Résumé
The authoritative biography of the twentieth century's most influential science fiction filmmaker!George Pal: Man of Tomorrow chronicles the life and films of the trailblazing producer/director/ animator who fathered modern science fiction cinema. George Pal's classics like Destination Moon, When Worlds Collide, The War of the Worlds, and The Time Machine were a quantum leap forward for the genre's quality, intelligence, and special effects wizardry.
When few people in Hollywood-or elsewhere-- took science fiction seriously, Pal steadfastly stood by it, paving the way for SF's enormous future popularity and inspiring generations of filmmakers. Pal's beloved The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm and 7 Faces of Dr. Lao elevated cinematic fantasy to new heights. Written and researched with the full cooperation of the George Pal Estate, Justin Humphreys' George Pal: Man of Tomorrow involved twenty years of exhaustive research in international archives and private collections, including unprecedented access to the Pal family's archive.
This definitive, profusely illustrated biography of this visionary movie futurist includes new interviews with over sixty of Pal's coworkers, family members, and admirers in the film industry, dozens of rare photographs, and gorgeous cover art by renowned science fiction illustrator/historian Vincent Di Fate. About the Author: Justin Humphreys is a writer, film historian, and curator. His other works include the Rondo Award-winning The Dr.
Phibes Companion. George Pal: Man of Tomorrow is his fourth book. Praise for Justin Humphreys:"Justin Humphreys is simply as good as film historians get. He's got brains, heart, range and nuance each in great supply and uses his powers without prejudice: to remind the world of what and who is truly worthwhile in film. Whether reading him or speaking with him, I'm always challenged and strengthened by his point of view."-Sam Wasson, New York Times bestselling author of Fosse and The Big Goodbye.
