Making Movie Magic: The Photographs is an new book from Oscar® winner and FSWL supporter John Richardson published by The History Press who previously published the critically acclaimed Some Kind of Hero: The Remarkable Story of the James Bond Films by FSWL contributor Ajay Chowdhury & Matthew Field, and The 007 Diaries by Sir Roger Moore.
In 2019, Oscar-winning special effects supremo
John Richardson released his first book, the bestselling
Making Movie Magic, which chronicled his remarkable career in the film industry. A year later, during a house clear-out as the UK was stuck in a seemingly never-ending lockdown, he unearthed another treasure trove of behind-the-scenes images from the blockbuster films he worked on.
Featuring never-before-seen photos from the Harry Potter films,
eight James Bond films,
The Omen,
A Bridge Too Far,
Superman,
Aliens,
Willow,
Cliffhanger and many others, all reproduced in stunning colour alongside extended captions,
Making Movie Magic: The Photographs is a further celebration of Richardson’s extraordinary body of work over five decades.
The foreword is written by James Bond producers
Michael G. Wilson and
Barbara Broccoli.
