Description
Man on the Moon, a Universal Pictures movie celebration of the late comic genius Andy Kaufman, reunites director Milos Forman (One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus) and writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who created the award-winning The People vs. Larry Flynt.
By any measure, Man on the Moon is an extraordinary film, unique in how it was written, cast, and filmed. This book details the process of re-creating on screen the life of a totally illusive character whose performance art astonished audiences and changed our perception of comedy. In a detailed introduction and their meticulously annotated screen notes, Scott Alaxander and Larry Karaszewski, also the writers of Ed Wood, discuss the challenges of translating hundreds of hours and thousands of pages of research into a script and of the obligations they felt in writing their third showbiz biopic. In the afterword, they interview the legendary director Milos Forman, who reveals why he wanted to make this movie and how he altered the script to fit his vision of Kaufman.
Illustrated with archival photos of Kaufman's family and friends, along with production stills from the film, Man on the Moon captures the genius and madness of Andy Kaufman for his fans—past, present, and future.
