Faber releases e-book-only screenplay

17.05.12 | Charlotte Williams

Faber is releasing its first e-book-only edition of a screenplay, for the forthcoming film "Moonrise Kingdom", which is directed by Wes Anderson, and written by Anderson and Roman Coppola.

The e-book will be released on 25th May, the same date as the film goes on general release in the UK, and will include the complete text of the screenplay, a 2,000-word interview with Anderson, and 30 colour images from the film.

It will be priced £4.99 and will be available across all devices.

Anderson's previous films include "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Fantastic Mr Fox".

"Moonrise Kingdom", which stars Edward Norton, Bruce Willis and Frances McDormand, is set in 1965 on an island off the coast of New England as hurricane season looms, telling the story of romance between two 12-year-olds, Lucy Bishop and Sam.
