The only thing harder than raising the dead is making a movie about
raising the dead. In the summer of 1931, life was good for Junior
Laemmle. Though only twenty-three years old, he was the head of all
movie production for Universal Pictures, and under his reign, the
studio flourished. So much so, he was about to be bestowed with the
greatest honor a young executive can receive in Hollywood: a
promotion to vice president of the entire company. What's more,
Carl Laemmle, his father and founder of the studio, was returning
to California for the first time in years to personally present the
honor to his son. Or so Junior thought. When his father arrives,
Junior discovers that instead of being grateful for transforming
and catapulting the out-of-date studio into the future, his father
is obsessed with Junior's next production: Frankenstein. Like the
year before, Carl is fervently against making another grisly and
gothic film, despite Dracula becoming a huge hit--a project which
Junior fought for and personally oversaw through production. Also
not helping Junior's cause, though the film is just days away from
beginning production, the final choice between Bela Lugosi and
Boris Karloff to play the role of the Monster, has yet to be made.
It's Alive! is a thrilling and vibrant portrait of 1930s Hollywood
centered around the chaotic and exciting days just before the
filming of the beloved cult-classic film, Frankenstein. Woven with
hopeful passion, emotional vulnerability, staunch determination,
and creative fulfillment, readers will be swept along with
breathless cinematic pace through events that will not only change
the lives of everyone involved, but Hollywood itself.
