Download or read book Underexposed written by Josh Hull and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold stories behind the 50 greatest movies never made, illustrated by 50 new and original posters For most films, it’s a long, strange road from concept to screen, and sometimes those roads lead to dead ends. In Underexposed! The 50 Greatest Movies Never Made, screenwriter and filmmaker Joshua Hull guides readers through development hell. With humor and reverence, Hull details the speed bumps and roadblocks that kept these films from ever reaching the silver screen. From the misguided and rejected, like Stanley Kubrick’s Lord of the Rings starring the Beatles; to films that changed hands and pulled a U-turn in development, like Steven Spielberg’s planned Oldboy adaptation starring Will Smith; to would-be masterpieces that might still see the light of day, like Guillermo del Toro’s In the Mountains of Madness, Hull discusses plotlines, rumored casting, and more. To help bring these lost projects to life, 50 artists from around the world, in association with the online art collective PosterSpy, have contributed original posters that accompany each essay and give a glimpse of what might have been.

In 1937, they started out as the Dead End Kids, a group of young hooligans from the slums of New York's East River, appearing in several films for Warner Brothers. A year later, Universal borrowed most of the group and cast them in films and serials, under the names of the Little Tough Guys and the Dead End Kids and the Little Tough Guys. In 1939, the group went to Monogram and became the East Side Kids. Then, in 1946, it happened. The East Side Kids were revamped and The Bowery Boys were born. In time, their films evolved into full comedies, transforming Leo Gorcey (Slip) and Huntz Hall (Sach) into a memorable comedy duo. To celebrate these long-running, popular film groups, "The Bowery Boys, The East Side Kids & The Dead End Kids Movie Poster Art Book" presents poster art--including movie posters, half-sheets, lobby cards, window cards or inserts-- from nearly 50 films starring The Dead End Kids, The Little Tough Guys, The East Side Kids or The Bowery Boys. Poster art is organized by year of release. A revised edition of "The Bowery Boys Movie Poster Book," poster art, in this edition, has been digitally improved for sharper reproductions. This book is intended to be a sample of the poster art used to promote many of the groups' films.
