The first full-length study of the authorial and cross-media practices of the English novelist Elinor Glyn (1864-1943), 'Elinor Glyn as Novelist, Moviemaker, Glamour Icon and Businesswoman' examines Glyn's work as a novelist in the United Kingdom followed by her success in Hollywood where she adapted her successful romantic novels into films. Making extensive use of newly available archival materials, Vincent L. Barnett and Alexis Weedon explore Glyn's experiences from multiple perspectives, including the artistic, legal and financial aspects of the adaptation process. At the same time, they document Glyn's personal and professional relationships with a number of prominent individuals in the Hollywood studio system, including Louis B. Mayer and Irving Thalberg. The authors contextualize Glyn's involvement in scenario-writing in relationship to other novelists in Hollywood, such as Edgar Wallace and Arnold Bennett, and also show how Glyn worked across Europe and America to transform her stories into other forms of media such as plays and radio dramas. Providing a new perspective from which to understand the historical development of both British and American media industries in the first half of the twentieth century, this book will appeal to historians working in the fields of cultural and film studies, publishing and business history.

"Critical wisdom has it that we said a long goodbye to film noir in the 1950s. Robert Miklitsch begs to differ. Pursuing leads down the back streets and alleyways of cultural history, The Red and the Black proposes that the received rise-and-fall narrative about the genre radically undervalues the formal and thematic complexity of '50s noir and the dynamic segue it effected between the spectacular expressionism of '40s noir and early, modernist neo-noir. Mixing scholarship with a fan's devotion to the crooked roads of critique, Miklitsch autopsies marquee films like D.O.A., Niagara, and Kiss Me Deadly plus a number of lesser-known classics. Throughout, he addresses the social and technological factors that dealt deuce after deuce to the genre--its celebrated style threatened by new media and technologies such as TV and 3-D, color and widescreen, its born losers replaced like zombies by All-American heroes, the nation rocked by the red menace and nightmares of nuclear annihilation. But against all odds, the author argues, inventive filmmakers continued to make formally daring and socially compelling pictures that remain surprisingly, startlingly alive. Cutting-edge and entertaining, The Red and the Black reconsiders a lost period in the history of American movies"--

This major new study offers a broad historical and theoretical reassessment of the science fiction film genre. The book explores the development of science fiction in cinema from its beginnings in early film through to recent examples of the genre. Each chapter sets analyses of chosen films within a wider historical/cultural context, while concentrating on a specific thematic issue. The book therefore presents vital and unique perspectives in its approach to the genre, which include discussion of the relevance of psychedelic imagery, the 'new woman of science', generic performance and the prevalence of 'techno-orientalism' in recent films. While American films will be one of the principle areas covered, the author also engages with a range of pertinent examples from other nations, as well as discussing the centrality of science fiction as a transnational film genre. Films discussed include The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Body Snatchers, Forbidden Planet, The Quatermass Experiment, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Demon Seed, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Wars, Altered States, Alien, Blade Runner, The Brother from Another Planet, Back to the Future, The Terminator, Predator, The One, Dark City, The Matrix, Fifth Element and eXistenZ. Key Features *Thematically organised for use as a course text. *Introduces current and past theories and practices, and provides an overview of the main themes, approaches and areas of study. *Covers new and burgeoning approaches such as generic performance and aspects of postmodern identity. *Includes new interviews with some of the main practitioners in the field: Roland Emmerich, Paul Verhoeven, Ken Russell, Stan Winston, William Gibson, Brian Aldiss, Joe Morton, Dean Norris and Billy Gray.

De filmjournalistiek is morsdood. Oppervlakkigheid en willekeur hebben een meer ernstige en gefundeerde kijk op cinema weggevaagd. En dus is een boek dat dieper graaft naar de verborgen structuur en betekenis van narratieve films opportuun. We nemen de cinefiel, de filmstudent, de scenarist en al wie meer wil weten over de opbouw van een mooi filmverhaal mee op een unieke speurtocht. Die tocht wordt almaar complexer en onthullender. De kunstenaars wiens werken we tijdens deze cinefiele gold rush trachten te doorgronden zijn de allerbeste verhalenvertellers: David Lean, David Mamet, Alfonso Cuarón, Tony Gilroy, Christopher Nolan, David Lynch en andere grote filmmakers. We beginnen met films met een zeer lineaire en mathematische structuur ( ‘Jaws’, ‘The Untouchables’) en evolueren naar narratief complexere werken met een nonlineaire structuur (‘Mullholland Dr.’,‘Memento’).
