¿Quién nos iba a decir hace 15 años que el Episodio III de Star Wars no iba a ser la última película de la Saga? Porque, os recuerdo que George Lucas dijo que se acabó, que no había más historia que contar. Si acaso alguna serie de animacion mas y, a lo

El cine al aire libre es una de esas actividades con la que es fácil cruzarse todos los veranos en algún pueblo, e incluso en grandes urbes. Las frescas noches de verano son la excusa perfecta para el cine a la luz de la luna. ¿De donde surge esta aficion por poner una pantalla en medio de una plaza y compartir la experiencia con amigos y vecinos? ¿Como se articula una proyeccion de cine de verano? ¿Cuales son los problemas a los que se enfrenta un equipo profesional de cine ambulante? En este libro, parcialmente autobiografico, trato de dar respuesta a todas estas cuestiones contando una historia del cine hasta hoy desconocida.

Edición Coleccionista. Surgido de la mente de S.S. Wilson, en 1990 se estrenaba un simpatiquísimo largometraje donde unas bestias subterráneas engullían todo lo que se movía. En un primer momento no fue ningun exito de taquilla, pero con el paso del tiempo y el empujon del video domestico, Temblores se convirtio en un clasico del cine de aventuras y ciencia ficcion, sin olvidar cierto aroma al western.Tal fue la acogida en los estantes de los videoclubs que la saga continuo de manera exclusiva en ese ecosistema. Y aunque los niveles de produccion obviamente descendieron, se mantuvo el espiritu original: peliculas divertidas con monstruos antropofagos y personajes adorables.Ahora, una saga con mas de treinta años, con siete peliculas y una serie de television, se ve reflejada en un libro escrito por Octavio Lopez Sanjuan que cuenta con entrevistas a los directores y maximos representantes de la franquicia. Asi, Ron Underwood, Brent Maddock, S.S. Wilson, Vincenzo Natali, Jack Sholder y Don Michael Paul, entre otros, desgranan para este volumen de la coleccion Noche de lobos de Applehead Team los recovecos de cada una de sus respectivas producciones.Pero aun hay mas. Lo que convierte a este libro en algo todavia mas especial es que esta narrado desde el punto de vista de Michael Gross actor esencial y alma de la saga. Asi, con todo lujo de detalles, Gross cuenta su increible aventura cinematografica de mas de tres decadas que le llevo alrededor de todo el mundo para cazar a estas hambrientas criaturas. ¡Os va encantar descubrir la historia de Temblores de boca del mismisimo Burt Gummer! Pero cuidado, no hagais mucho ruido Los graboides sienten las vibraciones
