From the Author
A Look At The Politics of Moviemaking
This book explains the inner-workings of the movie industry: why some people suceed and others do not; why some movies get made, while other projects die. Here is what reviewers have said: "Such books as McClintock's Indecent Exposure and Bach's Final Cut have given us glimpses of the beast, but Litwak's REEL POWER is the first that lets us look the monster in the face...a chilling study of that frightening creature that is the new Hollywood." -- Chicago Tribune "Much of the story unfolds in direct quotes from...insiders, who give us some valuable, fresh information on contemporary Hollywood...The book is peppered with revealing facts, figures and opinions--on the machinations behind promotional product tie-ins in movies, the role of trade unions in bloating production budgets and the gullibility of many Hollywood journalists, to cite just a few examples." -- The New York Times "[Litwak] is an astute observer of the business...[He] interviewed 200 members of the movie industry and each chapter of the book...is filled with pertinent anecdotes, as well as with an extremely intelligent and sound analysis of the various aspects of the business." -- Newsday "This is the story of the real power behind filmmaking; the agencies, the studio heads, the dealmaking, what's commercial, breaking in, moving up, holding on, the writers, directors, actors and stars, producers, sex, drugs and creative accounting, and Hollywood journalism... Delicious, shivering horror." -- Kirkus Reviews
