Description
Brainstorm: A Film in Evolution The 1983 film Brainstorm has become an enduring concept, inspiring viewers to imagine possibilities for the future. Its troubled production and subsequent commercial indifference have made it seem like a fixed piece of film history - yet its ideas continue to evolve. This book provides context for understanding the film's development, beginning with a brief history of science fiction cinema. It then delves into multiple drafts of the Brainstorm screenplay by three different screenwriters: Bruce Joel Rubin, Philip F. Messina, and Robert Stitzel. The book also examines the production history of the film, including the tragic death of star Natalie Wood, and its influence on future storytellers like James Cameron. By exploring the evolution of Brainstorm, this book offers a unique insight into the film's "ultimate experience." It is an opportunity to appreciate the ambitions of sci-fi cinema going back to the 1950s, as well as the turbulent culture of the western world in the 1960s and 1970s.
