Description

Each interview guides the reader entertainingly through the creation process of the film; how the writer handled the painstaking process of creating a three-dimensional world out of their imagination; what worked - and what didn't - in the finished film; and, most importantly, why that was so. In the process, each interview is a valuable case history, offering film buffs an uncommon glimpse behind the scenes of cinema: from Oscar-winner Ted Tally, recounting life on-set with Jodie Foster and Hannibal the Cannibal on The Silence of the Lambs, to Robert Wade and Neil Purvis coming up with new ways for James Bond to Die Another Day. And represented alongside the Hollywood pros are the leading screenwriters from the US independent and European scenes.

Reviews

"Screenwriters' Masterclass taps into the same market as Syd Field, but will prove infinitely more useful. This collection truly illuminates the state of contemporary scriptwriting."
