In the successful series format--the official tie-in to the
heralded biopic of the late comic genius Andy Kaufman, the popular
and controversial star of Taxi, starring Jim Carrey, Courtney Love,
and Danny DeVito, from the same team who wrote and directed the
award-winning The People vs. Larry Flynt. Known as a "comic's
comic," Andy Kaufman built his career on guest appearances on
Saturday Night Live and David Letterman, transformed his "foreign
man" character into the enormously successful Latka Gravas on the
popular TV show Taxi, and then made headline news wrestling any
woman who challenged him. His career ended tragically when he died
of lung cancer at the age of 35. Today, Andy Kaufman's work is seen
constantly on reruns of Taxi and on Comedy Central, and he is a
cult figure for an entire generation of comics, from Michael
Richards (Seinfeld) to Sinbad. Robin Williams, Steve Martin, and
especially, Jim Carrey, have lauded Kaufman as the originator of
modern comic sketches. No one on earth could bring Andy Kaufman
back to life like the amazing Jim Carrey. In a remarkable
performance, Carrey transforms himself into Latka Gravas, Tony
Clifton, and many of Kaufman's other personas. Man on the Moon not
only captures the genius and madness of Andy Kaufman (and Jim
Carrey) for their fans but introduces Kaufman's work to an entire
new generation. In the Newmarket Shooting Script Series format,
here is the complete shooting script, an introduction and notes by
the award-winning screenwriters, movie stills, credits, and an
interview with the director. Also appearing in the movie is Danny
DeVito as Kaufman's agent, Courtney Love as the comic's girlfriend,
the cast of Taxi (Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner, Christopher Lloyd,
and Tony Danza), David Letterman, wrestler Jerry Lawlor, and many,
many others. Produced by Jersey Films known for Pulp Fiction, Out
of Sight, and Living Out Loud.
