Tim Burton directs this biographical drama starring Christoph Waltz
and Amy Adams. The film follows the story of American artist
Margaret Keane (Adams), who, in the 1960s, allowed her husband
Walter (Waltz) to claim credit for her artwork, believing that a
female artist could not find success through painting. The Keanes
acquired huge amounts of wealth through Margaret's work and the
paintings were in high demand throughout their time living together
as husband and wife. However, when they later became separated,
Margaret announced to the world that she was in fact the true
author of the paintings, sparking a long-drawn-out legal battle
between her and her estranged husband... Adams won a Golden Globe
Award for her performance.
Once upon a time – the 1980s – in a galaxy not really all that
far away – New York – Michael Gingold started a collection of
newspaper advertisements for the science fiction, fantasy, and
horror releases that stoked his passion as a genre fan. Eventually,
he would grow up to become editor-in-chief of the horror magazine
Fangoria, plus a writer for numerous other genre publications, a
screenwriter, respected author, and all-around expert for films
frightful and fanstastical. As the years went by, Michael held on
to this collection of weird and wonderful art, eventually
publishing the best-selling, horror-themed Ad Nauseam: Newsprint
Nightmares from the 1980s and its sequel, Ad Nauseam II: Newsprint
Nightmares from the 1990s and 2000s. And now he presents Ad Astra:
20 Years of Newspaper Ads for Sci-Fi & Fantasy Films, a
year-by-year look at the movies that shaped many a childhood in the
'80s and '90s. Inside this 270-page book, you'll find Star Trek to
Starship Troopers, The Dark Crystal to Dark City, Blade Runner to
The Running Man, RoboCop to Robot Jox, The Empire Strikes Back to
Back to the Future, and many, many more. See alternate artwork for
your favorite films, learn the fascinating behind-the-scenes
stories of their marketing campaigns, and read the most
entertaining and unexpected quotes from reviewers at the time all
carefully curated by Michael. So throw on your jetpack as we travel
back in time to when print was king and movie marketing was an art
form for the ages! Also available: Ad Nauseam: Newsprint Nightmares
from the '70s and '80s and Ad Nauseam II: Newsprint Nightmares from
the 1990s and 2000s.
