Bitter Hollywood Tales from the Front Line

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

As a Hollywood film producer, Art Linson has had a hand in producing some of the most unforgettable films of the last half century--Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Untouchables, Fight Club--and has worked with some of America's finest actors and directors. Dubbed by the Los Angeles Times a breezy anatomy of ritual humiliation," Art Linson's Hollywood memoir What Just Happened? gives us a brutally honest, funny, and comprehensive tour through the horrors of Hollywood. To be released in 2008 as a feature film starring Robert De Niro and featuring appearances from Bruce Willis, Sean Penn, and John Turturro, among others, Grove Press's reissue of Linson's hysterical memoir will include a new foreword, the film's script, and several black-and-white shots from the film.

Rezensionen

Art Linson's dark gem of a book is a wickedly funny and sardonic insider's look at life in the belly of the beast. It is the best user's manual to Hollywood I know." Peter Biskind, author of Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Film

Art Linson puts a film freak exactly where he or she wants to be: in the Fox screening room during the studio brass's horrified first look at Fight Club. . . . Linson gives readers a glimpse into a bizarre world where It's good' is the absolute worst thing you can say about a movie." Entertainment Weekly

Art Linson sings of Hollywood in a low, guttural, animal wail, alternately hysterical, biting, humiliating, and wise." Sean Penn
