Om denne bog

''Hugely entertaining.'' Prospect
''An instant classic.'' Andrew O''Hagan, author of Caledonian Road
''Expertly researched.'' Sight & Sound
''A rollicking, gossipy triumph.''
Daily Telegraph *****
''Wildly enjoyable.'' Guardian

‘Failure fascinates, for all the reasons that success is a drag . . .’


From grand follies to misunderstood masterpieces, disastrous sequels to catastrophic literary adaptations, Tim Robey’s hugely entertaining Box Office Poison tells an alternative history of Hollywood, through a century of its most notable flops.

Freaks, Land of the Pharaohs, Dune, Speed 2, Catwoman, Cats: what can these films tell us about the Hollywood system, the public’s appetite - or lack of it - and the circumstances that saw such box office disasters actually made? Away from the canon, here is the definitive take on these ill-fated, but essential celluloid failures.
