TALES FROM DEVELOPMENT HELL: THE GREATEST MOVIES NEVER MADE? (NEW UPDATED EDITION)

Book ID/图书代码: 13102012B54554

English Summary/英文概要: A compulsively readable journey into the area of movie-making where all writers, directors and stars fear to tread: Development Hell, the place where scripts are written, actors hired and sets designed... but the movies rarely actually get made!

Whatever happened to Darren Aronofsky’s Batman movie starring Clint Eastwood? Why were there so many scripts written over the years for Steven Spielberg and George Lucas’s fourth Indiana Jones movie? Why was Lara Croft’s journey to the big screen so tortuous, and what prevented Paul Verhoeven from filming what he calls "one of the greatest scripts ever written"? Why did Ridley Scott’s Crisis in the Hot Zone collapse days away from filming, and were the Beatles really set to star in Lord of the Rings? What does Neil Gaiman think of the attempts to adapt his comic book series The Sandman?

All these lost projects, and more, are covered in this major book, which features many exclusive interviews with the writers and directors involved.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 对于所有的电影制作的作家、导演、明星不敢涉足的领域一个强制可读的旅程:发展怪圈,一个脚本都写出来了、演员也都请了并且所有的设定也都确定了•••但却很少有电影制作出来的地方。

到底发生了什么使Darren Aronofsky的蝙蝠侠电影请了Clint Eastwood当主角?为什么这么多年有那么多的脚本是写给史蒂文•斯皮尔伯格和乔治•卢卡斯的第四印第安纳琼斯电影的呢?为什吗Lara Croft经历了那么扭曲的历程才最终上了大荧幕,并且到底是什么阻碍了Paul Verhoeven拍摄他所谓的“有史以来最大的脚本”? 为什么Ridley Scott《炎热区域的危机》不了了之且他之后远离拍摄,而且披头士乐队真的将出演《指环王》吗?Neil Gaiman对于他试图改变他的系列漫画书《沙人》是怎么想的?

所有这些丢失的项目,以及更多的,都包含在了这本书中,书中还有很多对参与其中的作家和导演的独家采访。(LNL)
