The Directors: Take Four | 
by Robert J. Emery. Today’s most acclaimed film directors reveal intimate, behind-the-scenes details of their most influential work and their unique approaches to their art. This companion to the Silver Plaque-winning Starz/Encore documentary series is the fourth installment of the series that was declared an “unquenchable entertainment value” by Kirkus Reviews. This book offers in-depth interviews with ten directors: Cameron Crowe, Adrian Lyne, Tony Scott, Phillip Noyce, Milos Forman, Frank Darabont, Wolfgang Petersen, David Cronenberg, Mike Figgis, and Neil Jordan. From masterful insights into the craft of directing to reminiscences of on-the-set pranks, this volume shares rich detail on the making of films from Fatal Attraction to The Crying Game, Amadeus to Top Gun, The Shawshank Redemption to The Fly. Readers will learn directors’ earliest reactions to scripts for films that became classics; how famous scenes were staged and shot; how unknown actors landed major roles and went on to become superstars; how underdog films confounded expectations; and much more. Containing each director’s filmography, complete listings of major awards, and cast credits for all films discussed, this volume belongs on the shelf of every filmmaker and movie lover. 6 X 9, 256 pages; Paperback, ISBN 1-58115-279-5.
