Making Movie Magic: The Photographs - Hardcover

by John Richardson (Author), Michael G. Wilson (Foreword by), Barbara Broccoli (Foreword by)

In 2019, Oscar-winning special effects supremo John Richardson released his first book, the bestselling Making Movie Magic, which chronicled his remarkable career in the film industry.

A year later, during a house clear-out as the country was stuck in a seemingly never-ending lockdown, he unearthed another treasure trove of unpublished, behind the scenes images from the blockbuster films he worked on.

Featuring never-before-seen photos from all of the Harry Potter films, eight James Bond films, Aliens, A Bridge Too Far, Willow, The Omen and many others, all reproduced in stunning color alongside extended captions which reveal how the effects were achieved, More Movie Magic is a further celebration of Richardson's extraordinary body of work.
