Every green-lighted screenplay travels a long and harrowing
road from idea to script to celluloid. In this fascinating survey
of contemporary film craft, David Cohen of Script and Variety
magazines interviews screenwriters from across the board--Oscar
winners and novices alike--to explore what sets blockbuster
successes apart from downright disasters. Tracing the fortunes of
twenty-five films, including Troy, Erin Brockovich, Lost in
Translation, and The Aviator, Cohen offers valuable insider access
to the back lots and boardrooms, to the studio heads and directors,
and to the overcaffeinated screenwriters themselves. Full of
critical clues on how to sell a script--and avoid seeing it
destroyed before the director calls "Action!"--Screen Plays is a
book that both the aspiring screenwriter and curious cinephile will
find irresistible.
