This wondrous volume presents Neil Gaiman's screenplay of the film MirrorMask, along with director/artist Dave McKean's storyboards. The unique format (the relevant panel is positioned next to the depicted section of Gaiman's script) creates a smooth, intriguing read that's somewhere between a storybook and a graphic novel. Fans of Gaiman, McKean, and MirrorMask will need no prompting — but everyone interested in film or storytelling should hasten to grab their own copy.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the incomparable imagination and lucid visions of Sandman creator Neil Gaiman and acclaimed artist and director Dave McKean — and the innovative minds at the Jim Henson Company — comes MirrorMask, a breathtaking journey through a strange and magical looking-glass world where anything can happen...and frequently does.

Here is the complete film book of the new high-water mark in family fantasy entertainment. The story of young Helena, daughter of the circus, comes vividly alive as we accompany her on her remarkable mission to a place far beyond wonder; a phantasmagorical quest to rescue a realm from the devouring forces of chaos and shadow in order to win back her stolen "real" life from a runaway interloper from the other side.

Containing the full screenplay and more than 1,700 illustrated storyboards of the major motion picture — as well as movie stills, comments, appreciations, and memories from the authors and filmmakers — this one-of-a-kind volume is destined to become a classic, a keepsake to be cherished by fans of all ages.

For all who believe in the glorious reality of dreams, for everyone who longs to ride their imagination to miraculous places, the door is now open wide. See the world anew through the MirrorMask...and nothing will ever look the same again.

Review:

"[T]he film is endlessly inventive with creativity to burn....[S]ure to charm kids and also intrigue adults with its imagination....MirrorMask...goes places most films never even dream of." The Hollywood Reporter

Synopsis:

This complete script book for the film by the same name contains more than 1,700 original storyboard drawings, two 16-page inserts with scenes from the film, and an inside look at the creation of the movie from email correspondence between Gaiman and McKean.

I received this lovely book for my birthday and had to read it right away. The entire screenplay is here (including some scenes and dialog ultimately cut from the film), all illustrated with Dave McKean's deceptively simple storyboard sketches. There are also some lovely stills from the film, as well as backstage photos.
