Description
Now in the acclaimed Newmarket Shooting Script series, the Oscar-winning screenplay by Emma Thompson based on the beloved classic by Jane Austen, with Thompson's candid and detailed behind-the-scenes diaries.
Bringing Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility to the screen was a labor of love for writer/actress Emma Thompson. The highly acclaimed film, nominated for seven Academy Awards (winning Best Adapted Screenplay), appeared on more than 100 Top 10 lists across the country.
Featuring the complete award-winning script, Sense and Sensibility: The Screenplay and Diaries also showcases Thompson's unreserved, often hilarious diaries that capture the unique experience of making this landmark film. In addition, the book includes an introduction by producer Lindsay Doran; over fifty photos; cast and crew credits; and Thompson's sparkling Austen-like acceptance speech at the Golden Globe awards ceremony. Thompson's rare and personal perspective makes The Sense and Sensibility Screenplay & Diaries an irresistible book for students of film and Austen devotees, as well as for everyone who loved this extraordinary movie.
"Grandly entertaining...Emma Thompson proves as crisp and indispensably clever as a screenwriter as she is a leading lady." —Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"[A] fascinating journal of making the film." —Jack Kroll, Newsweek
"A rare treat for those interested in the process of developing a first-rate (and ultimately award-winning) movie from a classic novel...The diaries chronicle [Thompson's] struggles with portraying one of literature's most reserved but nevertheless emotional heroines." —Ellen Myrick, Book Page
"This is an absolutely marvelous collection of stuff! ...Thomspon's diaries detail in a very personal way the day-to-day life during the process of making a film [and] also much from Thompson's point of view as screenwriter and actor." —Voice of Youth Advocates |
