Issue #60 (Roger Deakins): Magazine

The new edition of Film Stories magazine is available to buy now from our online store. To mark our 60th issue, we’re offering three limited edition, collectible covers, each one highlighting one of the huge features you’ll find among its 168 pages. First, there’s the eminent cinematographer Roger Deakins. He and creative partner James Deakins join us for an exclusive interview about their new book and extraordinary filmmaking careers, from the Coen brothers to Skyfall and beyond. Next, we head back to 1991 and its extraordinary battle of the blockbusters: find out how Terminator 2: Judgment Day came together in a matter of months, how Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves beat a pair of competing outlaw movies, and how the infamous Hudson Hawk began to flail even in its earliest writing stages. Then we track down Richard Linklater and the key people involved in making 2006’s A Scanner Darkly - the most faithful adaptation of a Philip K Dick story ever made. Discover how a stunning-looking animated film, starring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr and Winona Ryder, almost fell apart during its production - and went on to become a cult classic. Thank you, as always, for supporting Film Stories.
