By the Hollywood correspondent for "The New York Times", "Rebels On
The Backlot" is a revealing and page-turning account of the new
generation of film directors who are changing the face of today's
Hollywood. Very much as the 1970s gave rise to a defining group of
filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, the
1990s witnessed a new generation who captured the imaginations of
audiences, and opened the pursestrings of the Hollywood film
machine. "Rebels On The Backlot" follows six top-level film
directors, from the origins of their careers through the making and
release of their signature films. They are: Quenton Tarantino
("Pulp Fiction"), Paul Thomas Anderson ("Boogie Nights"), David
Fincher ("Fight Club"), Steven Soderbergh ("Traffic"), Spike Jonze
("Being John Malkovich"), and David O. Russell ("Three Kings"). The
book uses the development, writing, shooting, editing, and release
of each director's major film to explore the lives and struggles
each of them faced. It will dip in and out of each filming
experience, drawing in the stories of other figures along the way,
creating a chronological portrait of contemporary Hollywood, and
the rebel generation of the 1990s. This is also a story of an
emerging community of talented artists - directors, writers, actors
of young Hollywood - who supported each other, burn with envy at
one another's success, swap girlfriends and boyfriends, and
ultimately spur each other to greater accomplishments.
