Knopf." 500 Electronic book. 505 0 Back story -- Source material -- Development hell -- Prep -- Casting -- The shoot -- Post. 520 "From the Academy Award-winning actor and best-selling author: his debut novel. The story of the making of a colossal, star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film...and the humble comic book that inspired it. PART ONE of this story takes place in 1947. A troubled soldier, returning from the war, meets his talented five- year-old nephew, leaves an indelible impression, and then disappears for 23 years. Cut to 1970: The nephew, now drawing underground comic books in Oakland, California, reconnects with his uncle and, remembering the comic book he saw when he was five, draws a new version with his uncle as a World War II fighting hero. Cut to the present day: A commercially successful director discovers the 1970 comic book and decides to turn it into a contemporary superhero movie. Cue the cast: We meet the film's extremely difficult male star, his wonderful leading lady, the eccentric writer/director, the producer, the go-fer production assistant, and everyone else on both sides of the camera. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought- provoking, this is a novel not only about the making of a movie, but also about the changes in America and American culture since World War II. Bonus material: Interspersed throughout are the three comic books that are featured in the story - all created by Hanks himself - including the comic book that becomes the official tie-in to this novel's "major motion picture masterpiece.""--|cProvided by publisher. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cKnopf Doubleday Publishing Group|d2023|nAvailable via World Wide Web. 650 0 Superhero films|vFiction. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc.|vFiction. 650 0 Motion pictures|xProduction and direction|zUnited States |vFiction. 651 0 United States|xCivilization|y1945-|vFiction. 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Sikoryak, R.,|eillustrator. 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 856 40 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby|uhttps:// naperville.overdrive.com/media/9236641
