Product Description
The official screenplay book tie-in to the hit thriller from Warner Bros., starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson, Tilda Swinton, and Sydney Pollack, and written and directed by Tony Gilroy (The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy).

Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house "fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen's dirtiest work at the behest of the firm's co-founder Marty Bach (Sydney Pollack). Though burned out and hardly content with his job, his divorce, a failed business venture, and mounting debt have left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm. At the agrichemical company U/North, meanwhile, the career of in-house counsel Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) rests on the multimillion-dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton's firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. But when Kenner Bach's brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life.

The Newmarket Shooting Script® book includes the complete script, an exclusive foreword by William Goldman, a Q&A with writer/director Tony Gilroy, a color photo section, and the complete cast and crew credits. ... Read more

A MASTERPIECE!
A phenomenal film was created from this most elegant and intelligent of scripts. An accurate insight into both the legal world and the mind of a compulsive gambler. Stirring and beautiful.

Engrossing, accurate script
As a semi-retired attorney, I know Michael Clayton.He fixes problems created by attorneys and clients of a large law firm.Attorneys come with all mortal and moral flaws plus some never dreamed of by those not within the legal profession.The role of Karen, the female corporate defense attorney, is so perfectly written as to describe any number of women who have risen to the top of the profession.There are many Karens in the legal field.I did not expect to enjoy the movie, but I truly did.Normally I hate to watch movies about lawyers because they are either poorly written or bring back sad memories.I want to grab the script writer and shake him or her and say, "That is not the way it is done, you idiot!"That is not true of this script. ...

A mi me gusta La Princesa Prometida!
One of my favorite exercises for improving my Spanish skills is watching movies with an excellent Spanish language track - and "The Princess Bride" is one of the best I've come across.The book expands on the story, providing background on the lives of each of the characters that the movie leaves out - Inigo and Fezzik's childhoods, for example.Reading the book has expanded my vocabulary by leaps and bounds - and I enjoy the book so much that re-reading it is a definite pleasure.Each page I read without looking up a word shows me how much I've retained from the previous read-through.It's a fun story and a great read - in any language! ...
