Hello Las Angelinas!
I'm sorry we left you hanging for a few days. But we're back now, and we're totally excited to meet Nicole LaPorte, the author of the book "The Men Who Would Be King".
We love whistle blowers, and Nicole, a former film reporter for Variety, blows it LOUD toward the meglo-maniacal reign of SKG's DreamWorks Pictures. She examines the downward spiral of their whole operation, and we love her for it.
Publisher Comments:
"...Nicole LaPorte,who covered the company [DreamWorks] for Variety, goes behind the hype to reveal for the first time the delicious truth of what happened...."
"...LaPorte's fly-on-the-wall detail shows us Hollywood's bizarre rules of business. We see the clashes between the often otherworldly Spielberg's troops and Katzenberg's warriors, the debacles and disasters... We watch as the studio burns through billions, its rich owners get richer, and everybody else suffers. We see Geffen seducing investors like Microsoft's Paul Allen, showing his steel against CAA's Michael Ovitz, and staging fireworks during negotiations with Paramount and Disney. Here is Hollywood, up close, glamorous, and gritty."
Yay!
We'll meet her tonight at 8PM:
Book Soup
8818 Sunset Blvd.
West Hollywood CA 90029
