{"product_id":"b0c2hdbgkk","title":"The Director Should've Shot You: Memoirs of the Film Trade","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor Alan Dean Foster is a Grand Master of Media Tie-In Fiction. He has written both original tie-ins and script novelizations since the 1970s, bringing his straightforwardness—a favorite to readers but a nuisance to directors—to his many projects. For Foster, Hollywood is a unique world that has allowed him to chat with Catwoman, ask out Diana Rigg, attend a movie screening with Alice Cooper, and have burgers and milkshakes with John Carpenter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn  The Director Should've Shot You , Foster shares all the colorful stories behind his adaptations of films, TV shows, and video games. He had the honor of working on big-name properties like  Star Trek ,  Terminator , and  The Thing . He served as ghost writer for the novelization of the original  Star Wars  and got to write the sequel—sort of. And in between his work for Hollywood, he managed to become a hugely successful science fiction and fantasy author with series like the Adventures of Pip \u0026amp; Flinx and the Icerigger Trilogy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith humor and wit, Foster retraces his path to Grand Master, with all the successes, disappointments, and lumps he's taken along the way. In the process, he shines a spotlight on the unusual world of studio marketing in Hollywood. The result is a memoir that will have you looking at some of your favorite films in a whole new light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52841611755736,"sku":"YSL73672","price":7.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71CakNP0QWL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793336960","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0c2hdbgkk","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
