Everyone around him is an actor. He is a prisoner in a made-for-TV paradise. This is the story of his escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRarely has a first-time collaboration between a writer and director produced such a stunning result. In this book, both Niccol and Weir's lively talents and creative force come to light, as each contributes some highly original material to amplify the brilliant107-page shooting script, reproduced here in facsimile. Niccol has given us another version of \u003cem\u003eThe Truman Show\u003c\/em\u003e, in photos and captions--in effect, our very own photo album. For his contribution, Peter Weir chose to let us in on the intricately detailed, often hilarious \"backstory,\" which he wrote as part of his preparation, and eventually shared with the cast and crew during production. Also included are complete cast and crew credits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNiccol, Andrew:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eAndrew Niccol, a New Zealander, wrote\u003cem\u003eThe Truman Show\u003c\/em\u003e before turning his hand todirecting. \u003cem\u003eGattaca\u003c\/em\u003e, also an original screenplayby Niccol, was his feature film directingdebut--a science fiction drama about geneticdiscrimination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcademy Award\u003csup\u003e(R)\u003c\/sup\u003e nominee Peter Weir previouslydirected \u003cem\u003eWitness\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDead Poet's Society\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePicnic at Hanging Rock\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGallipoli\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Year ofLiving Dangerously\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Mosquito Coast\u003c\/em\u003e, and\u003cem\u003eFearless\u003c\/em\u003e.
