Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2008. Advanced Reading Copy. Softcover. Like New. An Advance Reading Copy. A thrillingly written look inside the crash-bang world of the professional stuntmanâthe first reported book to venture into this wild corner of the movie business.In The Full Burn, bestselling author and acclaimed journalist Kevin Conley takes readers inside one of the most fascinating and dangerous jobs in the world. With bravura storytelling and full access to many of the legends of the field (including Uma Thurmanâs double for Kill Bill and the genius behind the Jason Bourne movies, among many others), Conley gives a passengerâs-seat view of the stuntmanâs life: the history, the culture, and the tricks of the trade, showing howâand whyâstuntmen do what they do.Whatâs the greatest stunt ever performed? Why is the divorce rate among stuntmen so high? Whatâs it like to go to work not knowing whether youâll come back? Whatâs it like for your wife? Whatâs the scariest trick a stuntman does? Conley delivers the answers in the form of vivid tales from his subjectsâ livesâand, in trying to answer the last question, one from his own, when he subjects himself to the rite of passage known as the âfull burn.â Funny, gripping, and packed with amazing stories, this is an irresistible book for anyone who loves the movies.
