Book

Hits, flops, and other illusions : my fortysomething years in Hollywood

Zwick, Edward, author

Overview

This career memoir from the director of 'Blood Diamond', 'The Last Samurai', 'Legends of the Fall', 'About Last Night', and 'Glory', creator of the show 'thirtysomething', and executive producer of 'My So-Called Life', gives a dishy, behind-the-scenes look at working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Though there are many factors behind such success, including luck and the contributions of his creative partner Marshall Herskovitz, he's known to have a special talent for bringing out the best in the people he's worked with, especially the actors. In those intense collaborations, he's sought to discover the small pieces of connective tissue, vulnerability, and fellowship that can help an actor realise their character in full. This memoir is also a meditation on working, with tips for anyone who's ever imagined writing, directing, or producing for the screen.
