Screenwriters on Screenwriting: the Best in the Business Discuss Their Craft by Joel Engel
Before any lights, camera, or action, there's the script -- arguably the most important single element in filmmaking, and Screenwriters on Screen-Writing introduces the men and women responsible for the screenplays that have produced some of the most successful and acclaimed films in Hollywood history. In each interview, not only do the writers explore the craft and technique of creating a filmic blueprint, but they recount the colorful tales of coming up in the ranks of the movie business and of bringing their stories to the screen, in a way that only natural-born storytellers such as themselves can. These and other screenwriters have garnered the attention of the movie-going population not only with their words, but with headlines announcing the sales of their scripts for hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars. Anyone interested in writing, making, or learning about movies will enjoy reading this fascinating behind-the-scenes compendium that brings together some of the most prominent and talented screenwriters in modern-day filmmaking.JOEL ENGEL is the author or co-author of more than fifteen books, including By George (the autobiography of George Foreman), The Oldest Rookie with Jim Morris (made into a movie starring Dennis Quaid), and most recently, What Would Martin Say? with Clarence B. Jones (Martin Luther King Jr.'s attorney). He is a former journalist for The New York Times and Los Angeles Times, among others, and has also worked as a television producer and screenwriter.
