Download or read book Three Screenplays by Edward Burns written by Edward Burns and published by Hyperion Books. This book was released on 1997 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning filmmaker Edward Burns is hardly an overnight success story. For four years, Burns wrote his own screenplays while he made a meager living working as a production assistant for a television show in New York City. Then on an extremely low budget - and shot mostly in his parents' Long Island home - Burns wrote, produced, directed, and starred in his brilliant first film, The Brothers McMullen, about three Irish-American brothers coping with life and love in the 1990s. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival, and Burn's career took off, bolstered the next year by the instant success of his second romantic comedy, She's the One. Now, to coincide with the release of his biggest film yet, No Looking Back, Burns presents a complete collection of his three screenplays, along with numerous photo stills and an original autobiographical Introduction.

Download or read book 3 Screenplays Ready for a Producer written by and published by Panoply Publications. This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "3 Screenplays Ready For A Producer" is a unique storytelling device that allows the reader to read a typical screenplay and still be entertained by a compelling story. Or, three stories in this case. The first entry, "Finkelstein," is a laugh-a-minute "pre-quel" to the ever popular Frankenstein story. It tells of the rivalry between Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his first cousin, Dr. Herbert Finkelstein. It has a raft of lively characters that maintain a non-stop pace throughout. "Your Face Or Mine" is a new version of the familiar "ringer" theme. A man's humdrum life is turned topsy-turvy when he discovers a millionaire who looks exactly like he does. Taking the millionaire's place is not as difficult as is solving the many unexpected twists and turns that he faces in his new life. "Some Assembly Required" is a farcical comedy that deals with the problems facing a group of the nation's armament makers when government budget cuts force them to conduct their war games with model planes and guns. A "Dr. Strangelove" aura pervades the story which is filled with a raft of off-the-wall characters. This book is delightfully good reading whether you're a film producer looking for a new project or just someone looking for some good reading.
