 SUNSHINE: THE SCREENPLAY
Don't be fooled. When I open the UPS BOX I thought I just bought the movie-tie-in book. But for a shocker, this is the FULL SCREENPLAY of SUNSHINE. Alex's screenplay is so much better then what got into the full version of the film. Like the opening intro it had more to it. Pinbreaker was talking instead of Frank Capa. This is a wonderful piece of literature that should be taken seriously.
This book also contains a couple of pages of storyboards and concept drawings that made it into the film version. I strongly suggest that you also pick up the film, rent it or buy it. Some of you might not like it, others you will love it to its fullest.
"What do you see!"
 Another solid effort
I am a big fan of Alex Garland. I loved 'The Beach' and especially his second book, 'The Tesseract'. After that, he sort of wandered off the reservation a bit with 'The Coma'. Nowadays, he seems more interested in writing screenplays than novels. I guess that's due to his association with director Danny Boyle, who directed the excellent '28 Days Later' and now his new story, 'Sunshine'. As for this screenplay, it's very good but I think I would have enjoyed it more in novel form. He's such a gifted writer, it's a shame he wants to strip his stories down to their essence in screenplay form rather than fleshing them out as a full-fledged novel. I suppose he is thinking more visually these days, and certainly a picture is worth a thousand words... but the beauty of a novel is that it forces the author to paint a picture with only words, and it forces the reader to see that picture using only his imagination. These screenplay stories are good but leave me wanting more. Anyway, if you like this author, by all means check out this book.
