We show that KMT-2016-BLG-1107 displays a new type of degeneracy between
wide-binary and close-binary Hollywood events in which a giant-star source
envelops the planetary caustic. The planetary anomaly takes the form of a
smooth, two-day "bump" far out on the falling wing of the light curve, which
can be interpreted either as the source completely enveloping a minor-image
caustic due to a close companion with mass ratio
