Josh Hartnett Definitely Wants to Do This – Bruce Beresford

Bruce Beresford the Academy Award nominated Australian film director, writer, and producer has released an insiders account of the film business – Josh Hartnett Definitely Wants to Do This … True Stories From A Life In the Screen Trade.

What’s it like to be a veteran director up against the machinations of modern day Hollywood, with its self absorbed stars, studio executives who think ‘Singapore’ is a made up country, destitute producers posing as lords of finance the mad, the bad and the downright notorious?

Award winning film maker Bruce Beresford takes us through the highs and lows of the screen trade from high powered dinner tables to obscure backlots, from the centres of power to far flung locations with a cast of characters that includes Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Jeffrey Archer, Steven Seagal, and many others. Delightfully literate and sharply observed, this is a highly entertaining insider’s account of a rarely glimpsed world.
