Synopsis

How did the actors and trainers deal with the real 300 Snakes on a Plane? What would make Ewan MacGregor beg to adopt the dog he worked with on the set of Beginners? From Joey in War Horse to the wolves in Game of Thrones, what we see on screen is only the tip of the iceberg. These eye-popping, heart-warming stories reveal the trainers, actors, directors, and, of course, dogs, cats, horses, birds, etc. in their behind the scenes glory. Animal actors are shown to have diva tendencies and rags-to-riches back-stories. Directors and actors are shown to stretch professional boundaries to create emotional ties with their nonhuman coworkers. And from penguins, Shih Tzu, and horses to Jack Russell Terriers and Lynx cats, the animals on set are shown to be as lovable, personality-filled, and at times frustrating as the animals in our homes.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

With stories that are by turns eye-popping (think about the 300 snakes, especially the Burmese python weighing 250 pounds, in Snakes on a Plane), heart-warming (Ewan MacGregor once begged to adopt a dog he worked with on the set of Beginners, and still stops by to walk the dog now and then) and instructive (one famous dog trainer compares training a new pet to cooking you open the refrigerator and must make something from whatever you find there), Animal Stars offers unprecedented access to the fascinating, hidden world of animals and animal trainers in today s film and television industry and the celebrities they work with. This is the first book written in partnership with the American Humane Association and their No Animals Were Harmed staff, who go on set to protect over 100,000 animal actors each year with a remarkable 99.8% safety rate. This unique position gives access to profiles of some of the best-known celebrity dogs, cats, horses, birds, and more from Joey in War Horse to the wolves in Game of Thrones to the penguins in Mr. Popper s Penguins to Crookshanks in the Harry Potter films to the werewolves in True Blood. For the first time they re sharing never-before-heard stories and surprising details and insights of how these animals became stars, and how they touched the people behind the scenes as much as the viewers in front of them.
