A Killer Life: How an Independent Film Producer Survives Deals and Disasters in Hollywood and Beyond (Limelight) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As an aspiring producer, I have long looked up to the indie queen Christine Vachon, and I was interested to read this book after having read her excellent SHOOTING TO KILL.I read that book when I was back in college, but this book is better.It's definitely more personal - in a way it reads like a memoir.

You feel like you are going through all the trials and tribulations with her.There's a lot of exciting stuff here - she battles the MPAA over Boys Don't Cry -- the bond company takes control of Far From Heaven-- shehas interactions with big stars like Jude Law and Julia Roberts.
I have never been to Sundance, but Vachon's Sundance diary takes you through that festival with her.

All this makes for a book that's immensely readable; I couldn't put it down.I really liked the spotlights from other industry figures, agents, studio heads and directors like John Cameron Mitchell (who did my favorite film, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH!)If you are in the industry, want to learn about the industry or are just plain curious about how movies get made, go out and get this book now!
