"Cast Away began in 1994 when Fox executive Elizabeth Gabler told that Tom Hanks thought there might be a movie in the story of a modern man stranded on a desert island . . . which Tom jokingly called 'Chuck of the Jungle.'" So begins William Broyles, Jr.'s fascinating introduction, written exclusively for this book, about the process and challenges inherent in writing a screenplay that was not, by design, going to have a lot of dialogue in it, and about his collaboration with two extraordinarily gifted artists, actor Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis. Broyle's introduction shows how a movie and its story evolve, shift, and shape while the creators grapple with all manner of internal and external choices: from developing what was Tom Hank's idea into into a story, and building a narrative structure and thematic threads into a screenplay, to researching the details of the specific--and ironic--situation of a FedEx executive stranded on a desert island. Also included in this Newmarket Shooting Script edition is the complete shooting script, a preface to the script by Academy Award--winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Contact), movie stills, and complete cast and crews credits. A decorated Marine veteran, screenwriter William Broyles, Jr. was co-writer of the Apollo 13 screenplay for which he received an Academy Award and Writer's Guild Best Screenplay nomination. He was also co-writer of Entrapment and was the co-creator of the television series China Beach, which won twelve Emmys. He was also founding editor of the award-winning Texas Monthly magazine , editor in chief of California magazine, and editor in chief Newsweek. A gift of Ms. Jane Hofileña.
