{"product_id":"9781429917292","title":"Next Stop Hollywood: Short Stories Bound for the Screen","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistorically, short stories were a rich source of successful movies and significant films. Classics such as \u003ci\u003eRear Window, High Noon, Psycho, All About Eve,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/i\u003e began as short stories. Unfortunately, many of the major venues for discovering new talent—\u003ci\u003eThe Saturday Evening Post, Colliers,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMademoiselle\u003c\/i\u003e—are gone. Today, short stories are again becoming an important basis for major motion pictures and television, with films such as \u003ci\u003eBrokeback\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMountain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, Good Will Hunting,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMinority Report.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOne reason short stories are making a Hollywood comeback is Next Stop Hollywood, an organization dedicated to finding both new talent and terrific material. This volume, selected by more than sixty movie-buff readers and advised by an editorial board of Hollywood insiders, picks up where those magazines left off. These very same stories may be at a theater near you in the near future. For anyone who has been disappointed by the movies of our day compared to those of the Golden Era of Hollywood, refresh yourself with these exciting short stories, and the possibilities they hold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127321444592,"sku":"9781429917292","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781429917292_p0.jpg?v=1769901763","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781429917292","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
