Book Presentation:
Drawn from three decades of observation and experience, two of Hollywood's major players present a revelatory and raucous look at the art and business of modern filmmaking, discussing the inevitable "shoot out," which entails standoffs, confrontations, scandals, and dilemmas as writers, directors, producers, stars, and agents push forward their own agendas.
