In Hollywood, not only do the stars shine brightly, but occasionally a screenwriter rises to the pantheon of "Celebritydom." The multitalented Kevin Williamson has become one of Hollywood's white-hot commodities.
His first feature film, Scream, became a record-breaking hit in late 1996. This was followed up with screenplays for the top-grossers I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2. His coming-of-age television drama series, Dawson's Creek, continues to win tremendous critical acclaim and big ratings for the WB network. His involvement with Halloween: H20 and The Faculty ensured top box-office slots for those films as well. Now, with a second television series, Wasteland, on the way as well as Scream 3, Williamson continues to expand his hold on the public's attention.
From Scream to Dawson's Creek to Wasteland examines the genesis of Williamson's career, from high-school tragedy and low-budget acting despair to his award winning and box-office-grabbing rise to become the toast of Hollywood's creative elite. The book gives a detailed examination of each of his films and television projects, allowing Hollywood outsiders and insiders alike a riveting view of the making of a star writer.
