Below the Line: Anatomy of a Successful Movie is narrative nonfiction about how major motion pictures are made today using one movie as a vehicle. The book follows the people making Last Vegas, stopping along the way to explain process and different aspects of the business. The movie stars are well known -- Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Mary Steenburgen - but here they play supporting roles. Instead the leads are the people behind the camera, the director (Jon Turteltaub, The Meg) and a huge cast of artists and artisans, designers and creators, overseers, office and logistical support, editors and musicians. Below the Line proves movies are a collaborative art form.
