Klappentext "I hope Patrick McGilligan keeps doing his invaluable Backstory series as long as there is cinema. No books more clearly elucidate the actual messy, infuriating, and wildly creative process of moviemaking. If you want to know the truth about how films are made today, Backstory 5 is the place to find it."—Joseph McBride, author of Searching for John Ford and Steven Spielberg: A Biography "Pat McGilligan is the great American film historian, and the Backstory series is his epic, subversive account of how movies are really made. Backstory 5 , like the volumes before it, is entertaining, eye-opening and indispensable."—Lee Server, author of Robert Mitchum: Baby I Don't Care and Ava Gardner: Love is Nothing Zusammenfassung Emphasizing the craft of writing and the process of collaboration, this title looks at how Hollywood is changing to meet the economic and creative challenges. It explores how the screenwriters come up with their ideas, how they go about adapting a stage play or work of fiction, and how they organize and structure their work.
