About This Item
Hardback. New. <p>'<b>A stunning, emotionally satisfying tale about the art of storytelling.</b> I never wanted the lights to come up. I could not put it down' <b>GRAHAM NORTON</b><br /><br /><b>'</b>It's its own universe, complete with a sun, a cast of circling planets, and a limitless number of stars. Its gravity pulls you in and its far reaching, multi-layered, rollicking exuberance holds you in place<b>. I would have been happy to live inside this book forever' ANN PATCHETT<br /><br />A wildly ambitious story of the making of a colossal, star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film, and the humble comic book that inspired it all. </b><br /><br />Spanning 80 years of a changing America and culminating in the opening of the film, we meet a colourful cast of characters including a troubled soldier returning from war, a young boy with an artistic gift, an inspired and eccentric director, a pompous film star on the rise, a tireless production assistant and countless film crew members that together create Hollywood magic.<br /><br />Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, <i>The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece </i>offers an insider's take on the momentous efforts it takes to make a film. At once a reflection on America's past and present, on the world of show business and the real world we all live in.<br /><br /><b>Praise for Tom Hanks:</b><br /><br />'Authentically geniune . . . a Writer with a capital W.' <b>Stephen Fry</b><br />'Hanks's prose is impressive . . . fluent, convincing and confident.' <b><i>The Times</i></b><br />'Tom Hanks is a wise and hilarious writer with an endlessly surprising mind.' <b>Steve Martin</b></p>
