The Davinci Code Illustrated Screenplay

By Jack N. Rakove

Book Overview

NSC 68 and the Political Economy of the Early Cold War re-examines the origins and implementation of NSC 68, the massive rearmament program that the United States embarked upon beginning in the summer of 1950. Curt Cardwell reinterprets the origins of NSC 68 to demonstrate that the aim of the program was less about containing communism than ensuring the survival of the nascent postwar global economy, upon which rested postwar U.S. prosperity. The book challenges most studies on NSC 68 as a document of geostrategy and argues instead that it is more correctly understood as a document rooted in concerns for the U.S. domestic political economy.

A great behind the scenes companion to the movie

Always have wanted to try to write a screenplay for one of my many favorite books - This book shows us that writing a screenplay is harder than it looks, getting the right information out without over-writing. The photos and storyboard are outstanding - taking you through the process of visualizing the characters and events. This is an excellent addition to all who loved the book, and now see its journey onto the big screen...

IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS THE BOOK......

Da Vinci Code aficionados and movie buffs will find a must-have with this lavishly illustrated volume commemorating the making of the film. First off, it's a generous size, 8 ½ by 10 ½" so the 275 images are quite compelling. It's also interesting to note in Dan Brown's foreword how an author might feel about having his or her book made into a movie: "...a bit like sending a child off to boarding school in a foreign...

Really good book!!!

I bought it yesterday. It is an amazing book. Really good. With some beautiful pictures and drawing in it. If you love the movie - it is worth to buy it. It has a foreword of Dan Brown and Ron Howard.
