The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece
Author: Tom Hanks
A stunning, emotionally satisfying tale about the art of storytelling. I never wanted the lights to come up. I could not put it down. — GRAHAM NORTON
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. I would have been happy to live inside this book forever. — ANN PATCHETT
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. Spanning 80 years of a changing America and culminating in the opening of the film, we meet a colorful 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
- Countless film crew members
Together, they create Hollywood magic. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece 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.
