Although most contemporary film-viewers have forgotten him, John Milius has been one of the most influential and controversial film-makers in the history of American cinema. Along with the likes of George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, Milius was a central figure of the so called New Hollywood'. Milius, who gained an Academy Award nomination as screenwriter for Apocalypse Now (1979), reached the apex of his directorial career in the 1980s with films such as Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Red Dawn (1984). More recently, he was involved in a series of innovative projects such as the creation of the HBO series Rome (2005-2007) and the invention of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: John Milius: Writer and Director Chapter 2: Collaborative Relationships Chapter 3: The Rise of a Screenwriter Star Chapter 4: 1970s: The Emergence of the Writer-Director   Chapter 5: 1980s: The Commercial Success Chapter 6: 1990s and 2000s: From Film to TV and Beyond","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040737821015,"sku":"9781498543729","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498543729.jpg?v=1750947677","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-john-milius-9781498543729","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
