A Beautiful Mind

In the Newmarket Shooting Script® format, the new movie directed by Ron Howard (Ransom, Apollo 13) starring Russell Crowe about the life of Nobel Prize winner John Forbes Nash Jr., a mathematical genius diagnosed with paranoid-schizophrenia—a Universal and DreamWorks co-production, coming in December 2001. From the heights of notoriety to the depths of depravity, John Forbes Nash, Jr. (Russell Crowe) experienced it all. A mathematical genius, he made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a painful and harrowing journey of self-discovery. After many years of struggle, he eventually triumphed over this tragedy, and late in life received the Nobel Prize for his work in game theory. The film is based in part on the biography by Sylvia Nasar. The Newmarket book includes the complete shooting script, an introduction by Ron Howard especially for this edition, 10 b/w stills, production notes, and the complete credits.
