Aviator A Screenplay

The Epic Screenplay by the Writer of Gladiator and the Last Samurai Millionaire, Mogul, Madman, Genius: Howard Hughes was One of the Most Enigmatic and Charismatic Americans of the Twentieth Century. Published to Coincide with the Miramax Films Release Directed by Martin Scorsese-Starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Jude Law, Cate Blanchette, Kate Beckinsale and Gwen Stefani in her Film Debut-the Companion Screenplay by John Logan Where others saw obstacles, Hughes saw opportunity. A daredevil, he risked his fortune, and life, on experimental airplanes that set new records in speed and size. Hughes needed only his small-minded rivals, with their limited imaginations, telling him what was impossible, to climb into the cockpit and prove them wrong. He was also a playboy, linked romantically to the brightest starlets of his time-Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner-but happiness was more elusive than actresses. Hughes was tortured by a secret that tore him from those who loved him (his planes were the only constant romance in his life). He was haunted by an affliction he fought desperately to conceal. The Aviator ranges from the halls of Congress to the tony estates of Connecticut to the glamorous studios of Hollywood. Here, plot and poetry blend in one of the most beautifully written biopics in modern cinema.Logan, John is the author of 'Aviator A Screenplay', published 2004 under ISBN 9781401359706 and ISBN 1401359701.
