Josh Hartnett Definitely Wants To do This... True Stories From A Life In The Screen Trade.

by Bruce Beresford.

A wickedly funny account of celebrity, Hollywood and everything in between.

What's it like to be a veteran director up against the machinations of modern–day Hollywood, with its self–absorbed stars, studio executives who think 'Singapore' is a made–up country, destitute producers posing as lords of finance –– the mad, the bad and the downright notorious?

Award–winning film–maker Bruce Beresford takes us through the highs and lows of the screen trade –– from high–powered dinner tables to obscure backlots, from the centres of power to far–flung locations –– with a cast of characters that includes Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Jeffrey Archer, Steven Seagal, and many others. Delightfully literate and sharply observed, this is a highly entertaining insider's account of a rarely glimpsed world.

Bruce Beresford has made some of Australia's best known and most interesting films, including Breaker Morant, Puberty Blues and The Adventures of Barry Mackenzie, and has had international success with Black Robe, Double Jeopardy and Driving Miss Daisy, which won an Academy Award. He lives in Sydney. This is his first book.

I get a bad feeling about this. I think Josh might be in line for some abuse. The reason... taken from this ninemsn.com article;

In the meantime, Josh Hartnett remains, Beresford hears from the producer, enthusiastic about doing his film about Chet Baker. But only if Beresford doesn’t direct.
