Save the Cat! Goes to the Movies by Blake Snyder

In the long-awaited sequel to his surprise bestseller, Save the Cat , author and screenwriter Blake Snyder returns to form in a fast-paced follow-up that proves why his is the most talked-about approach to screenwriting in years. In the perfect companion piece to his first book, Snyder delivers even more insider's information gleaned from a 20-year track record as ?one of Hollywood's most successful spec screenwriters, ? giving you the clues to write your movie. Designed for screenwriters, novelists, and movie fans, this book gives readers the key breakdowns of the 50 most instructional movies from the past 30 years. From M*A*S*H to Crash, from Alien to Saw, from 10 to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Snyder reveals how screenwriters who came before you tackled the same challenges you are facing with the film you want to write ? or the one you are currently working on.

Blake Snyder sold scores of scripts during his 20-year career as a screenwriter and producer, including co-writing the Disney smash Blank Check and Steven Spielberg's Nuclear Family. Rescue the Cat! is his first novel. Blake led sold-out workshops and seminars all over the world and served as a consultant for Disney and DreamWorks Animation. Blake's method has become the secret weapon of many development executives, managers, and producers for its accurate, accessible, and honest appraisal of what it takes to write and develop tales in any medium, in addition to helping screenwriters, novelists, and other creative thinkers. Blake Snyder died in August of 2009, but his soul lives on in his films and writings, in his timeless advice, and in the spirit that will continue to thrive and inspire.
