I was destined to direct Blow. I under-stand that you cant control your destiny, you can only give into
it, help guide it by being open to it.
As George puts it, there is a titanic coachman of destiny, and he guides us all."
Ted Demme
Offering proof that cocaine memoirs and philosophy do mix, Blow By Blow explores the making of the Ted Demme-directed movie Blow, starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz and Ray Liotta. Using images from the film, Demmes own behind-the-scenes digital photographs, dialogue from Nick Cassavetes and David McKennas script, and poetry and short stories from the films real-life template George Jung, the book expands beyond the traditional boundaries of film spin-offs.
The real and fictional worlds of its ex-coke-baron protagonist are played off against each other whilst the films themes of destiny and drugs are examined from all angles.
Demme met big-time 1970s dealer George Jung in 1995
at the Federal Penitentiary in Rhode Island and became fascinated by this former partner of Pablo Escobars eulogies about fate. Compelled to bring Jungs silver-spoon metaphysics to the silver screen, Demme offered
the part to Depp, who also developed a close relationship with the jailed poet.
Combining intimate portraits of Depp and Demme with Jung, evocative stills from the movies 70s dreamland and the overlapping narratives of screenplay and autobiography, Blow is an absorbing book in its own right as well as a rich souvenir for fans of the film.
