Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"This is one of those rare screenplays that the actors felt no need to tamper with. The dialogue is full of invention but never straining for effect." — Ian McKellen

This critically acclaimed film was chosen by Entertainment Weekly, Premiere, Rolling Stone, USA Today, the Washington Post, and more than 100 other newspapers and magazines as one of the Ten Best Films of 1998. Based on the novel Father of Frankenstein by Christopher Bram, the film, written and directed by Bill Condon, garnered major prizes for Condon, Lynn Redgrave, and Ian McKellen.

In the acclaimed Newmarket Shooting Script series, this volume includes a facsimile of the script, a foreword by Clive Barker about his talks with Condon on how to bring cinematic life to James Whale's story, an introduction by Ian McKellen, and complete cast and crew credits. Also included is a portfolio of photographs chosen especially by Condon for this book.

Review:

"Bill Condon has made a deeply touching, elegant, and inventive biographical fantasy....His script is a tidy juggernaut of conversation — intense, chess-game conversation full of believable fits and starts. How he shaped it so well is a sweet mystery of life." Entertainment Weekly

Synopsis:

Now published as a book for the first time, the complete Oscar®-winning script (Best Adapted Screenplay) for the film starring Ian McKellen, Brendan Fraser, and Lynn Redgrave — in the Newmarket Shooting Script series format, with new introductions written especially for this edition.
