In Hollywood, not only
do the stars shine brightly, but occasionally a screenwriter rises
to the pantheon of "Celebritydom." The multitalented
Kevin Williamson has become one of Hollywood's white-hot
commodities.
His first feature film, Scream, became a
record-breaking hit in late 1996. This was followed up with
screenplays for the top-grossers I Know What You Did Last Summer
and Scream 2. His coming-of-age television drama series, Dawson's
Creek, continues to win tremendous critical acclaim and big
ratings for the WB network. His involvement with Halloween: H20
and The Faculty ensured top box-office slots for those films as
well. Now, with a second television series, Wasteland, on the way
as well as Scream 3, Williamson continues to expand his hold on
the public's attention.
From Scream to Dawson's Creek to Wasteland
examines the genesis of Williamson's career, from high-school
tragedy and low-budget acting despair to his award winning and
box-office-grabbing rise to become the toast of Hollywood's
creative elite. The book gives a detailed examination of each of
his films and television projects, allowing Hollywood outsiders
and insiders alike a riveting view of the making of a star writer.
