About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A wildly ambitious story of the making of a colossal, star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film, and the humble comic book that inspired it all.
Spanning 80 years of a changing America and culminating in the opening of the film, we meet a colourful cast of characters including a troubled soldier returning from war, a young boy with an artistic gift, an inspired and eccentric director, a pompous film star on the rise, a tireless production assistant and countless film crew members that together create Hollywood magic.
Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece offers an insider's take on the momentous efforts it takes to make a film. At once a reflection on America's past and present, on the world of show business and the real world we all live in.
This audiobook features 15 narrators, including Rita Wilson, other character backstories performed by Peter Gerety (Charlie Wilson's War, The Wire), Natalie Morales (Dead to Me, Language Lessons), Ego Nwodim (Saturday Night Live), Nasim Pedrad (Chad, Saturday Night Live), Connor Ratliff (Dead Eyes, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and Holland Taylor (The Practice, The Morning Show). Additional parts are performed by Frankie Corzo, Hillary Huber, David Lee Huynh, Sean Patrick Hopkins, JD Jackson, January LaVoy, and Oliver Wyman.
Interspersed throughout the book are three comic books featured in the story. This audiobook contains downloadable PDF of the comics from the book and a QR code for access to the original screenplay of Knightshade: The Lathe of Firefall.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Beautiful experience
I don’t think I’ll ever watch a movie or tv series the same way again. What a beautifully crafter story and with narration provided by Tom Hanks himself, this deserves 10 stars. Loved the whole experience.

Extreme detail, slow and can get boring
I am a big time movie buff. Watch more than 300 movies every year, have a YouTube channel and all that. Obsessed with movies. So, this book is made for people like me. Tom Hanks is awesome.
This is not full cast like characters have different voices. It’s more like different actors reading different chapters. That is a bummer. But, it is more like story telling, so you will get used to it. There is too much detail and it is almost like a history lesson. Extensive knowledge about Hollywood and USA is required to enjoy the references. I have this knowledge so it’s good. Still, the early chapters are extremely long, detailed and boring. Tom Hanks voice is great but the novelty wears off. I usually marathon listen most books. This book, this is one of those books that you hear 1 chapter, take a gap and read again type of books. Too boring for marathon watching.
Strictly for movie buffs and USA history lovers. Others can happily ignore even if you are Tom Hanks fans.

A delightful story
Wonderful performances by the voice actors. A very delightful look at the making of a movie starting from the inspiration to the final screening.
