"High Noon", "Psycho", "All About Eve", "Brokeback Mountain", "Good
Will Hunting", "Minority Report" - What do these films have in
common? They all started out as short stories! For much of
Hollywood's history, short stories have been a major source of
ideas for successful and significant films. Today, however, not as
many short stories are being used as muses for major motion
pictures. The reason is simple: the vast majority of magazines that
published "popular" short stories - "The Saturday Evening Post",
"Look", "Mademoiselle" - are gone. The outlets for commercial short
fiction have evaporated and with them a wealth of inspiring movie
material. This book picks up where those magazines left off: these
terrific; thought provoking short stories have been selected from
more than 600 entries by an editorial board of authors,
screenwriters, directors, and producers. These very same stories
may be at a theatre near you in the future. It is intended for
anyone who has been disappointed by the movies of our day compared
to those of the Golden Era of Hollywood, refresh yourself with
these exciting short stories, and the possibilities they hold.
