Overview

A fiercely satirical look at today's ""culture of spin"", this hilarious and moving film portrays Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart), the chief spokesman of Big Tobacco, firmly in the spotlight as he makes his living defending the rights of smokers and cigarette manufacturers, spinning away the dangers of tobacco on TV talk shows and enlisting a Hollywood super-agent to promote smoking in movies. His newfound notoriety puts him right in the firing line of everyone from anti-smoking zealots to investigative reporters - and forces him to rethink everything he ever thought he knew. This excellent volume presents the complete film shooting script and an exclusive introduction by Jason Reitman, a foreword by Christopher Buckley - whose book inspired the movie, production notes, colour photographs from the production, as well as comprehensive cast and crew credits.
