even higher realities' above the one shown in the last scene i.e. being in the year 2024.
