Writing Movies provides a comprehensive look at screenwriting, covering all the fundamentals (plot, character, scenes, dialogue, etc.) and such crucial—but seldom discussed—topics as description, voice, tone, and theme. These concepts are illustrated through analysis of five brilliant screenplays—Die Hard, Thelma & Louise, Tootsie, Sideways, and The Shawshank Redemption. Also included are writing assignments and step-by-step tasks that take writers from rough idea to polished screenplay. Written by Gotham Writers’ Workshop expert instructors, Writing Movies offers the same winning style and clarity of presentation that have made a success of Gotham’s previous book Writing Fiction.
