Description
"Over the last years Tony Gilroy has become—with no one in second place—the leading thriller writer in the movie world." –William Goldman, from his Foreword
"The primary thing in a screenplay is to make the reading experience as identical to seeing the movie as possible. What I want is somebody to be able to read the movie in one hour and fifty-eight minutes. And I want the prose to match the tone of the movie. I want it to smell as much like the movie as it possible can." –Tony Gilroy, from the Q&A
Here is the official screenplay book tie-in to the hit thriller from Warner Bros., starring Academy Award-winner George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson, Tilda Swinton, and Sydney Pollack, and written and directed by Tony Gilroy.
Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house "fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen's dirtiest work at the behest of the firm's cofounder Marty Bach (Sydney Pollack). Though burned out and hardly content with his job, his divorce, a failed business venture, and mounting debt have left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm.
At the agrichemical company U/North, meanwhile, the career of in-house counsel Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) rests on the multimillion-dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton's firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. But when Kenner Bach's brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life.
Tony Gilroy makes his directorial debut with Michael Clayton. He is the acclaimed screenwriter of The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremecy, Dolores Claiborne, The Devil's Advocate, and Armageddon, among other films.
