| Description: |
For much of Hollywood's history, short stories have been a major source of ideas for successful and significant films. This book presents a collection of short stories which have been selected from more than 600 entries by an editorial board of authors, screenwriters, directors, and producers. |
| Synopsis: |
"High Noon", "Psycho", "All About Eve", "Brokeback Mountain", "Good Will Hunting", "Minority Report" - What do these films have in common? They all started out as short stories! For much of Hollywood's history, short stories have been a major source of ideas for successful and significant films. Today, however, not as many short stories are being used as muses for major motion pictures. The reason is simple: the vast majority of magazines that published "popular" short stories - "The Saturday Evening Post", "Look", "Mademoiselle" - are gone. The outlets for commercial short fiction have evaporated and with them a wealth of inspiring movie material. This book picks up where those magazines left off: these terrific; thought provoking short stories have been selected from more than 600 entries by an editorial board of authors, screenwriters, directors, and producers. These very same stories may be at a theatre near you in the future. It is intended for anyone who has been disappointed by the movies of our day compared to those of the Golden Era of Hollywood, refresh yourself with these exciting short stories, and the possibilities they hold. |
