I believe the answer is:

epic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hollywood' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'some laudable picture from' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'EPIC' can be found hidden inside 'laudable picture from'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for epic that I've seen before include "Long poem - awesome!" , "(Of) immense (proportions)" , "great film" , "Guardian (body, beast)" , "Tale of heroic deeds" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
