Popcorn (1996)


1. Drama
2. Liebe

From the backnote of the book.... Death imitates artBruce Delamitri makes movies about killers. Great movies, stylish movies. Not the usual low rent,low brow, slash, shoot and screw garbage that recoups its\' budget with a blood and boobs video sleeve. Bruce\'s movies are hip. Post-modern cinematic milestones, dripping with ironic juxtaposition. His killers are style icons. They walk cool, they talk cool. Getting shot by one of them would be a fashion statement.
Wayne and Scout actually are killers. Real ones. Low rent, low brow, morality-free zones. Appalling, sad, unbalanced maniacs who kill people they do not know.
One night, one Oscar-winning night, when Bruce has the world at his feet, Wayne and Scout hijack his life. They have decided that it is time Bruce faced up to his responsibilities. Fact confronts fiction in the heart of Beverley Hills and a terrible siege begins.
Bruce thought his oscar-winning movie was a drama: it was a documentary. Popcorn is a taut and darkly funny page-turner of a novel. In a society addicted to murder, is there such a thing as a responsible person?
The book has won praise from the likes of Mary Whitehouse for his attack on sex and violence in the movies. Ben Elton has said \"I don\'t think balanced people can be driven to be any different from what they are ... The suggestion is that those who are open to anti-social behaviour may be seduced into believing it is the norm ... I feel slightly exposed here because I am putting a point I don\'t entirely believe.\" (The Daily Telegraph, July 29th 1996)
Originally written as a play, the book is available now, on hardback for £12.99 from Simon and Schuster. The ISBN number is 0-684-81612-1, and is also available as an audiobook. It has also been adapted as a stage play, and a Hollywood movie version is in the pre-production stages, adapted by Ben Elton and directed by Joel Schumacher (director of Flatliners and Batman Forever). The paperback version is out in May.
