Jane,Austen;,screenplay;,cinema;,filmmaking;,screenwriting;,literature;,19th,century,England Jane Austen,screenplay,cinema,filmmaking,screenwriting,literature,19th century England Back in print for Jane Austen and film book fans, featuring Emma Thompson's Oscar®-winning shooting script and her "fascinating journal of making the film." —Jack Kroll, Newsweek. The landmark film, nominated for seven Academy Awards®, appearing on more than 100 top-ten lists across America, and grossing more than $125 million worldwide—remains as vibrant and true to Jane Austen as anyone could have imagined. Here is the complete, award-winning script, over 50 photos, the complete credits, and Thompson's unreserved, often hilarious diaries from the earliest meetings in January 1995 to the wrap party in July, detailing the everyday triumphs and setbacks of what it's like to work with a cast and crew of 120, offering a candid self-portrait as well as insightful glimpses of fellow actors Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, and acclaimed director Ang Lee. 50 b/w photos.

Author Biography: Emma Thompson won her second Academy Award® for her screenplay of Sense and Sensibility; she also won the Academy Award® for Best Actress for Howards End. Sense and Sensibility was her first screenplay; this is her only book. She lives in England. Lindsay Doran previously produced Dead Again and Leaving Normal. She lives in Los Angeles.

Academy Award-winning actress Emma Thompson now adds screenwriting and author to her autobiography. In this, her first book, she brings together her shooting script of the film in which she stars and her personal diaries of the filmmaking experience. Her book offers a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of the most talented women of our time. Photos.
