George Lucas spent nearly ten years bringing his dream project to life: a ground-breaking space fantasy movie. It would be a swashbuckling sci-fi saga inspired by vintage Flash Gordon serials, classic American westerns, and mythological heroes. Its original title: The Star Wars. The rest is history. Yet its production is a story as entertaining and exciting as the film itself. Now, recounted in the words of those who were there, it is finally being told, for the first time.During the years 1975 to 1978, over fifty interviews were conducted with key members of the cast and crew. Remarkably these interviews have sat, undisturbed, in the Lucasfilm Archives for three decades. Until now.The interviews are fresh, candid and above all more accurate than many other reported accounts. George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, composer John Williams, legendary production designer John Barry, and a host of others share their fascinating tales of overcoming obstacles storms, crises, technical limitations, high stress and bitter disappointment while displaying real ingenuity, heroism and creativity.Using his unprecedented access to the Lucasfilm Archives and this trove of never-before-published lost interviews, photographs, production notes, factoids and anecdotes, J. W. Rinzler hurtles readers back in time for a definitive look at the making of Star Wars. For the first time, its all here:* The evolution of the now-classic story and characters including Annikin Starkiller and a huge green-skinned monster with no nose and large gills named Han Solo* Excerpts from George Lucass numerous, ever-morphing script drafts* The birth of Industrial Light & Magic, the special-effects company that revolutionised Hollywood film-making* The studio-hopping and budget battles that nearly derailed the entire project* The directors early casting saga* The gruelling, nearly catastrophic location shoot in Tunisia and the following breakneck dash to Elstree Studios in LondonLavishly illustrated with hundreds of images spanning the creation of the film, The Making of Star Wars is a piece of cinema history. It is the true story of human endeavour and creativity that led to the production of one of the most outstanding and innovative movies of all time.

Consumed by bitterness and anger, he quit his job at the mill and fled. Now, news of his mother''s terminal illness brings Robert home. What he finds on his return stokes the slow burning rage he carries within him, a fury that ultimately consumes both the McEvoys and the Greggs.This taut, riveting drama was Cormac McCarthy''s first written screenplay.

The ultimate guide to the man behind the mask . . . and the mythology behind the man. Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot. So my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. I must be a creature of the night, black, terrible. . . . I shall become a bat! So declared millionaire industrialist Bruce Wayne, orphaned as a boy by a murderous thug and driven as a man to battle the scourge of crime by becoming Batman. Batman swooped into popular culture in 1939and for nearly seventy years has thrilled audiences in countless comics, live-action and animated television programs, and seven feature films. Prowling the darkened rooftops of Gotham City, roaring through the teeming streets in the sleek, high-powered Batmobile, and leaping into action when the iconic Bat-Signal pierces the night sky, the Caped Crusader is a larger-than-life legend.

Las películas de Hollywood terminaban siempre con una expresión: The end (Fin). Fueron, de hecho, las dos primeras palabras en inglés que muchos españoles aprendimos gracias al cine. En los poblados mineros, donde la realidad recordaba al ambiente de las peliculas del Oeste que tanto se proyectaron en la segunda mitad del pasado siglo, la expresion The end paso al imaginario popular con el halo epico y crepuscular de aquellas peliculas que contaban historias no tan lejanas a las de los mineros españoles.Este trabajo fotografico emana de ese aroma cinematografico, de derrota de una ensoñacion, que el fin de la mineria ha dejado en los pueblos mineros y en las personas que los habitaron o que continuan viviendo en ellos. Una historia de 150 años ha terminado y lo que queda son las imagenes de una pelicula que se va convirtiendo poco a poco en ruina y en memoria.Mi propuesta fotografica, que he llevado a cabo a lo largo de un año a raiz del cierre el 28 de diciembre de 2018 de la mina La Escondida, en Leon, la ultima que quedaba abierta en esa provincia, se centra en los territorios mineros de Leon y de Palencia, dos de los mas afectados por el final de la mineria, pues esta era practicamente un monocultivo en ellos. Acompañan a las fotografias textosde varios autores que a lo largo de la historia han escrito sobre la mina y los mineros, y testimonios de prensa y de algunos de los fotografiados. Como escribio uno de esos autores, el paisaje es memoria, y la memoria de la mineria que durante siglo y medio dio vida a esos territorios sigue latiendo en esos lugares y es nuestro deber preservarla, cada uno desde su posicion.
