Killer Instinct: How Two Young Producers Took on Hollywood and Made the Most Controversial Film of the Decade by Jane Hamsher
Requirements: .PDF reader, 13.3 MB, Digitized
Overview: A shockingly candid, hilarious account of how two young producers broke into the Hollywood studio system — and survived the shark-eat-shark insanity to become Hollywood players.

When aspiring producer Jane Hamsher and her madman partner Don Murphy stumbled upon a script for a film written by a geeky filmmaker-wannabe named Quentin Tarantino, called Natural Born Killers, they instantly liked it, so much they optioned it for the bargain price of $10,000. But, suddenly, after the breakout success of Reservoir Dogs turned Tarantino into an overnight sensation, he and every major studio in town decided they wanted control of the script, pitting Jane and Don up against some of the meanest, toughest, most egotistical players in Hollywood.

This was only the beginning of their two-year roller-coaster ride through the ruthless world of studio pitbulls, idiotic film crew leeches, and unprecedented butt-kissing and back-stabbing.

From the script meetings to the movie set to the marketing and distribution process, Killer Instinct takes you behind the scenes and provides an insider’s look at the “New Hollywood” — told by one who learned how to survive it the hard way. It exposes how deals are really struck and stars are picked, and how the balance of power in Hollywood now favors the Quentin Tarantinos of the world who can add the “indie” cachet to big-budget monsters. Fresh, witty, and irreverent, Killer Instinct provides an unprecedented look inside this wild and irresistible industry.
