Book Trailer: The Making of Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back

via Hollywood Reporter – There’s a fantastic book coming out about the making of The Empire Strikes Back this October 12.  It looks like historical art and artifacts that were unearthed from the cavernous Lucasfilm libraries will be exposed in all their glory for film makers, fans, and young jedis to enjoy and learn.  What an exciting opportunity to learn of how the beauty of the film came about artistically with all of the unseen financial and logistical constraints that almost thwarted the film’s release.

My Blurb: Looks like another interesting LOOKING film with the beautiful and talented Ellen Page. I’m already hooked on the very interesting and fragmented ways the frame is composed. I do love the movies with settings in rural America. Call me sentimental. You can take the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy, whole bit –whatever. I’m going to watch for this one.
