  • Good Book for Writing Action Movies?

    Anyone know if such a thing exists? I'm hoping MI3 gives the genre a much needed shot in the arm...

    The best is by DD's own Bill Martell: The Secrets of Action Screenwriting.

          Neil Hick's has a book on Action Adventure screenwriting. I haven't read it but if it is as good as his book on thrillers it would be worth the price.

            I have that book. It's not a "how to" by any means at all. It's more of a nice retrospective on how the heroes in those movies evolved over the years, as a reflection of the times. Very interesting, but I wouldn't want to rely on it for script advice.
