{"product_id":"the-players-jo-reynolds-9781845960605","title":"The Players: Taking Hollywood for a Ride","description":"This is the astonishing true story of how a bankrupt con man bounced back by beating Hollywood at its own game. Colin Hayday's first scam was ingenious: he bought a skyscraper - with no money. When the scam failed, he realised the story could make a money-spinning movie. So he drove a taxi around Soho, London's film district, pitching the idea to everyone who got into his cab. When he picked up the Oscar-winning mogul behind \"Taxi Driver,\" \"The Sting\" and \"Close Encounters,\" his next scam began. \"The Players\" is about endless cunning, reckless audacity, famous names and a most unlikely duo: Colin and screenwriter Jo Reynolds. It reveals the truth behind their $15 million movie deal and how they played off the world's press against the mighty Hollywood machine - to keep their dream alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo Reynolds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845960602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845960605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mainstream Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.73h x 6.87w x 0.80d","brand":"Jo Reynolds","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48587926667519,"sku":"9781845960605","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a793b7a3-6662-4116-90b4-1226dc9d5aa0.jpg?v=1780171418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-players-jo-reynolds-9781845960605","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
