Kurzbeschreibung
THE COMPLETE TORTUROUS STORY of the 1910 film version of Frankenstein is narrated in this 100th Anniversary edition. Everything you ever wanted to know about the classic first Frankenstein film and then some. This highly researched document begins in the dusty archives of Thomas A. Edison and follows a trail of evidence that leads through the tattered pages of pre- Hollywood film history. The story unfolds of the making of the film and its disappearance on to the actual re-discovery of the long-lost 1910 Frankenstein film starring Charles Ogle, Augustus Phillips, and Mary Fuller, and finally getting it released on DVD. Helped step-by-step with obscure Edison Manufacturing Co. documents and numerous rare photographs, many published for the very first time, this motion picture, its unknown impact on later Frankenstein films and intertextuality are finally revealed and brought back to life. Created in a style that appeals to all audiences, author Wiebel brings forth a living book from dead tissues. Edison's Frankenstein stands on its own in the world of horror filmography and is a welcome edition to any library. "Of the over 400 books on Frankenstein that I have in my library, this is the gem of my collection and the one I've been waiting for." - Forrest J. Ackerman

At Last We Know The Whole Story!
8. Februar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) got the idea for her novel "Frankenstein" in 1816. Mary's mother had died, from complications of giving birth, when Mary was only 11 days old. Mary was raised by her father, who blamed Mary for her mother's death, and never forgave her. So Mary's novel "Frankenstein" was a bit autobiographical when she wrote about a creature who was created not out of love; she took this a step further and had the creature created out of science, circumventing the need of women in procreation. And the creature in her novel was not loved by its creator, or "father." Mary did not use all-new elements for her story, she incorporated the legends of the Golem (artificial man made of clay) and Prometheus.
This book is about Edison's "Frankenstein" (1910), a 15-minute movie. Edison's movie studios picked "Frankenstein" not only because it was one of the most famous stories of its time, but mainly because it was public domain.
Just as Mary had created the novel "Frankenstein" on stormy nights, Thomas Edison had a stormy time making movies starting in the 1890s. Back in those days, the nitrate film stock was dangerously volatile, with a combustible temperature of only 284 degrees. Since the films were run through carbon arc lamp projectors (which get very hot), if the films jammed, they would start a fire. Many theatres had to be quickly evacuated!
In this fascinating BearManor book, you will learn everything there is to know about this one-time "lost" film--from casting, script re-writes, newly-developed trick photography, censorship, to final product. Thanks to the unrelenting efforts of Edison in developing early films, we can say of the Frankenstein creature: "It's alive!"
