Synopsis
"In this Newmarket Shooting Script, Stephen King, William Goldman, and Lawrence Kasdan contribute introductions that tell how each one - novelist, screenwriter, screenwriter/director - approached the adaptation of King's novel Dreamcatcher to the film." In addition to the complete shooting script, the book also includes a section showing in a nutshell how the Dreamcatcher story progressed from the imagination of King, through the adaptation by Goldman and Kasdan, and then finally into its realization of film by Kasdan and his crew. Five specific scenes are dissected in detail, juxtaposing the paragraph in the King novel with the corresponding script scenes, and illustrated with storyboards, drawings, movie stills, or shot breakdowns. Commentary from various crew members provides an in-depth look into the filmmaking process.
