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 \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Now\u003c\/i\u003e (1979), reached the apex of his directorial career in the 1980s with films such as \u003ci\u003eConan the Barbarian\u003c\/i\u003e (1982) and \u003ci\u003eRed Dawn\u003c\/i\u003e (1984). More recently, he was involved in a series of innovative projects such as the creation of the HBO series \u003ci\u003eRome\u003c\/i\u003e (2005-2007) and the invention of the \u003ci\u003eUltimate Fighting Championship\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfio Leotta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 149854374X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498543743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Alfio Leotta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993040781567,"sku":"9781498543743","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ab6a1a9-b6a2-4df9-91e8-86ac53c93bea.jpg?v=1683322196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-john-milius-alfio-leotta-9781498543743","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
