Download or read book Ed Wood, Mad Genius written by Rob Craig and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-09-12 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filmmaker Ed Wood was controversial and critically maligned, even labeled “the worst director of all time,” yet he achieved cult status and remains of great interest today. This book frames Wood’s work, such as the cross-dressing themed Glen or Glenda? and the haphazard Bride of the Monster, as reflections of the culture of their era. Wood invariably worked with infinitesimal budgets, shooting at breakneck speed, incorporating plot twists that defied all logic. Yet there was a tangible if unfocused thematic thrust to Wood’s films, which meditate fitfully on gender, religion and society, revealing a “holy trinity” of fixations—sex, death and resurrection. Wood’s infamous Plan 9 From Outer Space encapsulates the fixations and flaws that were his hallmarks, and with 22 other films, is explored here. A filmography and 47 photographs are included.

Book excerpt: Strippers, zombies, fugitives and jewel thieves. These were just some of the characters who inhabited the weird, wild films of director Stephen C. Apostolof in the 1960s and 1970s. But Apostolof's own life was every bit as improbable as the plots of his lurid movies. Escaping the clutches of the communists in his native Bulgaria, he came to America in 1952 and decided on a whim to reinvent himself as a Hollywood filmmaker, right down to the cigars, sunglasses and Cadillacs. He produced a string of memorable sexploitation classics, including the infamous Orgy of the Dead. Along the way, he married three times, fathered five children and forged a personal and professional relationship with the notorious Ed Wood, Jr. Drawing on rare archival material and interviews with those who knew him best, this first biography of Apostolof chronicles the life and career of a cult film legend.

Book Synopsis Plan 9 from Outer Space: the Original Uncensored Screenplay by : Edward Wood
Download or read book Plan 9 from Outer Space: the Original Uncensored Screenplay written by Edward Wood and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's been called "the worst movie of all time..." Now is YOUR chance to read the original, uncensored screenplay of Ed Wood's infamous film Plan 9 from Outer Space and judge for yourself! Originally titled Grave Robbers from Outer Space, Wood reportedly wrote the film's script from start to finish in a matter of days, following the untimely death of the film's "star," Bela Lugosi. The movie became Plan 9 from Outer Space when, according to legend, the Baptist church funding part of the project found the original title to be "highly offensive." Both titles are contained on the script you have before you: a found-and-unaltered copy of the script that many believe to be the working version used by Ed Wood while filming the movie. Featuring hand-written annotations and corrections alongside the dialogue and scene descriptions that were hammered out on a typewriter back in 1956 (including content that never made it to the finished version of the film), this is a definitive collector's item for any fans of Plan 9, Ed Wood, or horror/sci-fi B-movie mania in general!

Book excerpt: This is the first full-length biography of the visionary Hollywood filmmaker Tim Burton, director of Batman, Batman Returns, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Peewee's Big Adventure, Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks!, and Sleepy Hollow. More than an examination of his body of work, this book takes an in-depth look at Tim Burton's personal life, which until now the reclusive director has managed to keep under wraps. Author Ken Hanke examines the frail, wild-haired fellow whose unique, introverted feature films are passionately admired by many and dismissed by others. How does he command the respect of so many big names in a creative industry not much known for good judgment? How has he managed to carve out an impossibly personal and quirky body of work within the confines of the most mainstream venues of establishment Hollywood? You'll learn about: * Tim Burton's unhappy childhood; to this day he has no relationship with his family * the real reason why Tim Burton left Disney after Ed Wood * his collaborations with talent such as Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Vincent Price (his idol), and Danny Elfman * the autobiographical elements in Edward Scissorhands * Tim Burton's often disastrous involvement with other people's projects * the ramifications of excessive power-- the Batman Returns debacle * the collapse of the Superman Reborn project
