For the first time in its history, Universal Studios has
opened its vaults and is allowing us to view these rare artifacts of
filmmaking. Previously seen only by the stars and technicians, we now have the
opportunity to review the complete original shooting scripts from these classic
motion pictures. Each book also contains the complete story of the making of
the film, many rare behind-the-scenes photos, interviews with the people in
front of and behind the camera, and complete pressbook.
“I shall treasure my copy of the script, and many thanks for your splendid
contribution to its preservation.”
- Franklin Coen (screenplay author, This Island Earth)
“I’ve been seeing Univrsal pictures since 1923. The Universal Filmscripts
Series is unique, and a highly prized portion of my collection of 40,000
books.”
- Forrest J Ackerman
“As they say in the Coming Attractions -- ‘Don’t Miss It’ ”
- Robert Bloch
“The Ackerman Archives provide another treasure for posterity.”
- Ray Bradbury
