Sleepless in Hollywood: Tales from the New Abnormal in the Movie Business

Lynda Obst

4.9/5 (19590 ratings)

Description:The veteran producer and author of the bestseller "Hello, He Lied" takes a witty and critical look at the new Hollywood. Over the past decade, producer Lynda Obst gradually realized she was working in a Hollywood that was undergoing a drastic transformation. The industry where everything had once been familiar to her was suddenly disturbingly strange.Combining her own industry experience and interviews with the brightest minds in the business, Obst explains what has stalled the vast moviemaking machine. The calamitous DVD collapse helped usher in what she calls the New Abnormal (because Hollywood was never normal to begin with), where studios are now heavily dependent on foreign markets for profit, a situation which directly impacts the kind of entertainment we get to see. Can comedy survive if they don't get our jokes in Seoul or allow them in China? Why are studios making fewer movies than ever--and why are they bigger, more expensive and nearly always sequels or recycled ideas?Obst writes with affection, regret, humor and hope, and her behind-the-scenes vantage point allows her to explore what has changed in Hollywood like no one else has. This candid, insightful account explains what has happened to the movie business and explores whether it'll ever return to making the movies we love--the classics that make us laugh or cry, or that we just can't stop talking about.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
