Editorial Reviews
From the Author
"I grew up watching "Wild Wild West" and loving it. It was like James Bond in the West with all these cool gadgets and sexy women each week. Now it's really fun for me to put my own spin on the film. With help from Will, Kevin, Kenneth, and Salma, we hope to make it hip, smart, and sexy and the state-of-the-art technology we're using increases the scope of the movie exponentially" -- Barry Sonnenfeld

This review is from: Wild, Wild, West: The Illustrated Story Behind the Film (Newmarket Pictorial Moviebook) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book about the making of WILD WILD WEST. It even includes the script. The critics were not to kind to this film starring Will Smith and Kevin Kline. However, if you have seen the film and examine this book will begin to appreciate what actually went in to the making of this motion picture. Technically there was a lot more than meets the eye or the eye was aware of in the production of this film. Complex special effects, intricate set designs, costumes, makeup and gadgetry were well thought out to have a look and feel of post Civil War America. This book is brilliantly illustrated with photographs and drawings covering every aspect of the move. If you like films and filmmaking you should enjoy this book.
