  One of Hollywood's biggest players for almost 50 years, Darryl F. Zanuck presided over Twentieth Century-Fox during the studio' s most glorious era— with stars like Marilyn Monroe and Henry Fonda, directors like John Ford and Elia Kazan, and classics like How Green Was My Valley, Gentleman' s Agreement, and All about Eve. Drawing on Zanuck's own correspondence, author Rudy Behlmer presents a from-the-top look at the elements that went into making a feature film during the heyday of the Hollywood studio system. Full of secrets and surprises, this treasure trove of legend and lore— read by Zanuck' s son, Oscar-winning producer Richard D. Zanuck— is as entertaining as it is informative.

  In this landmark collection, William T. Vollmann offers a kaleidoscopic retrospective of the visual artwork he has produced over four decades, with new commentary from Vollmann on his process, inspiration, and the many intersections with his writing. 
   
   
   
  The celebrated author of over twenty-five books (among them the National Book Award–winning novel Europe Central; the seven-volume Rising Up and Rising Down, based on Vollmann's career as a war correspondent; and the two-volume climate change investigation Carbon Ideologies), Vollmann's equally ambitious and prolific career as a photographer, printmaker, and painter reflects the artist’s deep interest in people existing on the margins, a profound empathy for his subjects, and the humility and generosity to meet them on their terms. 
   
   
   
  In Shadows of Love, Shadows of Loneliness, a series of essays  commissioned especially for this book lays out Vollmann's views on what photographs can and should say, how he chooses what to represent (beauty, suffering, compassion, love, desire, ideology), thoughts on photographic consensuality, and any number of technical descriptions. Particularly useful for Vollmann fans and scholars are the cross-references between these artistic and photographic projects and his books.

  Batman Begins (2005) is a dark, gritty reboot of the Batman franchise, directed by Christopher Nolan.

  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Christian Bale performed many of his own stunts but was not allowed near the Batmobile.” 
    
  “Christian Bale’s discomfort with his Batman outfit contributed to his portrayal of the Dark Knight, as he was often in a bad mood when wearing it.” 
    
  “Director Christopher Nolan personally oversaw every shot during the entire 129-day shoot, as he decided not to use a second unit.” 
    
  “Much of Batman’s gear, including his cape and suit, is inspired by real-life military technology.” 
    
  “Christian Bale lost his voice three times during filming due to the vocal strain of portraying Batman.”
