review 1: Really enjoyable book about the blood, sweat and tears -- and YEARS of frustration -- that goes into trying to get a Hollywood movie made. Reading this, it's a wonder anything makes it to the screen at all. But next time you leave the cinema feeling less than impressed, you'll remember that somewhere, a screenwriter is clutching his original, better script for it, trying not to cry about what might have been... I was especially disappointed to read about how OUTBREAK, a decidedly mediocre film about one of my favorite subjects, virology, got in the way of a big-screen (and potentially better) version of one of my favorite books of all time, THE HOT ZONE. Gutted! :-(
review 2: Great book.I love movies, watching, writing and talking about them. This book has the ... moreguts on a dozen movies that struggled to get made for all the wrong reasons, some that still live in that Pit called Development Hell and some that will languish there forever.Great line from the book, and one i've heard mentioned a million times : Great Story! Now who can we get to rewrite it!.Great book. Have a go if you like the background to some of your favourite movies. less
