{"product_id":"book-jq1q","title":"The Director Should've Shot You","description":"Author Alan Dean Foster is a Grand Master of Media Tie-In Fiction. He has written both original tie-ins and script novelizations since the 1970s, bringing his straightforwardness—a favorite to readers but a nuisance to directors—to his many projects. For Foster, Hollywood is a unique world that has allowed him to chat with Catwoman, ask out Diana Rigg, attend a movie screening with Alice Cooper, and have burgers and milkshakes with John Carpenter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Director Should've Shot You\u003c\/i\u003e, Foster shares all the colorful stories behind his adaptations of films, TV shows, and video games. He had the honor of working on big-name properties like \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTerminator\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Thing\u003c\/i\u003e. He served as ghost writer for the novelization of the original \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e and got to write the sequel—sort of. And in between his work for Hollywood, he managed to become a hugely successful science fiction and fantasy author with series like the Adventures of Pip \u0026amp; Flinx and the Icerigger Trilogy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With humor and wit, Foster retraces his path to \"Grand Master,\" with all the successes, disappointments, and lumps he's taken along the way. In the process, he shines a spotlight on the unusual world of studio marketing in Hollywood. The result is a memoir that will have you looking at some of your favorite films in a whole new light.
