Скачать или смотреть Screenwriter PAUL ATTANASIO: Tricks of the Trade

A self-described "poet of pain," Paul Attanasio has forged a highly respected career as a master of challenging film adaptations. His nuanced and gripping screenplays for "Quiz Show" and "Donnie Brasco" earned him Oscar nominations, and he brought sexy, character-driven life to the Michael Crichton page-turner, "Disclosure". The Bronx-born writer created the acclaimed Peabody Award-winning television show "Homicide: Life on the Street", and he serves as executive producer of the popular medical drama, "House, M.D." Also a frequently hired script doctor, Attanasio most recently adapted the post-World War II novel "The Good German" for director Steven Soderbergh. In this intense dialogue, Attanasio describes how he went from lambasting movies as a "snotty" Washington Post film critic to developing explosive and rewarding creative partnerships with Oscar-winning directors Robert Redford, Barry Levinson, and Soderbergh.
