JAMES ELLROY:
SUMMARY:A companion book to the Showtime Cable Series of the early 1990s that featured adaptations of short stories by Raymond Chandler, Jim Thompson and Ellroy, among others. The Ellroy tale adapted for the series was Since I Don't Have You. The book contains the original Ellroy short story, as well as the shooting script. Ellroy also supplied the introduction.
PUBLISHER'S TEASER:"'It's a role call of tormented souls confronting their monsters within; it's a picaresque look at Los Angeles back in the forties. It's the world of pulp on celluloid, pure translations that augment the stark power of great short fiction.' — from the preface by James Ellroy
"Steven Soderbergh, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Phil Joanou are among the talented people who have come together to create a new anthology series of half-hour film noir classics for Showtime Networks.
"Fallen Angels is collection of six original short stories from the masters of the hard-boiled mystery/crime genre, along with the complete screen adaptation of each story and black-and-white film noir images and behind-the-scenes photographs taken by some of the world's most renowned photographers. It offers an inside look at how Hollywood's top writers transform this classic material for the screen."
