À propos de cet audio

 From the legendary actor and best-selling author: a novel about the making of a star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film...and the humble comic books that inspired it. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, while also capturing the changes in America and American culture since World War II.

"Wild, ambitious and exceptionally enjoyable." —Matt Haig, best-selling author The Midnight Library, The Humans and Reasons to Stay Alive

Part One of this story takes place in 1947. A troubled soldier, returning from the war, meets his talented five-year-old nephew, leaves an indelible impression, and then disappears for twenty-three years.

Cut to 1970: The nephew, now drawing underground comic books in Oakland, California, reconnects with his uncle and, remembering the comic book he saw when he was five, draws a new version with his uncle as a World War II fighting hero.

Cut to the present day: A commercially successful director discovers the 1970 comic book and decides to turn it into a contemporary superhero movie.

Cue the cast: We meet the film’s extremely difficult male star, his wonderful leading lady, the eccentric writer/director, the producer, the gofer production assistant, and everyone else on both sides of the camera.

Bonus material: Interspersed throughout are three comic books that are featured in the story—all created by Tom Hanks himself—including the comic book that becomes the official tie-in to this novel’s "major motion picture masterpiece."

*Includes a downloadable PDF of the comics from the book and a QR code for access to the original screenplay of Knightshade: The Lathe of Firefall 20e siècle Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Historique Célébrité Drôle Superhéros Émouvant

It took me two tries to get into this one, but I'm so glad I did. Tom provides a fantastic performance and I loved the way the story was laid out. Not your traditional work of fiction about Hollywood. The characters are brought to life so you feel like you know them. Definitely add this to your library

Tom Hanks is an author and an actor!

Was about to return it as considered it slow in the beginning. Hearing it for a couple of hours and started visualizing the characters with the help of Tom Hanks powerful narration it was pure joy.

Glad I didn't return it

The way this book goes about explaining the details involved in making a motion picture is perfect - it offers an interesting set of colourful characters that feel very real while also unfolding a narrative that drives home the magic that we have all felt about a great movie in our lives. I really appreciated the time taken to explain the seemingly mundane things like planning food for a revolving door of cast and crew. It took away the mystique of making a movie while somehow also making it even more surreal. By the end I was reminded of a Carl Sagan quote: if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, one must first invent the universe.

An all encompassing work of love.

great story

I enjoyed listening to Tom Hanks read the story. It was a very a very original concept. Sometimes, especially in the first third of the book, the plot became a little confusing. But by the end of the book, I began to wonder if the story were true. I’m taking away the concept of the five year plan defined in the story as … dot dot dot

The five year plans

I will never watch a movie again without thinking of all the work it takes to make a motion picture master piece! The next time the credits scroll down the screen, I will take the time to note and appreciate the role everyone had in the making of the film.

Appreciation for Making a Movie Forever Changed

What a great story and narration by Mr Hanks, though, I could probably listen to him read the yogurt ingredient list.

What can’t Mr Hanks do?

Enjoy the characters and writing style of Tom Hanks. Spins a good yarn. His narration envelopes you into the story and carries you along.

Excellent story & Loved the Audio version

Loved this so much. And listening to it while I painted the house was fantastic. I even cried at the end. I am a big softie though.

Great choice for my first story audible book.
