Mirrormask: The Illustrated Film Script of the Motion Picture

I have not seen the film of this story, so this is my first encounter of Mirrormask. I enjoyed the story, and the correspondence between Dave McKean & Gaiman. Hugely deserving of Gaiman's vast imagination, combining the circus, a Brighton roof-top, terminal disease, trust & betrayal, riding floating books over voids, a key with many locks...this book is the illustrated film script, mostly B&W throughout.

Another piece of reference material for the Gaiman and McKean scholars, this book contains the complete storyboards and script of Mirrormask as well as discussions and letters by Gaiman and McKean regarding the original concepts behind the film. I'm not really into reading film scripts (especially when I can watch the film - which is wonderful and strange), but I highly enjoyed the original fairytale that Gaiman wrote and the subsequent discussion via email alterring and adding to the story concept.

For the fans of the movie! It's the entire movie's script with concept art/storyboards alongside it, so it's a screenplay book :) Absolutely beautiful and stunning. It is quite literally as if you are watching the movie in book form.

Disturbing and not high on my list of recommendations. A girl gets tossed out of her own world into the Mirror world where things are pretty ugly. The one positive is that it is a short audiobook which can be listened to in less than 2 hours.

A beautiful, oversized hardcover edition. This is an illustrated screenplay of the film adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel. A very nice collector's piece.

The entire screenplay is here (including some scenes and dialog ultimately cut from the film), all illustrated with Dave McKean's deceptively simple storyboard sketches. There are also some lovely stills from the film, as well as backstage photos.
