5 out of 5 stars A rare insight into the world of the film sculptor!, 21 Jan 2010
By J. T.REA "Beaker" (UK) (REAL NAME)
Wow what a read!
This book is fascinating on two fronts.
Firstly for the fans of the Star Wars films there is a fascinating insight into Brian's
involvement in Star Wars, A New Hope. The books features some rare behind the
scenes photos and a wealth of information that has never before been revealed.
Secondly for film and industry fans there is vast information and details about the
multitude of films that Brian has worked on ranging from multiple James Bond films to Superman.
Great to see a tribute to the late liz Moore who has been overlooked in recent court cases with regards to
her stellar work on ANH.

that has a very personal feel to it. He gives you insight to his career and
also of his family life. It was facinating to learn of the films he's worked on

I would first like to say this book is not only for fans of the star wars movies!
Anyone who is interested in what goes on behind the scenes in the film industry
will enjoy it, especially those who are interested the art and design side of
things. It's written by a talented British sculptor who gives a really
personal account of his involvement in the making of numerous movies.He tells
funny stories of the goings on during the making of the films and a gives great
insight how much work goes into creating the artwork for the sets and props.
The photo reference is amazing. It shows fantastic artwork produced on the
films. Some of my top 10 favorites films are in there which made it an even
better read! Great book!
