The only thing moviegoers love more than car crashes and explosions is watching a high-profile film go up in flames. Every season brings a number of financial disappointments, but it takes extraordinary circumstances for a screen project to become a truly iconic disaster like Ishtar or Waterworld. In the highly entertaining Fiasco, James Robert Parish goes behind the scenes to tell the in-depth backstory of the 15 top flops in Hollywood movie history, from Cleopatra and The Cotton Club to Battlefield Earth, Showgirls, and The Postman. Parish delivers all the gossip, the grosses, and the egregious ego battles behind each of these classic benchmark big-screen disasters.
"Not only instructive, but intensely pleasurable." -Wall Street Journal "A gleefully readable, well-researched study of hubris in Hollywood." -Publishers Weekly "A smart, well-researched account of Hollywood's 'iconic flops.' " -Peter Bart, Variety "Writing with informative dispassion, Parish avoids the easy temptation to turn his book into bitchy gossip. He even has you cheering for those who narrowly elude impending doom." -Washington Post Book World In Fiasco, longtime industry insider and acclaimed Hollywood historian James Robert Parish goes behind the scenes to tell the intriguing stories of 15 of the most spectacular movie megaflops of the past 50 years, including Cleopatra, Popeye, The Cotton Club, Shanghai Surprise, Last Action Hero, and Waterworld. He recounts, in every gory detail, how enormous hubris, unbridled ambition, artistic hauteur, and bad business sense on the parts of Tinsel Town wheeler-dealers and superstars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Clint Eastwood, Francis Ford Coppola, Madonna, and Warren Beatty conspired to engender some of the worst films ever.
