Description

Explore the complex relationship between film, media, and celebrity through this academic collection from Routledge. This book approaches the biopic as a specific form of adaptation and intermediality, examining how different media converge within the genre. It investigates the various source texts that inform these stories and the ongoing debates regarding fidelity and authenticity in biographical filmmaking. The contributors analyze both big and small screen biopics featuring British celebrities from the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries. By studying these works, the text looks at how the genre functions in myth-making and myth-breaking. This collection provides a deep look into how the contemporary British biopic participates in the production and consumption of celebrity culture, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of film and media studies.
