The men who would be king : an almost epic tale of moguls, movies, and a company called DreamWorks / Nicole LaPorte Boston ; New York: Mariner Books, 2011.
Call No: 19DRE LAPAuthor: LaPorte, Nicole Source: USPlace: Boston ; New YorkPublisher: Mariner BooksPubDate: 2011PhysDes: xix, 491 pages ; 21 cmSubject: DREAMWORKS SKG ; PRODUCERS ; PRODUCTION CENTRES : HOLLYWOOD ; EISNER, MICHAEL ; GEFFEN, DAVID ; KATZENBERG, JEFFREY ; SPIELBERG, STEVEN ; AMERICAN BEAUTY (US, Sam Mendes, 1999) ; AMISTAD (US, Steven Spielberg, 1997) ; PRINCE OF EGYPT, THE (US, Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner & Simon Wells, 1998) ; SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (US, Steven Spielberg, 1998) ; SHREK (US, Kelly Asbury & Andrew Adamson, 2001) Summary: "For sixty years, the lineup of Hollywood's major studios varied little. Then came the Circus Maximus created by director Steven Spielberg, billionaire David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg (who gave the world The Lion King). Nothing in decades had approached the excitement surrounding the empire called DreamWorks, where hype, glory, and investors vying to kick in billions gave way to blowups, battles, and betrayals worthy of THE GODFATHER. Nicole LaPorte reveals for the first time the delicious truths of what happened behind the scenes. Readers will feel they are part of the creative calamities of moviemaking as LaPorte's fly-on-the-wall detail shows us Hollywood's bizarre rules of business. We see clashes between the often otherworldly Spielberg's troops and Katzenberg's warriors, the debacles and disasters, but also the Oscar-winning triumphs, such as SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. We see Geffen seducing investors and watch as the studio burns through billions while its rich owners get richer and everybody else suffers. Here is Hollywood - up close, glamorous, and gritty."
