{"product_id":"dreams-and-nightmares-book-bob-mccabe-9780007175567","title":"Dreams and Nightmares","description":"A behind-the-scenes chronicle of the creation of the Terry Gilliam’s `The Brothers Grimm’, charting all the highs and lows in the film’s journey from script to screen. Told by both Gilliam and McCabe, who provides an on-set diary, this unique account reveals exactly how a film is made – or ruined – in today’s Hollywood system.             THE BROTHERS GRIMM is Terry Gilliam's film for autumn 2005. After two years of pre-production hell, the film was finally greenlit in March 2003 by Miramax's Dimension Films with a budget bigger than anything Gilliam has ever had to work with – on condition that the film was fast-tracked for a 2004 release.             With stars Matt Damon and Heath Ledger playing the brothers Jake and Will, and co-starring Jonathan Pryce, hero from Gilliam's seminal BRAZIL, this movie is hailed as an \"Indiana Jones and the Brothers Grimm\"-style adventure, in which two Middle-Ages conmen who travel the countryside inventing horrendous ghost stories, only so they can claim to have defeated evil and be showered with gifts and women, finally encounter a real magical curse and are forced to find the courage to do a proper day's work of evil-vanquishing.             Drawing upon numerous crewmember's diaries and candid, outspoken interviews with Terry Gilliam and the stars as the basis for this book, author Bob McCabe follows Gilliam through the pre-production battle of wills between director and producers, the nightmares of filming without budget, equipment or even cast, and the anarchy and brinkmanship of post-production inevitable in a Gilliam film. He seeks to unravel the truth buried between the lines, and reveals exactly how a film is made – or ruined – in today's Hollywood system.             Guaranteed to fascinate film buffs and Terry Gilliam fans alike – already intrigued after the collapse of his Don Quixote movie formed the basis of a captivating documentary film – this amusing chronicle will be an unputdownable read and should put anyone who has aspired to direct a film in the future completely off the idea!","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49519272558865,"sku":"GOR002639114","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50121676783889,"sku":"CIN0007175566G","price":8.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50176190218513,"sku":"CIN0007175566VG","price":5.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50509791002897,"sku":"GOR004139831","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53562277134609,"sku":"GOR003711854","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0007175566.jpg?v=1751436587","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/dreams-and-nightmares-book-bob-mccabe-9780007175567","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
