Darren Aronofsky, Oscar–nominated director of Black Swan – :
Vogler’s The Writer’s Journey is the Bible for screenwriters. I think it’s the best book on how to write a screenplay ever written.
Mark Fergus, Oscar-nominated co-screenwriter, Children of Men and Iron Man – :
Great movies have great story structure — period. Nobody understands that better, and communicates it more brilliantly, than Mr. McKenna.
Scott Silver, screenwriter, 8 Mile, Oscar-nominated for The Fighter – :
Just finished reading this and it’s already saved my ass. No shit. I needed a pitch for a rewrite and this book helped me crack it.
