Description
Following the bestselling Adventures in the Screen Trade, Goldman has even more secrets to tell. He shares behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the sets of such movies as The Princess Bride, Misery, and Maverick, and fills us in on what it's like to work with Mel Gibson, Michael Douglas, Clint Eastwood, among many other Hollywood players.
He tells us what does and doesn't work on film and why, and conducts a virtual writer's clinic on classic moments in great screenplays: among them the crop-dusting scene in North by Northwest and the zipper scene in There's Something About Mary.
Finally, Goldman brings together some of today's top screenwriters to analyse and doctor a screenplay he created specifically for this book. Which Lie Did I Tell? is the definitive guide for any aspiring screenwriter, revealing the nuts and bolts behind the glitzy facade of contemporary Hollywood film.
