Publisher's Synopsis
"Why am I doing this?" Al Pacino wondered a year into his personal movie about his obsession with Salome, Oscar Wilde's lyrical play, written in 1891. "No one saw Looking for Richard, who's going to want to see something about Oscar Wilde?" In "I Want You in My Movie!" Grobel found the answer to that question and more when he joined the crew and followed the creative process of filmmaking from inception to completion. His meticulous journal is as close to being there as a reader can ever hope to get. This intimate peek behind the curtain, documenting the hopes, dreams, frustrations and complexities of Pacino and all the people who come in and out of his life, is a fitting sequel to Grobel's internationally acclaimed AL PACINO in Conversation with Lawrence Grobel, which was named the Best International Book of the Year by the Society of French Film Critics. "I Want You in My Movie!" takes you deeper into the mind and process of Al Pacino. Including exclusive photos Grobel took on the set and behind the scenes, it's a movie buff's delight, warts and all.
