AS YOU WISH

Actor Cary Elwes's remembrances on the making of the classic movie The Princess Bride in which he starred as the hero, Westley, sharing many never-before-told stories and behind-the-scenes accounts, plus interviews from costars Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, and Mandy Patinkin, writer William Goldman, producer Norman Lear, and a foreword by director Rob Reiner.

Cary Elwes's As You Wish: Tales From the Princess Bride will include many never-before-shared stories and behind-the-scenes accounts of the making of the iconic movie, ranked by the American Film Institute as one of the top 100 Greatest Love Stories and by the Writers Guild of America as one of the top 100 screenplays of all time. The Princess Bride was a modest hit in theaters, but with the home video market it soon became a bestseller on VHS, then DVD, and Blu-Ray, as people passed along their love for the movie to new generations.

Elwes was inspired to give fans an unprecendented look into the creation of this hallmark piece and share his fond memories from the set after the cast and crew celebrated the movie's 25th anniversary celebration at the New York Film Festival in 2012. He will also include making-of-the-movie photos and interviews with many of the people who were involved with the film, including Robin Wright (Princess Buttercup), Billy Crystal (Miracle Max), Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya), Christopher Guest (Count Tyrone Rugen), Chris Sarandon (Prince Humperdinck), Wallace Shawn (Vizzini), Rob Reiner (director), Norman Lear (producer), and William Goldman (writer). As You Wish will be a wonderful gift and must-have for the film's legion of fans.
