Merlin: The Shooting Script

Merlin was the highest rated TV miniseries of 1998, with over 70 million viewers over two nights. From Hallmark Entertainment and NBC, the producers of the hit TV miniseries Gulliver's Travels, The Odyssey, and Moby Dick, comes Merlin, the entirely new two-part, four-hour miniseries featuring an all-star international cast including Sam Neill, Isabella Rossellini, Miranda Richardson, Martin Short, Rutger Hauer, Helena Bonham Carter, John Gielgud, and James Earl Jones. 29 b/w photos. The Newmarket Shooting Script(tm) Series features an attractive 7 x 9 1/4 inch format that includes a facsimile of the film's shooting script, as chosen by the writer and/or director, exclusive notes on the film's production and history, stills, and credits.

Merlinis pure, luxurious pleasure, witty, exciting and star-studded in the best possible way. The result is nothing less than an instant classic that deserves to be shown annually, the way it was the tradition to broadcast The Wizard of Oz every year. It's that good-- that scary, that rich, that much fun. -- Entertainment Weekly
